Abstract

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. How do victims and perpetrators generate conflicting knowledge about genocide? Using a sociology of knowledge approach, Savelsberg answers this question for the Armenian genocide committed in the context of the First World War. Focusing on Armenians and Turks, he examines strategies of silencing, denial, and acknowledgment in everyday interaction, public rituals, law, and politics. Drawing on interviews, ethnographic accounts, documents, and eyewitness testimony, Savelsberg illuminates the social processes that drive dueling versions of history. He reveals counterproductive consequences of denial in an age of human rights hegemony, with implications for populist disinformation campaigns against overwhelming evidence.

Abstract

This book is a comprehensive presentation of humanitarian intervention in theory and practice during the course of the nineteenth century. Through four case studies, it sheds new light on the international law debate and the political theory on intervention, linking them to ongoing issues, and paying particular attention to the lesser known Russian dimension.The book begins by tracing the genealogy of the idea of humanitarian intervention to the Renaissance, evaluating the Eurocentric gaze of the civilisation-barbarity dichotomy, and elucidates the international legal arguments of both advocates and opponents of intervention, as well as the views of major political theorists. It then goes on to examine four cases as humanitarian interventions: the Greek War of Independence (1821-31), the Lebanon and Syria (1860-61), the Bulgarian atrocities (1876-78), and the U.S. intervention in Cuba (1895-98).

Abstract

Esta obra examina las potencialidades y limitaciones del concepto de lo político de Carl Schmitt a la hora de acercarse a las lógicas de guerra y conflicto presentes en la masacre efectuada por los paramilitares en contra de las mujeres wayuu de Bahía Portete, en la Guajira colombiana. Por una parte, la teoría de Schmitt resulta provechosa a la hora de dar cuenta de violencias y enemistades que definieron el carácter del conflicto entre paramilitares y wayuu, y en este sentido, el diálogo que se entabla entre el caso y la teoría abre nuevas perspectivas para abordar lo sucedido en Bahía Portete. Pero, por otro lado, los conceptos de Schmitt se quedan cortos en el momento de dar cuenta de lógicas de violencia extrema, en particular, aquellas relacionadas con la sexualidad.

Abstract

Der Band behandelt in einem transdisziplinären Ansatz verschiedene Aspekte der Zerstörung der Grabeskirche zu Jerusalem am 28. September 1009 auf Befehl des fatimidischen Kalifen al-Hakim in ihrem historischen Kontext. Es werden die ideologischen Ursachen und die Folgen beleuchtet und das Bauwerk selbst näher untersucht. Arabisten, Byzantinisten, Judaisten, Mediävisten, Kunsthistoriker, Orientalisten sowie Vertreter der Nordistik liefern Beiträge zu einem fachübergreifenden Diskurs. Dabei gerät zum einen das Verbindende und Gemeinsame der verschiedenen Religionen und Kulturen zunächst stärker in den Blick als die Trennlinien und Unterschiede. So waren etwa bei den christlichen Feierlichkeiten in der Grabeskirche zu Jerusalem auch zahlreiche Muslime anwesend, war die Mutter des Kalifen selbst eine Christin und wurde die Kirche nach ihrer Zerstörung von der fatimidischen Regentin Sitt al-Mulk wieder aufgebaut. Zum anderen aber wurden die Ereignisse zum Auslöser von Judenpogromen in Westeuropa, und sie begünstigten die Entstehung der Kreuzzugsideologie. Damit vertieften sie letztlich die Gräben zwischen den verschiedenen Religionen und Kulturen.

Abstract

After Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, executed a staggering number of political prisoners in Western Ukraine-somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000-in the space of eight days, in one of the greatest atrocities perpetrated by the Soviet state. Yet the Great West Ukrainian Prison Massacre of 1941 is largely unknown. This sourcebook aims to change that, offering detailed scholarly analysis, eyewitness testimonies and profiles of known victims, and a selection of fiction, memoirs, and poetry that testifies to the lasting impact of the massacre in the collective memory of Ukrainians.

Abstract

"In the early months of the German occupation during WWII, many of Europe's major cities witnessed anti-Jewish riots, anti-Semitic incidents, and even pogroms carried out by the local population. Who took part in these excesses, and what was their attitude towards the Germans? Were they guided or spontaneous? What part did the Germans play in these events and how did they manipulate them for their own benefit? Delving into the source material for Warsaw, Paris, The Hague, Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Kaunas, this study is the first to take a comparative look at these questions. Looking closely at events many would like to forget, the volume describes various characters and their stories, revealing some striking similarities and telling differences, while raising tantalising questions"--
