Example text
It is an act of desperation which at the same time exposes the inhumanity of those it tries to communicate with, those who are deaf or indifferent to human needs and who are ultimately dehumanized because of this deafness and indifference. Sacrifice under these terms denies dignity and as such exposes humiliation, the abdication of decency and the imposition of cruelty. Reference to the hunger strikers as men ‘on the blanket’ further adds to the inhumanity and dehumanization of the environment in which they starved.
Moreover, to find that support, it is the absorption of suffering rather than its infliction that must dominate if sacrifice is to be construed as legitimate political action (Kearney 1980: 701). In that sense, the myths that surround sacrifice must connect with the idea of liberation, but credibility for this depends on some coherence in the relationship between what Ricoeur (in interview with Richard Kearney) calls ‘critical instance’ on the one hand and ‘mythical foundation’ on the other (Kearney 1978b: 262).
No sane person, one might think, would exist in a space covered in shit or deliberately starve to death unless what this action was trying to oppose necessitated such extreme action and so therefore was even more inhumane. It is an act of desperation which at the same time exposes the inhumanity of those it tries to communicate with, those who are deaf or indifferent to human needs and who are ultimately dehumanized because of this deafness and indifference. Sacrifice under these terms denies dignity and as such exposes humiliation, the abdication of decency and the imposition of cruelty.
