| Popis | Our approach is situated between a phenomenology of violence, that is prominent in recent approaches in the phenomenology of violence and a constructivist perspective that takes the social attribution of violence serious. Instead of adopting a pedagogical attitude towards the alleged increase of violence we try to get a grasp on the consciousness of perpetrators. This neglected perspective we try to develop by a synthesis of the works of Georges Bataille and Victor Turner. The paper aims to confront the sociology of violence according to Bataille and Turner with empirical phenomena of violence such as school shootings, torture and hooliganism. Starting with the autistic violence of school shootings to the escalating violence of torture and the collective violence of hooligans we show the usefulness as well as the limits of Bataille's and Turner's theories for the sociology of violence. |
