Web of Violence : A Study of Family Violence
Some of the most frightening and harmful violence in modern society takes place inside the family.Wives, children, grandparents, all of them can be subject to attacks that range from mild ‘roughing up’ to assaults that leave the victim physically or psychologically crippled. What causes this violence? What sort of people are the attackers and the victims?What can we do to diminish it and to help those who suffer? Originally published in 1978, Jean Renvoize author of the highly praised Children in Danger traces the web of violence along many different strands.She covers baby battering and child abuse, violent husbands and wives, ‘granny bashing’ and incest.She looks at the psychological roots and the social patterns; she also surveys the agencies that act to prevent family violence, from social workers and those who run refuges to police and doctors.She suggests a number of positive steps that could and should be taken to improve society’s response.As in Children in Danger, she draws on many first-hand sources of information, not only professionals working in the field but also the detailed and intimate self-revelations of both victims and batterers.The first chapter – an almost unbelievable account by a girl caught up in four generations of violence, whose sufferings make her recoil from it and yet at the same time draw her inexorably deeper in, both as victim and aggressor – is the first of many case histories on which Jean Renvoize draws.Her book is an extraordinary document about humanity, as well as an essential guide for anyone who has to deal with the problems it discusses with such insight and objectivity.

Design and Violence
Design has a history of violence. It can be an act of creative destruction and a double-edged sword, and yet professional discourse around design has been dominated by voices that only trumpet its commercial and aesthetic successes.Violence, defined here as the power to alter circumstances against the will of others and to their detriment, is ubiquitous in history and in contemporary society.In recent years, moreover, technology has introduced new threats and added dramatically to the many manifestations of violence.Design and Violence is an exploration of the relationship between the two that sheds light on the complex impact of design on the built environment and on everyday life, as well as on the manifestations of violence in contemporary society.Published to accompany an online experiment launched by The Museum of Modern Art in Autumn 2013, it brings together controversial, provocative, and compelling design projects with leading voices from a variety of fields.Each invited author responds to one object chosen by the curators – ranging from an AK-47 to a Euthanasia Rollercoaster, from plastic handcuffs to the Stuxnet digital virus – and invites dialogue, comments, reflection, and active, occasionally fierce, debate.Examples of questions posed include: Can we design a violent act to be more humane?How far can the state go to ‘protect’ its borders from immigration before it becomes an act of violence?Is violence ‘male’? These experimental and wide-ranging conversations bring together voices from the fields of art and design, science, law, criminal justice, ethics, finance, journalism, and social justice, making Design and Violence an invaluable resource for lively discussions and classroom curricula.

Violence
Zizek argues that the physical violence we see is often generated by the systemic violence that sustains our political and economic systems.With the help of eminent philosophers like Marx, Engel and Lacan, as well as frequent references to popular culture, he examines the real causes of violent outbreaks like those seen in Israel and Palestine and in terrorist acts around the world.Ultimately, he warns, doing nothing is often the most violent course of action we can take.

Participating in Peace : Violence, Development and Dialogue in Colombia
What role does dialogue play in peacebuilding?

Online Othering : Exploring Digital Violence and Discrimination on the Web
This book explores the discrimination encountered and propagated by individuals in online environments.The editors develop the concept of 'online othering' as a tool through which to analyse and make sense of the myriad toxic and harmful behaviours which are being created through, or perpetuated via, the use of communication-technologies such as the internet, social media, and ‘the internet of things’.The book problematises the dichotomy assumed between real and virtual spaces by exploring the construction of online abuse, victims' experiences, resistance to online othering, and the policing of interpersonal cyber-crime.The relationship between various socio-political institutions and experiences of online hate speech are also explored. Online Othering explores the extent to which forms of information-technologies facilitate, exacerbate, and/or promote the enactment of traditional offline offences (such as domestic abuse and stalking).It focuses on the construction and perpetration of online abuse through examples such as the far-right, the alt-right and Men's Rights Activists.It also explores experiences of, and resistance to, online abuse via examples such as victims' experiences of revenge porn, online abuse and misogyny, transphobia, disability hate crime, and the ways in which online othering is intersectional.Finally, the collection addresses the role of the police and other agencies in terms of their interventions, and the regulation and governance of virtual space(s).Contributions to the volume come from fields including sociology; communication and media studies; psychology; criminology; political studies; information science and gender studies.Online Othering is one of the very first collections to explore a multitude of abuses and their relationship to information and communication technology.

Ethical Violence
Human civilization is founded on ethical principles, norms of behaviour that have accumulated over time.Perhaps the oldest of ethical principles is the rejection of violence, which includes the respect for life and for the physical and psychological integrity of others.But, in some circumstances, violence itself can be regarded as ethical – for example, when it is used by states claiming to act in self-defence.In these circumstances, the need to defend oneself against an enemy can transform war from an unacceptable act into a necessary, socially shared and morally sanctioned choice. And it is when violence becomes ethical that we must begin to fear for our future. In the wake of the pandemic, we are witnessing the growing prevalence of aggression and emotionality in social and political life.We find ourselves living in an increasingly impatient and insecure society, which is sceptical of scientific thought and which takes refuge in the irrational.The decline of rationality and the growing prevalence of violence are increasingly common features of a society that has lost touch with the great Enlightenment narrative.We need, argues Bordoni, to rediscover the rationality we have lost and recuperate the positive side of technology.

Doesn't violence belong to the development of a person?
Violence does not inherently belong to the development of a person. While some individuals may experience or witness violence in their lives, it is not a necessary or positive aspect of personal growth. Healthy development involves learning empathy, communication skills, conflict resolution, and non-violent ways of expressing emotions. Encouraging peaceful and respectful interactions can lead to a more well-rounded and emotionally intelligent individual.
