An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today''s hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism.“Death has become the most profitable business in existence.”—from Gore CapitalismWritten by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity.In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence.This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.

En dypgående analyse
- Feministisk filosofi: Valencia kombinerer moderne filosofi med dekoloniale perspektiver for å gi et kritisk blikk på hvordan vold påvirker livene til de som lever i krigsherjede områder, spesielt i Tredje verdens land.
- Vold som vare: Boken argumenterer for at torturerte og lemlestede kropper har blitt produkter under de neoliberale markedskreftene hvor økonomisk fortjeneste prioriteres over menneskeliv.
- Kritikk av maskulinitet: Valencia går i dybden på hvordan tradisjonelle kjønnsroller bidrar til vold og undertrykkelse, og knytter dette til den økende handelen av vold.
