oapen.abstract.otherlanguageWhy is violence so deeply rooted in our culture? How does it manifest in different arenas of society, and what does violence do to us as individuals and communities? Violence in Culture explores violence in its many forms—from physical and psychological violence to structural and symbolic violence. The book brings together researchers from different disciplines who examine how violence shapes school, sports, religion, music, literature, and understandings of gender. Among the themes investigated are honor culture and clan-based violence, violence in sports, violence in music and popular culture, and how violence is portrayed in literary and religious texts. Philosophical and sociological theories of violence are discussed through thinkers such as Hobbes, Nietzsche, Arendt, and Elias. How has society attempted to regulate violence throughout history? What does the monopoly on violence mean in modern states, and how is it challenged by new forms of lawlessness? The anthology combines theoretical analyses with concrete examples and provides a nuanced insight into how violence both destroys and organizes social relations. The book is aimed at researchers, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of violence’s role in society—and what is required to counter it. A thought-provoking book about an uncomfortable, yet unavoidable topic.
