Violence in Europe : Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
Has violence changed over the centuries? Has it always held the same meanings for us?Will it always be a given in society?Taking the sociocultural long view, Violence in Europe analyzes the prevalence and role of violence – from street crime to terrorist attacks, homicide to genocide – in the evolution of human and national behaviour.The editors and 14 colleagues in history, anthropology, sociology, and psychology focus on Northern and Western Europe, examining centuries of violent phenomena, from the cultural logic of the Middle Ages to today’s soccer riots and security alerts.The contributors’ examination of social constructions (honour codes, class and gender roles) and public ambivalence (acceptance, abhorrence, fascination) regarding violence sheds needed light on current dynamics in law enforcement, political systems, and what many have termed "the civilization of violence."Findings from Britain, France, Ireland, Belgium, and Scandinavia explore: The paradoxes of ethnic violence and insider/outsider thinking in an increasingly multicultural world - Trends in interpersonal violence during wartime and peacetime - The gendering of violence, from early French marital laws to London’s underground nightlife - The growth of cities: modernization, conflict, aggression - Modern prevention and surveillance strategies: effective solutions, complicating the problem, or some middle ground?Reflecting innovative methods of research and interpretation, Violence in Europe is thought-provoking and instructive for researchers and students in psychology and criminology. And with the mounting global presence of violence today, this is reading with profound implications for the future.

Texts and Violence in the Roman World
From the bites and scratches of lovers and the threat of flogging that hangs over the comic slave, to murder, rape, dismemberment, and crucifixion, violence is everywhere in Latin literature.The contributors to this volume explore the manifold ways in which violence is constructed and represented in Latin poetry and prose from Plautus to Prudentius, examining the interrelations between violence, language, power, and gender, and the narrative, rhetorical, and ideological functions of such depictions across the generic spectrum.How does violence contribute to the pleasure of the text?Do depictions of violence always reinforce status-hierarchies, or can they provoke a reassessment of normative value-systems?Is the reader necessarily complicit with authorial constructions of violence?These are pressing questions both for ancient literature and for film and other modern media, and this volume will be of interest to scholars and students of cultural studies as well as of the ancient world.

Violence
Zizek argues that the physical violence we see is often generated by the systemic violence that sustains our political and economic systems.With the help of eminent philosophers like Marx, Engel and Lacan, as well as frequent references to popular culture, he examines the real causes of violent outbreaks like those seen in Israel and Palestine and in terrorist acts around the world.Ultimately, he warns, doing nothing is often the most violent course of action we can take.

Ranquil : Rural Rebellion, Political Violence, and Historical Memory in Chile
The first major history of Chile’s most significant peasant rebellion and the violent repression that followed In 1934, peasants turned to revolution to overturn Chile’s oligarchic political order and the profound social inequalities in the Chilean countryside.The brutal military counterinsurgency that followed was one of the worst acts of state terror in Chile until the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973–1990).Using untapped archival sources, award-winning scholar Thomas Miller Klubock exposes Chile’s long history of political violence and authoritarianism and chronicles peasants’ movements to build a more just and freer society.Klubock further explores how an amnesty law that erased both the rebellion and the military atrocities lay the foundation for the political stability that characterized Chile’s multi-party democracy.This historical amnesia or olvido, Klubock argues, was a precondition of national reconciliation and democratic rule, which endured until 1973, when conflict in the countryside ended once again with violent repression during the Pinochet dictatorship.

Is it permissible to combat physical violence with physical violence?
While self-defense is a universally recognized right, it is important to consider the circumstances and proportionality of the response. In some cases, physical violence may be necessary to protect oneself or others from harm. However, it is important to prioritize de-escalation and seek non-violent solutions whenever possible. It is advisable to seek help from authorities or professionals trained in conflict resolution to address situations involving physical violence.

What is the difference between psychological violence and physical violence?
Psychological violence involves the use of words, gestures, or actions to manipulate, control, or intimidate another person. This can include threats, humiliation, and emotional abuse. On the other hand, physical violence involves the use of physical force to cause harm or injury to another person, such as hitting, kicking, or pushing. While both forms of violence can have serious and long-lasting effects on the victim, psychological violence can be more difficult to recognize and address, as it does not leave visible scars.

Spare No One : Mass Violence in Roman Warfare
In 146 BC, the armies of the Roman Republic destroyed Carthage and Corinth, two of the most spectacular cities of the ancient Mediterranean world.It was a display of ruthlessness so terrible that it shocked contemporaries, leaving behind deep scars and palpable historical traumas.Yet these twin destructions were not so extraordinary in the long annals of Roman warfare.In Spare No One, Gabriel Baker convincingly shows that mass violence was vital to Roman military operations.Indeed, in virtually every war they fought during the third and second centuries BC, the Roman legions killed and enslaved populations, executed prisoners, and put cities to the torch.This powerful book reveals that these violent acts were not normally the handiwork of frenzied soldiers run amok, nor were they spontaneous outbursts of uncontrolled savagery.On the contrary--and more troublingly--Roman commanders deliberately used these brutal strategies to achieve their most critical military objectives and political goals.Bringing long-overdue attention to this little-known aspect of Roman history, Baker paints a fuller, albeit darker, picture of Roman warfare.He ultimately demonstrates that the atrocities of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have deep historical precedents.Casting a fresh light on the strategic use of total war in the ancient world, he reminds us that terror and mass violence could be the rational policies of men and states long before the modern age.
