Although, by all appearances, House of Cards is a television series about politics, it in fact explores some of the most subversive questions raised by Machiavelli's writings: what if the Prince were a ferocious animal? What would happen if our political world were overtaken by vampires? Would they be capable of mastering their bloodthirsty instincts, or would they remain true to their fundamental nature?In their relentless quest for power, Frank Underwood, his wife Claire and his chief of staff Doug Stamper are so ruthlessly ambitious that they demolish all boundaries between good and evil. According to a Machiavellian logic taken to its extreme, the specific necessity of a given situation always wins out over common morality. In the struggle for survival, these people are the predators, determined to come out on top whatever the cost.This book examines how the producers of the series take monstrous characters - who would not be out of place in a crime series or a horror film - and set them in the world of politics, which offers little resistance to violence and turns into a laboratory for systematic destruction. In this variation on the conflict between brutalization and civilization at the heart of power, the political sphere therefore becomes the scene of crime par excellence.Although the book contains concepts and theories in political science, it is accessibly written. It is also didactic: many examples are taken from the series and from the novels, so the reader always understands what is at stake in the analysis. It will find both an academic and a more general audience.Primary academic readership will be scholars and students in law, political science, film studies, media studies and cultural studies. The wider readership will include fans of the show, and of course people interested in politics, political thrillers, political philosophy, corruption and democracy, as well as the nature of political leadership.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An analysis of the TV series House of Cards that explores the destructive effects of revenge in the political field. What if Machiavellis Prince were a ferocious animal? What would happen if our political world were overtaken by vampires? Would they be capable of mastering their bloodthirsty instincts or would they remain true to their fundamental nature? In their relentless ambition and ruthless quest for power, the main characters in Netflixs House of Cards series often take Machiavellian logic to its extreme. The specific necessity of a given situation always wins out over common morality, and the boundaries between good and evil are demolished. In the struggle for survival, these people are the predators, determined to come out on top whatever the cost. In this book, Emmanuel Taieb examines how the series takes monstrous characters and sets them in the world of politics, which offers little resistance to violence and turns into a laboratory for systematic destruction. In this variation on the conflict between brutalization and civilization at the heart of power, the political sphere becomes the scene of crime par excellence. Exploration of the idea that House of Cards sets an alternate political world, where the leader is a ferocious animal, a political field overtaken by monsters who remain true to their fundamental nature or try to master their bloodthirsty instincts. But can we really think that the elected men and women are so different from their constituents? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"The abolition of the death penalty in France in 1981 long overshadowed an equally significant event: the abolition of the public nature of executions in 1939. Since the Revolution, killing was a ritual of violence that could attract tens of thousands of curious people. And there was no shortage of opportunities, because under the Third Republic, there were hundreds of public executions in dozens of cities, including, of course, Paris. What did this bloody theater of the guillotine look like? And how did it end up being relegated to the inside of prisons? Based on judicial and police archives, the notebooks of the executioner Deibler and sources from an era haunted by crime and news items, this book analyzes the progressive contestation of the spectacle of execution. This solitary confinement took place under the impetus of several concomitant movements: the clash sensitivities of the elites, and in particular, journalists who identified with the tortured, competition from imprisonment, or the reluctance of the authorities to organize a guillotine. At the crossroads of political science, anthropology and the history of mentalities, this book reveals the mechanisms by which the Republic civilized capital punishment.".
