Violence, crisis, and the everyday / Das, Veena   Journal Article
Das, Veena Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract An important issue in considering violence at both the conceptual and empirical levels is the question of what counts as "violence" and how it is acknowledged. In many polities of the Middle East, including Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan, there is no clear boundary between war and peace. Conflicts have lasted over a long period and even the project of securing a future in which the struggle for decolonization and political autonomy can be kept alive faces enormous hurdles as everyday life is corroded by betrayals, accusations, and the sheer exhaustion of keeping political energies from waning. Most acute observers of prolonged conflicts recognize the corrosive effects of these conflicts on everyday life. In this brief thought piece, I want to reflect on one aspect of the problem: that of the relation between sexual violence as an aspect of dramatic and spectacular violence-in wars (including modern ones), pogroms against ethnic or religious minorities, or episodes of lethal riots between sectarian groups-and everyday forms of sexual violence that could be both part of the public domain and constitutive of domestic intimacy. Said otherwise, I am interested in how experience of violence travels from one threshold of life to another.
