Expanded crime route: Drugs, Crime & the Underworld adds dedicated passes for criminality, vice economies, policing, intoxication and underworld geography.

Worked and unworked violence

Wrestling provides one of the clearest models: performed violence can be fake while the skill, danger and bodily consequence are real. That distinction migrates outward into politics, crime, propaganda and interpersonal threat, where theatricality does not make coercion harmless.

Violence as infrastructure

Guns, police, military systems and security apparatuses often appear not as exceptional emergencies but as parts of the environment. The work is interested in what happens when a society treats coercion as background logistics and then insists that the resulting order is natural.

The damaged body

Violence also returns the work from abstraction to flesh. Bruises, blood, broken cars, exhausted performers, injured bodies and physical intimidation prevent systems-talk from remaining bloodless.
