Chers amis lecteurs. Mes doigts ne peuvent se tenir loin du clavier et mon esprit n'arrive plus à retenir ce besoin de dire. Est coupable de collusion quiconque choisit de se taire, se cloîtrer dans l'acceptation d'un statuquo contraire aux desiderata du Père fondateur de la patrie. Un éminent collègue me qualifiait de scalpel du journal Le Nouvelliste ! Aujourd'hui, coeur bien accroché et viscères endurcis, je m'évertue encore à labourer les plaines des consciences, ensemencer les champs abandonnés et diriger les eaux pour, qu'une fois de plus, Hayti de tous les impossibles puisse étonner le Monde !

Neste ensaio, desenvolvo o tema da cultura como o educador, e como o motivador e como legitimizador do mal que nós fazemos em nome do bem. A cultura fornece as estruturas da plausibilidade para este suporte essencial da violência coletiva, mas a cultura não é o agente do massacre; somos nós como agentes sociais que fornecem as sustentações diárias, proximal para a orquestração da violência coletiva. Nós recompensamos e nós punimos aqueles que atuam conosco ou de encontro a nós ou que porsi, desse modo motivando-se para atuar de acordo com as estruturas de plausibilidade. A cultura propõe; o homem (geralmente) dispõe.

This paper critically analyzes the Belarusian Genocide Trials of 2025, examining ongoing efforts to prosecute historical genocide crimes through the framework of Michael Cunningham's Theory of Educide. Cunningham's 2023 Master Thesis from the AGBU Armenian Virtual College defines Educide as the deliberate destruction of educational and cultural systems as a tool of genocide, encompassing five core principles: 1) Intentional targeting of educational institutions to disrupt societal foundations; 2) Erasure of cultural and historical knowledge to eliminate group identity; 3) Suppression of language, curricula, and intellectual discourse to enforce dominance; 4) Elimination of educators, intellectuals, and knowledge bearers as primary targets; and 5) Long-term societal disintegration, leading to intergenerational trauma and weakened resilience. Applying this theory to the Belarusian context, this analysis explores the relevance of historical trials for contemporary justice, Belarus's leadership in genocide prosecutions, and key lessons learned. Drawing on primary sources such as Cunningham's thesis, UN reports, and legal case studies, the paper argues that addressing Educide in modern trials is essential for preventing future atrocities and fostering global accountability. This work contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in international law, genocide studies, and education policy, emphasizing the enduring impact of Educide on societies like Belarus.

El objeto de estudio lo constituyen los linchamientos, como campos sociales de alta tension, en donde se producen acciones con agresividad y con violencia por grupos, reunidos circunstancialmente (en forma abrupta), con el proposito de aplicar castigo por mano propia, ante la existencia o aprehension de un sujeto considerado responsable de un acto delictivo, que en la mayoria de los casos es el robo (el acto del supuesto delincuente pudo haberse ejecutado en presencia de alguno de los participantes o porque los mismos lo consideran responsable de uno ilegal conocido, realizado recientemente en la localidad), a quien en algunos casos, en juicio sumario o sin mas se considera culpable, aprehende y se le aplican todas las vejaciones posibles hasta causarle la muerte y en algunos casos quemarlo. Como operacion inicial de la investigacion se delimito el tema (la violencia politica y la violencia colectiva), de este campo, se ubico un subtema (la violencia colectiva despues de la firma de...

The position of suicide in the world has hitherto remained a controversial one not only in terms of its moral permissibility but also in the process of explicating its nature, causes and its effect in the society. On the one hand, the religious wing and other philosophers like Kant have reflected on the subject with outright condemnation and considered it a sin, a crime or both, the Enlightenment thinkers on the other hand, especially those who wrote on the subject like Rousseau among others, agreed that the religious condemnation of suicide was not only preposterous but also entirely lacking in charity. Emile Durkheim was the first to offer a systematic scientific study on suicide which pieced through the moral indignation and philosophical defenses surrounding it. Like other French scholars, he established his argument by elimination that is, rejecting the negative phase of his argument: excluding psychopathic states, race, heredity, and climatic factors from the line of causation on the basis of statistical and other data, such that only social factors remain. Having described the nature and influence of social integration in family, religion, and political domains, Durkheim concluded from his empirical analyses that suicide is a new fact sui generis, with its own unity, individuality and consequently its own nature-a nature, furthermore, dominantly social. This research work offers a critique of Durkheim's theory on suicide and argues that for a holistic explication of the nature and causes of suicide, an all-inclusive approach such as philosophical, psychological and sociological approach, is needed.

El presente trabajo se ocupa de analizar la relación existente entre los mapuches y el Estado chileno. Para ello, la investigación se divide en tres partes. Primero, la historia del despojo que sufrieron los mapuches a partir de la independencia de Chile, debido a la priorización de la unidad nacional por parte de los organismos estatales. Segundo, la evolución del tratamiento del Estado chileno en relación con este pueblo indígena, que transitó de la usurpación al multiculturalismo neoliberal. Por último, la configuración de la identidad sociocultural mapuche ante las amenazas colonialistas sobre la base de dos baluartes, el territorio y la autonomía. Esto ha acabado impactando en el tipo de representación que tienen actualmente con los partidos políticos y las instituciones chilenas. En consecuencia, la cuestión de la representación mapuche queda lejos de resolverse.

