CfP: Dissecting Violence: Structures, Imaginaries, Resistance

Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis International Workshop and Conference, 4-6 April 2018. (Full details to be found at the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis.)

Violence is all around us. Our everyday practices, unwillingly and unknowingly, often support cultural, social, economic, and legal structures that cause and perpetuate physical and psychological harm. These structures, whether visible or hidden, tend to privilege certain groups of people, and dehumanise other groups. The way we conceive violence depends highly on the groups we belong to or are categorised in, and on our individual and collective experiences.
