Violence Studies

Buch

This volume opens out the field of violence studies with a focus on its myriad habitations and experiences in India. It interrogates the numerous ways in which omnipresent violence is interpreted and represented, and delves into the interconnections between the identifiable normative axes of power and the engendering of violence. It aims towards a coherent and more nuanced understanding of violence that moves beyond the episodic to the systemic, structural levels ofsociety and consciousness.