L’icône de Kaftoun (milieu-troisième quart du XIIIe siècle), qui est un panneau biface avec la représentation de la Vierge Hodogitria (Conductrice) sur un côté et le baptême sur l’autre, souligne la nature humaine de Jésus, comme elle insiste sur la nature divine. De ce fait l’icône affirme l’union hypostatique des deux natures de Jésus. Le panneau qui était porté en procession le jour de l’épiphanie de telle sorte que la face avec l’image de la Vierge, à qui était dédié le monastère, était dirigée vers l’avant alors que l’image du baptême était face aux fidèles. Tout ceci témoigne de la fonction liturgique de l’icône.

For critical legal scholars, the ongoing far-right assault upon the liberal status quo poses a distinct dilemma. On the one hand, the desire to condemn the far-right is overwhelming. On the other hand, such condemnations are susceptible to being appropriated as a validation of the very liberalism that critical theorists have long questioned. In seeking to transcend this dilemma, my focus is on the discourse of 'white genocide'-a commonplace belief amongst the far-right/white nationalists that 'whites', as a discrete group, are facing demographic destruction as a result of deliberate policy choices. Such a belief has motivated acts of extreme violence. While libel to dismissal by experts on mainstream understandings of genocide, namely international criminal lawyers, I argue that this 'white genocide' discourse deserves careful scrutiny as a jurisprudential and socio-legal phenomenon that reveals key weaknesses in present modalities of liberal justification. Drawing upon an array of recent critical theories, I show how a liberalism unable to face its own decline enables the very far-right assertions it purports to oppose. Thus, given liberalism's failure to act as a neutral arbiter, an alternative approach for those opposing the far-right is to develop a vision of politics and society that confront believers in 'white genocide' on a more substantive level. This, I argue, forces the far-right's opponents to disavow liberal scepticism towards utopian transformation as well as the juridical understandings and institutions that allow this scepticism to durably persist.

How do moral beliefs influence favorability to collective violence? In this article, I argue that, first, moral beliefs are influential depending on their salience, as harm avoidance is a common moral concern. The more accessible moral beliefs in decision-making, the more they restrain harmful behavior. Second, moral beliefs are influential depending on their content. Grouporiented moral beliefs can overturn the harm avoidance principle and motivate individuals to favor collective violence. Analysis is based on a representative survey in Mexico City and focuses on a proximate form of collective violence, locally called lynching. Findings support both logics of moral influence. Experimentally induced moral salience reduces favorability to lynching, and group-oriented moral beliefs are related to more favorability. Against existing theories that downplay the relevance of morality and present it as cheap talk, these findings demonstrate how moral beliefs can both restrain and motivate collective violence.

21. yüzyıl Türkiyesi’nde hem amaç hem de araç olarak kullanılan, toplumsal, siyasal ve kültürel yaşamın her alanına etki eden ‘devlet bekası’ kavramı (ya da ‘beka söylemi’) Cumhuriyet tarihinde süreklilik gösteren en temel iktidar retoriklerinin başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, yakın dönem Türkiye siyasi ve toplumsal hayatını oldukça ilgilendiren devlet bekası kavramının sosyo-psikolojik arka planına ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda devlet bekası kavramının fiziksel ve ontolojik yapı taşlarının Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan miras kaldığı öne sürülmektedir. Bununla
beraber Osmanlı’nın çöküş döneminde yaşanan kitlesel şiddet, tarihsel korku ve travmaların, genç Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde devlet bekası anlayışının çok daha sert bir biçimde yeniden kurgulanmasına neden olduğu iddia edilmektedir. Bu noktadan hareket eden çalışma iki temel saptamaya varmaktadır: Birincisi, Türkiye’de beka, yani ‘devletin hayatta kalma’ yaklaşımı, kendini yeniden üreten kolektif endişe, korku ve
umutsuzluklar karşısında kronik bir ‘güvensizlik kompleksine’ dönüşmüştür. Bu bağlamda beka söylemi bir güvenlik arayışından ziyade hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik olarak güvensizliğin dışa vurumunu simgelemektedir. İkinci olarak da devlet bekası kavramı tarihsel süreç içinde devletin ‘hâkim siyasi yol haritası’ olmaya doğru evrilmiştir ve toplumsal anlamda rıza üretme araçlarının en temel söylemi haline gelmiştir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında toplumun kolektif hafızası kahir ekseriyetiyle ‘demokratikleşme’ veya ‘özgürlükler’ olgularından ziyade ‘güvenlik’ ve ‘endişe’ olguları üzerinden devlet eliyle şekillendirilmiştir. Bu makale beka söylemini hem kavramsal hem de tarihsel olarak inceleyecek ve Osmanlı son dönemi, erken Cumhuriyet ve kısmen de günümüz Türkiyesi arasındaki sürekliliği ortaya koyacaktır. Bu bağlantıların ışığında makale, bekayı siyasi rejimlerin ana hatlarını belirleyen ve rejimler arası geçişte köprü niteliği taşıyan ‘organik bir kara kutu’ olarak tasvir edecektir. Öyle ki Türkiye siyasetindeki beka kodları, tarih boyunca çeşitli güç merkezleri tarafından araçsallaştırılarak adeta sömürülmüş ve zaman içinde ülkenin demokratik gelişimini engelleyen yapısal bir soruna dönüşmüştür. Söylem analizi ve tarihsel analiz yöntemlerini harmanlayan makale, beka söyleminin evrimini incelerken 1806-1812 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’na kadar geriye gidiyor ve bu savaşla birlikte başlayan şiddet sarmalının izini sürüyor.

