Violence
Zizek argues that the physical violence we see is often generated by the systemic violence that sustains our political and economic systems.With the help of eminent philosophers like Marx, Engel and Lacan, as well as frequent references to popular culture, he examines the real causes of violent outbreaks like those seen in Israel and Palestine and in terrorist acts around the world.Ultimately, he warns, doing nothing is often the most violent course of action we can take.

England's Jews : Finance, Violence, and the Crown in the Thirteenth Century
In 1290, Jews were expelled from England and subsequently largely expunged from English historical memory.Yet for two centuries they occupied important roles in medieval English society.England’s Jews revisits this neglected chapter of English history—one whose remembrance is more important than ever today, as antisemitism and other forms of racism are on the rise. Historian John Tolan tells the story of the thousands of Jews who lived in medieval England.Protected by the Crown and granted the exclusive right to loan money with interest, Jews financed building projects, provided loans to students, and bought and rented out housing.Historical texts show that they shared meals and beer, celebrated at weddings, and sometimes even ended up in bed with Christians. Yet Church authorities feared the consequences of Jewish contact with Christians and tried to limit it, though to little avail.Royal protection also proved to be a double-edged sword: when revolts broke out against the unpopular king Henry III, some of the rebels, in debt to Jewish creditors, killed Jews and destroyed loan records.Vicious rumors circulated that Jews secretly plotted against Christians and crucified Christian children.All of these factors led Edward I to expel the Jews from England in 1290.Paradoxically, Tolan shows, thirteenth-century England was both the theatre of fruitful interreligious exchange and a crucible of European antisemitism.

What is violence?
Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power to harm, damage, or kill someone or something. It can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal. Violence often results in pain, suffering, and trauma for the victim, and can have long-lasting negative effects on individuals and communities. It is a violation of human rights and is often used as a means to control, dominate, or intimidate others.

Is it permissible to combat physical violence with physical violence?
While self-defense is a universally recognized right, it is important to consider the circumstances and proportionality of the response. In some cases, physical violence may be necessary to protect oneself or others from harm. However, it is important to prioritize de-escalation and seek non-violent solutions whenever possible. It is advisable to seek help from authorities or professionals trained in conflict resolution to address situations involving physical violence.

What is the difference between psychological violence and physical violence?
Psychological violence involves the use of words, gestures, or actions to manipulate, control, or intimidate another person. This can include threats, humiliation, and emotional abuse. On the other hand, physical violence involves the use of physical force to cause harm or injury to another person, such as hitting, kicking, or pushing. While both forms of violence can have serious and long-lasting effects on the victim, psychological violence can be more difficult to recognize and address, as it does not leave visible scars.

Ethical Violence
Human civilization is founded on ethical principles, norms of behaviour that have accumulated over time.Perhaps the oldest of ethical principles is the rejection of violence, which includes the respect for life and for the physical and psychological integrity of others.But, in some circumstances, violence itself can be regarded as ethical – for example, when it is used by states claiming to act in self-defence.In these circumstances, the need to defend oneself against an enemy can transform war from an unacceptable act into a necessary, socially shared and morally sanctioned choice. And it is when violence becomes ethical that we must begin to fear for our future. In the wake of the pandemic, we are witnessing the growing prevalence of aggression and emotionality in social and political life.We find ourselves living in an increasingly impatient and insecure society, which is sceptical of scientific thought and which takes refuge in the irrational.The decline of rationality and the growing prevalence of violence are increasingly common features of a society that has lost touch with the great Enlightenment narrative.We need, argues Bordoni, to rediscover the rationality we have lost and recuperate the positive side of technology.

Spatial Violence
This book poses spatial violence as a constitutive dimension of architecture and its epistemologies, as well as a method for theoretical and historical inquiry intrinsic to architecture; and thereby offers an alternative to predominant readings of spatial violence as a topic, event, fact, or other empirical form that may be illustrated by architecture.Exploring histories of and through architecture at sites across the globe, the chapters in the book blur the purportedly distinctive borders between war and peace, framing violence as a form of social, political, and economic order rather than its exceptional interruption.Regarding space and violence as co-constitutive, the book’s collected essays critique modernization and capitalist accumulation as naturalized modes for the extraction of violence from everyday life.Focusing on the mediation of violence through architectural registers of construction, destruction, design, use, representation, theory, and history, the book suggests that violence is not only something inflicted upon architecture, but also something that architecture inflicts.In keeping with Walter Benjamin’s formulation that there is no document of civilization that is not also a document of barbarism, the book offers "spatial violence" as another name for "architecture" itself.This book was previously published as a special issue of Architectural Theory Review.

Why have the bonds in my portfolio, which are securities, lost the most value, even though they are EU government bonds considered safe investment havens?
The value of bonds in your portfolio may have decreased due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds decreases because they are paying lower interest rates than newly issued bonds. This is known as interest rate risk. Even though EU government bonds are considered safe investments, they are still subject to fluctuations in interest rates, which can impact their value. Additionally, other factors such as economic conditions, inflation expectations, and market sentiment can also affect the value of bonds in your portfolio.

How does investing in bonds differ from investing in a bank account?
Investing in bonds involves purchasing debt securities issued by governments or corporations, which pay a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time. In contrast, investing in a bank account typically involves depositing money into a savings or checking account, where it earns a variable interest rate set by the bank. Bonds generally offer higher potential returns than bank accounts, but they also carry a higher level of risk. Additionally, bonds have a maturity date, while bank accounts provide more immediate access to funds.

Can violence be justified?
Violence is a complex and controversial issue, and opinions on its justification vary widely. Some argue that violence can be justified in self-defense or in defense of others, when all other options have been exhausted. Others believe that violence is never justified, as it often leads to further harm and perpetuates a cycle of violence. Ultimately, the question of whether violence can be justified depends on individual beliefs, values, and the specific circumstances of each situation.
