shock

is a registration of a discontinuity in the social sphere. Sudden and powerful event of violence do not just the continuity of a social situation, but also reconfigure the limits of derangement.

does not simply have to do with the presence and violence of new material forces, but with persons' registration of a discontinuity in the social sphere that was brought about by thse material forces. In this phenomenon, he argues, a 'sudden and powerful event of violence . . . disrupts the continuity of an artificially/mechanically created notion or situation, and also the subsequent state of derangement. The precondition for this is a highly developed general state of dominance over nature, both technically (military example: firearms) and physically (military example: troop discipline). The degree of control over nature and the violence of the collapse of that control, in shock, are proportionate: the more finely meshed the web of mechanization, discipline, division of labor, etc., the more catastrophic the collapse when it is disrupted from within or without' (in The Philosophy of War Films By David LaRocca burke hilsabeck 194)
