The turn to the nonhuman in the humanities and social sciences has
arguably been mobilized through a washing away of political
violence, its histories, and its traces. Reverberations aims to
redress this problem by methodologically and conceptually placing
political violence and nonhuman entities side by side. The volume
generates a new framework for the study of political violence and
its protracted aftermath by attending, through innovative
ethnographic and historical studies, to its distribution,
extension, and endurance across time, space, materialities, and
otherworldly dimensions, as well as its embodiment in
subjectivities, discourses, and imaginations. Collectively, in the
study of political violence, the contributions focus on human
agencies and experiences in engagement with nonhuman entities such
as objects, land, fields, houses, buildings, treasures, trees,
spirits, saints, and prophets. In a variety of contexts, the
scholars herein ask the crucial question: What can be learned about
political violence by analyzing it in the terrain of relationality
between human beings and nonhuman entities? How are things such as
objects, spaces, natural phenomena, or spiritual beings entwined in
histories of political violence? And vice versa-how are histories
of political violence implicated in nonhuman things?
