Arnon Bentovim - Episteme

Growing up in a climate of abuse and
violence
Sebastian Faulks - Engleby(2006)
• ‘That child would slowly ascend towards full
awareness in a world whose sky was violence and
whose horizons were fear. And however resourceful
he was, however patient and fortunate in the events
of his life which followed, he was like a creature in a
nest of imprisoning boxes who could never really
break free’
• ‘This was his world and any attempt to persuade him
that it was merely a ‘subjective’ or ‘individual’
experience would never convince him’
