Qu'elle soit verbale, gestuelle ou intellectuelle, la violence interpelle. Hier comme aujourd hui, elle reste un enjeu majeur et une préoccupation quotidienne de l ensemble des acteurs sociaux et politiques tout comme des professionnels du droit. Pourtant, ce paradigme de violence, polysémique, d une définition souvent floue, s avère d une analyse difficile et nécessite une approche plurielle, capable d interroger à la fois la société, la religion, le droit et la politique, en Europe et dans le reste du monde, du Moyen Âge au xxe siècle. En adoptant cette méthode, qui autorise une lecture à variable multiple des formes de la violence, les vingt-neuf chercheurs ici réunis proposent des interprétations, des hypothèses et des résultats stimulants et fructueux, dans des champs aussi divers que ceux de l histoire, de l histoire de l art, de la gender history, de la littérature, de l histoire des idées et de l anthropologie. Les études rassemblées dans ce volume prêtent une attention toute particulière aux cas singuliers et collectifs, ainsi qu à l acteur face au « système » existant (social, politique, religieux, économique), en mesure de saisir réellement ce phénomène pluriel sur un plan à la fois diachronique et synchronique. Aussi la violence, dans ses configurations multiples, dévoile-t-elle les réponses données par les autorités religieuses et laïques , la famille, la parenté, le voisinage, la communauté, les intellectuels, les artistes, les compositeurs entre le Moyen Âge et l époque contemporaine.

Barbarians are back. These small, highly mobile, and stateless groups are no longer confined to the pages of history; they are a contemporary reality in groups such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIL. This book re-examines the threat of violent non-state actors throughout history, revealing key lessons that are applicable today. From the Roman Empire and its barbarian challenge on the Danube and Rhine, Russia and the steppes to the nineteenth-century Comanches, the author shows how these groups have presented peculiar, long-term problems that could rarely be solved with a finite war or clearly demarcated diplomacy. To succeed and survive, states were often forced to alter their own internal structure, giving greater power and responsibility to the communities most directly affected by the barbarian menace. Understanding the barbarian challenge, and strategies employed to confront it, this book offers new insights into the contemporary security threats facing the Western world.

Global Race War explores the racial foundations of global politics from the Haitian Revolution to the present. Alexander D. Barder traces the emergence of this global racial hierarchy from the early 19th century to the present to explain how a historical racial global order unraveled over the first half of the 20th century, continued during the Cold War, and reemerged during the Global War on Terror. As Barder shows, imperial, racial, and geopolitical orders intersected over time in ways that violently tore apart the imperial and sovereign state system and continue to haunt politics today.
