This paper examines the debates surrounding Benjamin's concept of divine violence and situates it in the context of the deconstruction of law and the question of nonviolence. Derrida takes issue with Benjamin's conceptualization of divine violence as a force located outside of legal violence and warns of its annihilative potential. Agamben and Hamacher criticize this interpretation of Derrida for failing to understand the de-positionalizing character of divine violence. However, Derrida was concerned about the very de-positionalizing character of divine violence, and in this context, Agamben and Hamacher's critique has its limitations. In his reading of the General Strike of the Proletariat, Derrida draws attention to the problem of the deconstruction of law implicit in Benjamin's text, which provides an idea that leads to a deconstruction of divine violence as a deconstruction of legal violence rather than a deconstruction of divine violence as a deconstruction of law. This deconstruction of legal violence leads Butler to a critique of violence as inherent in law and the practice of nonviolence. Butler argues that divine violence as a counter to legal violence is mediated through another layer of law, the commandments, which can be translated into norms of nonviolence as equality of grievability. In conclusion, I want to show how a deconstructionist perspective and norms of nonviolence are necessary in order for a critique of violence to be carried out from a perspective that does not deny violence altogether, but nevertheless restrains it.
