Sex and Death in True Detective. A Story of Power

Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence 2 (1) (2018)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The paper aims to show how the Tv series True Detective (season 1, 2014 – created and written by Nic Pizzolatto) aids us understanding the status of power whether in its political, judicial or religious form. The conjunction of sex and death is depicted through acts of paedophilia, rape, and murder of women and children. The study aims to elucidate the logic which is inherent to those acts of violence and which founds the reproduction of social domination mechanisms.
