Non-Violence : A History Beyond the Myth
We know of the blood and tears provoked by the projects of transformation of the world through war or revolution.Starting from the essay published in 1921 by Walter Benjamin, twentieth century philosophy has been committed to the criticism of violence, even when it has claimed to follow noble ends.But what do we know of the dilemmas, of the “betrayals,” of the disappointments and tragedies which the movement of non-violence has suffered?This book tells a fascinating history: from the American Christian organizations in the first decades of the nineteenth century who wanted to eliminate slavery and war in a non-violent way, to the protagonists of movements—Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Capitini, M.L. King, the Dalai Lama—who either for idealism or for political calculation flew the flag of non-violence, up to the leaders of today’s “color revolutions.”

Does classical music turn violence into art?
Classical music does not inherently turn violence into art. While classical music can be used to convey emotions and tell stories, it does not necessarily glorify or romanticize violence. Instead, classical music has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions and can be used to express the human experience, including the darker aspects of life. It is up to the composer and the listener to interpret the music in a way that reflects their own perspective on violence and art.

Familiar Violence : A History of Child Abuse
Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood.Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them.This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it.Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness, and cruelty.However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context.Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong.This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

A Global History of Early Modern Violence
This is the first extensive analysis of large-scale violence and the methods of its restraint in the early modern world.Using examples from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe, it questions the established narrative that violence was only curbed through the rise of western-style nation states and civil societies.Global history allows us to reframe and challenge traditional models for the history of violence and to rethink categories and units of analysis through comparisons.By decentring Europe and exploring alternative patterns of violence, the contributors to this volume articulate the significance of violence in narratives of state- and empire-building, as well as in their failure and decline, while also providing new means of tracing the transition from the early modern to modernity.
