  Ruminations on Violence

  Derek Pardue

  Violence pervades humanity as experience

  public policy

  narrative

  and mediated commodity. The goal of Ruminations on Violence is to discuss and analyze various contours of violence as it is made manifest around the world. This foundational collection of essays

  stories

  and poems represent a wide variety of disciplines and perspectives. The unifying theme is that violence is not a thing

  but rather a dynamic force occurring among separate

  conscious minds that is enhanced by the careful scrutiny of social science. This multifaceted anthology is both applied and theoretical in its approach

  containing cross-cultural case studies and personal testimonies as well as impressionistic essays and theoretical statements on violence as a powerful discourse. The layout is thematic

  moving from conventional anthropological and sociological issues of state-sponsored

  ethnic

  and domestic violence to media studies and popular-culture fields concerning the aesthetics and narration of violence. This uniquely eclectic viewpoint offers the reader interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives that will help them to understand the difficult issues surrounding the complex phenomenon that is violence.
