This volume explores violent perpetration in diverse forms from an
interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. From National
Socialist perpetration in the museum, through post-terrorist life
writing to embodied performances of perpetration in cosplay, the
collection draws upon a series of historical and geographical case
studies, seen through the lens of a variety of texts, with a
particular focus on the locus of the museum as a technology of
sense making. In addition to its authored chapters, the volume
includes three contributed interviews which offer a practice-led
perspective on the topic. Through its wide-ranging approach to
violence, the volume draws attention to the contested and gendered
nature of what is constructed as 'perpetration'. With a focus on
perpetrator subjectivity or the 'perpetrator self', it proposes
that we approach perpetration as a form of 'doing'; and a 'doing'
that is bound up with the 'doing' of one's gendered identity more
broadly. The work will be of great interest to students and
scholars working on violence and perpetration in the fields of
History, Literary Studies, Area Studies, Women's and Gender
Studies, Museum Studies, Cultural Studies, International Relations
and Political Science.
