Working Out Scheper-Hughes

Here are the questions we might want to consider to conclude our conversation about Death without Weeping: As given in the chapter we are reading, does everyday violence lean toward physical violence or structural violence? What does everyday violence look like (pg. 230)? What does the body have to do with violence, bodies worth living, bodies that matter, bodies worth grieving? How might the traffick in children be understood as a form of violence (pg. 239-246)? How can the hospital be understood as a Foucaultian “institution of violence” (pg. 246-249)?
