Terrortimes, Terrorscapes: Continuities of Space, Time, and Memory
in Twentieth-Century War and Genocide investigates interconnections
between space and violence throughout the twentieth century, and
how such connections informed collective memory. The
interdisciplinary volume shows how entangled notions of time and
space amplified by memory narratives led to continuities of
violence across different conflicts creating "terrortimes" and
"terrorscapes" in their wake. The volume examines such continuities
of violence with the help of an analytical framework built around
different themes. Its first part, spatial and temporal continuities
of violence, looks at contested spaces and ideas of national,
ethnic, or religious homogeneity that are often at the heart of
prolonged conflicts. The second part, on states and actors,
addresses the role of states as enablers of violence, asymmetric
power dynamics, and the connection between imperialism and genocide
in Africa. Imagination and emotion-the focus of the third
part-explores utopian visions and their limits that instigate or
hinder, and the mobilization of emotion through propaganda.
Finally, the fourth part shows how the recollection of the past
sometimes triggers new terrortimes. Departing from an understanding
of violence limited to certain areas and time frames, this volume
describes continuities of violence as overlapping fabrics woven
together from notions of space, time, and memory.
