Under torture, the subject ( victim ) is forced into a position of purely object that ultimately loses his/her sense of interiority and intimacy. The boundaries between realms of experience that are normally separated are being blurred. Thoughts and dreams attack the mind and invade the body. The separation of inside and outside, past and present, me and you, there and here, are lost. Such experience of silent impact of violence represents the cultural boundary of self and its relation to the world collapsed. " On the edge of non-existence and hallucination, of a reality that, if I acknowledge it, annihilates me. There, abject and abjection are my safeguards. The primer of culture " (Kristera ). Our culture deals with morality so much in the history, that it explains what we lived. Here, culture must ask where is the boundary Unfortunately, no one knows ! Cultural form are the external world that we live in, it describes and identifies us. If a person is lost in the world, thru experiencing abjection, pain derives from threat, the self-expressed that experiencing pain is internal. That's why committing suicide becomes a cultural form in order to defend the loss self. Therefore, if violence enters the consciousness and action and quickly consequences in reconfiguring social thoughts, social order and culture into a destructive phenomenon, then, violence demonstrates a cultural system that is capable of overshadowing and destroying communication, process of thinking and reasoning and action in the world. Therefore, violence disrupts the social and cultural system in our society.
In our civilized society, violence is a tool used to perpetuate the discriminated and different groups. Violent acts directs at political belief ( eg. Vietnam war ), religion ( eg. the current Palestinian and Israelian internal conflicts ), and sexual orientation. Sexual abuse is a violation of body, that leaves emotional and bodily scars, which does not heal over time.
