INTRODUKTION TIL VOLDENS ANTROPOLOGI: Fra erfaring til fællesskab

Abstract

The article positions the different anthropological

approaches to violence on a

continuum from the phenomenological to

the sociological analysis. It argues that

anthropological works on violence are

crystallized around either the experiential

aspects of violence or the phenomenon’s

ability to create, maintain and consolidate

social communities. Yet, in conclusion it

offers a perspective, which might be able

to combine the different analythical

avenues, arguing that the different points

of departure intersect as violence creates

communities of experience.
