Produktinformationen zu „Violence and Civilization (ePub)“
This book provides an introduction to the work of Norbert Elias. It
is the first systematic appraisal of two central themes of his
thought - violence and civilization. Although Elias is best known
for his theory of civilizing processes, this study highlights the
crucial importance of the concept of decivilizing processes.
Fletcher argues that while Elias did not develop a theory of
decivilizing processes, such a theory is logically implied in his
perspective and is highly pertinent to an understanding of the most
violent episodes of twentieth-century history, such as the Nazi
genocides.
Elias's original synthesis of sociology and psychology is
examined through an analysis of several key texts including The
Civilizing Process, The Established and the Outsiders and
The Germans. Fletcher shows how Elias constructs his
"figurational models" and applies these comparatively to specific
historical examples drawn from England and Germany.
Violence and Civilization is an excellent introduction to
Elias's work. It will appeal to students of sociology,
anthropology, and history interested in understanding the
phenomenon of violence in the modern world.
