Even though Walter Benjamin¿s classical correlation between law and violence provides the framework for the kind of critique the Comaroffs perform, I want to show that when the question refers to what kind of critique they undertake in the context of the postcolony, as well as what form it needs to take in the specific context of the postcolonial world, it is the Comaroffs¿ critical approaches to Michel Foucault rather than to Benjamin that become particularly illuminating. 2020-05-21T09:18:07Z 2020-05-21T09:18:07Z 2019-01 article publishedVersion Revista de Estudios Sociales - Número 67 (Enero 2019) páginas 17-25 http://hdl.handle.net/1992/31716 10.7440/res67.2019.02 https://doi.org/10.7440/res67.2019.02 https://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/doi/pdf/10.7440/res67.2019.02 eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ openAccess application/pdf instname:Universidad de los Andes reponame:Repositorio Institucional Séneca
