Violence Expressed explores the diverse expressions and
manifestations through which the meaning of violent experiences and
events is (re)produced. As language alone does not always suffice
for the description of violence, this book focuses not only on the
verbal and discursive expressions of violence, but also on the
performative acts, material culture and the spaces that constitute
these expressions. Such an approach provides a method of more
comprehensively registering and understanding the manifestations
and long-lasting effects of violence, whilst exploring violence
both as an extreme subjective experience, and the 'ultimate truth',
thus overcoming a common epistemological antagonism in researching
violence. Offering a variety of analytical approaches and
methodological perspectives, Violence Expressed presents the latest
empirical studies, ranging from the 'everyday' violence experienced
by children, stories of rape, social memory and the discrepancy
between private and public narratives, to rumours and silences or
the iconography of violence. A compelling contribution to ongoing
discussions on anthropological writing, this book will be of
interest to anthropologists and social scientists working on
violence, gender, collective representations and memory.
