WiSe 23/24: A Global History of Violence and Genocide
Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe
Comments
The world in which we live is, unfortunately, not only a world of prosperity and peace, but also violence and genocide. In the twentieth century alone, more than 100 million people were killed or died as a result of war, genocide, and other forms of mass violence. While the Holocaust is the best-known genocide, civilians were murdered in hundreds of other violent events. In this seminar, we will discuss the concept of genocide and the meaning of violence. As a first step, we will read theoretical texts about genocide, mass violence, different forms of war and the Holocaust. Second, we will study several examples of genocides in the modern and premodern periods. We will analyze the specific nature of each and compare them to find out what unites and separates them. In this seminar, we will read theoretical texts about the concept of genocide and study the history of mass violence, war, and the Holocaust. Applying a global perspective, we will compare different forms of genocide and got to the bottom of the question what unites and separates them. close
