Religiöse Gewalt in historischer Dimension

BookHardcover
EUR99,95

Product description



Was ist religiöse Gewalt? Dieser Frage gehen Geschichtswissenschaftlerinnen und Geschichtswissenschaftler erstmals konsequent mit ihren eigenen Methoden nach. Sie hinterfragen den Nutzen von Definitionen religiöser Gewalt und untersuchen die Relationen von Gewaltausübung, deren religiöse Rahmung und Legitimierung. Mit Analysen zu verschiedenen Zeiten, Kulturen und Regionen zeigen sie spezifische Merkmale von religiöser Gewalt auf. In den Beiträgen kommen bekannte Erscheinungen zur Sprache wie etwa die römischen Gladiatorenkämpfe, die Verfolgung religiöser Gruppen im Mittelalter oder der Erste Weltkrieg, aber auch bisher kaum behandelte Gewaltformen. Vor allem stellen die Autorinnen und Autoren traditionelle Annahmen infrage. Sie historisieren Begriffe und dekonstruieren Theorien. Am Ende stehen neue Fragen und methodische Anregungen für weitere Forschung eines bleibenden Problems unserer Zeit.

In the aftermath of WW1, people all over the world plotted ambitious ways to try and reform society in such a way that conflict on a global scale would never again be possible. To achieve this, they felt entirely new societal structures were required which would grow from small utopian communities.
Anna Neima takes six of these communities from around the world, handling each one in an individual chapter. Despite this broken up approach, one of the most startling aspects of this book is how much personal continuity there were between movements that spread from Japan and India to California. On top of this many of them shared an obsession with Tolstoy and his top-down approach to reform society. I was endlessy fascinated by some of the tantalising visionaries and unhinged looks behind these communities and felt Neima does a superb job in showing how these six remote communities were part of a flawed but ambitious global network.
