Gewalträume: Soziale Ordnungen im Ausnahmezustand

Violence is a human potential, everywhere and at all times. The authors of the volume deal with the conditions of violence from a historical and ethnological perspective. They show under which circumstances violence arises, how it spreads and how it is dynamized. It becomes clear how much violence can shape social orders and how experiences with violence change perceptions of the environment. Last but not least, the contributions also deal with the important aspect of how violence can be ended again.
