The Routledge International Handbook of Perpetrator Studies traces
the growth of an important interdisciplinary field, its
foundations, key debates and core concerns, as well as highlighting
current and emerging issues and approaches and pointing to new
directions for enquiry. With a focus on the perpetrators of mass
killings, political violence and genocide, the handbook is
concerned with a range of issues relating to the figure of the
perpetrator, from questions of definition, typology, and conceptual
analysis, to the study of motivations and group dynamics to
questions of guilt and responsibility, as well as representation
and memory politics. Offering an overview of the field, its
essential concepts and approaches, this foundational volume
presents contemporary perspectives on longstanding debates and
recent contributions to the field that significantly expand the
theoretical, temporal, political, and geographical discussion of
perpetrators and their representation through literature, film, and
art. It points to emerging areas and future trends in the field,
thus providing scholars with ideas or encouragement for future
research activity. As such, It will appeal to scholars across a
range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology,
criminology, philosophy, memory studies, psychology, political
science, literary studies, film studies, law, cultural studies and
visual art.
