{"product_id":"violence-david-wsterfors-9781032204383","title":"Violence: Situation, Speciality, Politics, and Storytelling","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book considers how the concept of violence has been interpreted, used, defined, and explored by social researchers and thinkers. It does not provide a final answer to the question of what violence is or how it should be explained (or prevented), and instead offers a variety of useful ways of thinking about and theorising the phenomenon, mainly from a sociological standpoint. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt outlines four ways of understanding violence: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Violence as situation: the tension that exists between category-driven and situational explanations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Violence as speciality: the study of particularly violent actors, and how they may be understood by reference to childhood histories, technologies, institutions, culture, class, and gender. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Violence as politics: political violence and violent politics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Violence as storytelling: representations of violence from a narrative perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConcluding with reflections on possible convergences between the four approaches and new directions for research, this book offers a unique and experimental approach to discussing and reconstructing the concept of violence. It is essential reading for criminologists, sociologists, and philosophers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David W舖terfors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032204389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032204383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"David W舖terfors","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070919373055,"sku":"9781032204383","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3ac0df6-d9d4-406b-8d5b-bb713e15ef91.jpg?v=1685433100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-david-wsterfors-9781032204383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
