Violence. An International Journal is launching a call for papers on the theme “Perpetrating Violence”. This theme section will be coordinated by Sabrina MELENOTTE (Violence and Exiting Violence Platform, Foundation Maison des sciences de l’homme).
Violence, in all its forms, today constitutes a vast field of research in sociology, and in the social sciences. But the same is not true of preventing and exiting violence, which do not have their own well-structured space within the humanities. Much more empirical than theoretical, understanding of these issues is produced more by actors (NGOs, associations), experts, and practitioners than by social science scholars.
The International Panel on Exiting Violence present its results at the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) at the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon.

At the heart of a therapeutic process lies the temporality of healing, an expectation of, at least, a minimum of measurable improvement. What if, however, the trajectory of a life, or suffering, fail to move along this anticipation of a cure? Chronic pain, terminal, and life-long illnesses are part of a spectrum that challenges conventional medicine.

One year after the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), this colloquium wants to cross-reference post-conflict experiences in Colombia, Latin America and other parts of the world.
The main topics will be peace processes and their follow-up, emergence of new violences, transitional justice, social movements and cultural creations linked to exiting violence, and relations between memory and History.
