Violence a new approach

Violence is an ever-present phenomenon - obstinately resistant to interpretation. This text offers new tools to understand and analyze violence, presenting a new approach based on the subjectivity of the actor, and on the relation between violence and meaning. The first section discusses violence and conflict, violence and the state, and violence and the media. This provides critical context for developing a new paradigm - in the second section - that gives more importance to the concept of the subject than more classical paradigms.

  • "Violence is an ever-present phenomenon - obstinately resistant to interpretation. This text offers new tools to understand and analyze violence, presenting a new approach based on the subjectivity of the actor, and on the relation between violence and meaning. The first section discusses violence and conflict, violence and the state, and violence and the media. This provides critical context for developing a new paradigm - in the second section - that gives more importance to the concept of the subject than more classical paradigms. The text distinguishes different possible relations between the meaning of action and violence and proposes a new typology of the subjects involved in violence. It gives particular emphasis to discussing cruelty, violence for violence sake, and 'pure' violence. The relationship between conflict and violence; the place of victims, and the role of the media all shape new forms of violence. This text is an engaged response to these new forms that presents a convincing interpretation and new tools that will be essential for researchers in the social sciences."
  • "Dans son étude sociologique et anthropologique sur la violence, l'auteur aborde trois points essentiels : l'élargissement de l'espace de la violence en l'absence de conflit institutionnalisé, son étude hors du cadre national qui devient à la fois locale et mondiale, la consolidation de la figure de la victime."
  • "Comment comprendre la violence ? La plupart des explications disponibles, tant en sociologie qu'en anthropologie ou en sciences politiques, sont souvent réductrices, tant la violence combine des aspects différents, depuis la violence fondatrice jusqu'à la violence gratuite de l'extrême cruauté. Dans ce livre, Michel Wieviorka tente de proposer une vision d'ensemble, qui ne laisse de côté aucun des traits de la violence et la resitue dans sa véritable dimension : manifestation d'une fêlure, voire d'une fracture du sujet, dans les moments où le sens se dérobe."
