First Colloquium: Violence, Actors, Culture and Enemies of the State
24 and June 25, 2011
In the social sciences , conceptual violence often referred to acts of physical force, verbal or psychological, but its manifestation in each one of the events are usually different from each other, verbigracia war, coups during sex, violence against children, etc.. The definition of violence is in crisis, like many others in the social sciences, because while empirical demonstrations have saturated society, or at least have become more noticeable significance due to multiple media, the concept and definition , remains surprisingly unmoved. This leads to a certain dilemma, keep calling violence to acts whose characteristics do not contain many similarities, and that sometimes there is not a critical position on them or otherwise call for violent acts which have gained importance and visibility today. We do not know how to call the violence while use of a concept of violence, but do not want to fall into a Platonist or essentialist position of science.
The argument that in recent years have proliferated in every culture there is violence, often seems plausible and convincing, but you may need to be tempered a bit since, since, if in principle we have a philosophical problem and call epistemic violence the many empirical examples with a certain similarity, we do not know if indeed they are, has led us to become critical of the scientific knowledge that produce social scientists. Although are not enough researchers in the world and we can not realize that there is indeed violence in all cultures, the budget can motivate metatheoretical reflection of how far you can meet to account for the production of violence in the specific cultures, generated by the differences and economic inequalities, social, political, ethnic and cultural.
