SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2021] Historical Violence: Contesting a Heterogenous Concept and Practice
DESCRIPTION:„Violence“, even more so than other concepts, seems to elude straightforward definitions. The panel aims to seize on this conceptual heterogeneity by inquiring into the interpretative struggles that accompanied the history of violence in the 19th and 20th centuries. We argue that these often broke down into binarisms such as public/private, legitimate/illegitimate, political/criminal. Our case studies span the period from the late 19th to the late 20th century, comprise different political spaces and systems and focus on state actors, paramilitary groups and activists of civil society. We address the following questions: How was violence conceptualized, expressed and circumscribed? Which media and discursive strategies did actors employ? How did different political conditions and forms of state influence the concept and practice of violence? Are there continuities across longer periods and how may these be explained? We aim to connect these questions to several historiographical debates of recent years, such as those on the significance of communications and medialization for modern practices of violence, on the degree of internal pacification in turn-of-the-century Europe, on the significance of violence for colonial conquest and rule, and on the legacy of experiences of violence after the Second World War.
