Summary: "Written 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 hyperconsumerist 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" -- Back cover.Translation of (expression):: Valencia Triana, Margarita, 1980-, Capitalismo gore., [Barcelona] : Melusina, 2010