Research shows that the onset and recurrence of armed conflict is likely where high inter-group inequalities exist. Groups that have strong shared identities, a collective perception of ill treatment, and opportunities to take up arms are likely to use violence to rectify existing inequalities. Policy makers can take concrete steps to reduce group-level inequalities through measures that share political and economic power between groups, ensure the fair distribution of public goods and services, and recognize cultural identities.

2024, Past, Present, Future 2024. Rituals, Ceremonies, and Symbols in the Middle Ages. Croatia and the European Context (800-1600)

Scholars such as Edward Muir, Natalie Zemon Davis, Jacques Heers, or Patrick Lantschner, just to single out a few of them, have contributed to a vast field of research about collective violence in the medieval or early modern historical context. Violence has been considered not just in its physical manifestations of havoc and destruction, but also as an efficient tool for projecting certain symbolic messages – in which the act of violence serves as a ritualistic medium. This presentation hopes to explore the ritualistic and symbolic aspects of collective violence based upon selected cases from the history of the Late Medieval Dalmatian Towns. More precisely, the paper will consider the potential meanings that stem behind cases of political violence in Zadar and Split in the 14th century. The paper also aims to consider the latter cases within a wider comparative framework of the Eastern Adriatic, in relation to the culturally close historical context of the Italian communes.

Although the second year of operation of the Visitors Centre Mušov – Gateway to the Roman Empire was again affected by the pandemic in the Czech Republic, it still managed to attract over 6,000 visitors. The majority came from the South Moravian Region, where the centre is located and thus conveniently and attractively complements the rich range of archaeological heritage presentations there. The highlight of the 2021 programme was the Germania Subacta festival held in September, where over 100 members of Roman and barbarian re-enactment groups performed for the audience. This is not forgetting the smaller presentations, lectures and guided tours of both the Visitors Centre
and the Hradisko near Mušov archaeological site, which were also a successful part of the 2021 programme.

SUBALTERNITY AND COLLECTIVE VIOLENCE IN MEXICO AND GUATEMALA This article presents the lynching as a collective violence phenomenon. It takes as exposition axis the events that took place in the locality of San Juan Ixtayopan, Tláhuac, in México City, where three policemen were lynched in November 2004. Those incidents were neither the first ones nor the last, but they produce a strong impact in national and international public opinion and are compared with the Japanese tourist lynching occurred in Todos Santos Cuchumatán, Guatemala, in April 2000. This way it is proposed an interpretation as of the subalternity-since it is impugn a disadvantageous order-through the analysis of the proper narrations.

The article addresses dimensions related to the occurrences of collective violence in Brazil in post-June 2013-notably the lynching, looting, and "quebra-quebras". Bearing in mind the ruptures and continuities of this group of collective actions with previous moments, we argue that this is a central process in understanding the openings of June 2013. This violent repertoire will be analyzed based on a database of news published between 2010 and 2018 in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper about these collective actions and a dialogue with the bibliographic production on the theme. The analysis, therefore, aims to scrutinize a period of political rearticulation that is concomitant to the increase in conflict in the streets. As a result, we propose a contribution to the literature of innovations in social movements, because given their oscillating characteristics between resistance and reinforcement of capitalism, these practices reveal ambiguities and disputes in course in contemporary Brazil.

In this essay we assess Patrick Mureithi’s (2009) documentary, ICYIZERE, as a document of collective memory (Blair, Dickinson, and Ott, 2010, p. 6).[1] Focusing on the power of memory in/of place, we argue that the local and national sites of atrocity and healing between perpetrators and survivors of the Rwandan genocide (i.e., a site of violence as well as the site of the reconciliatory workshop between Hutus and Tutsis in the film) serve as a sacred ground for healing and that this sacred ground is produced through negotiations of (dialectical) tensions between past and present and individual memory and collective memory. Additionally, we assert that the interplay between memory in/of place and (re)presentations of rehumanization within the workshop of the documentary situates a newly unified space to (re)interpret the Other. We analyze rehumanizaton processes in the documentary via identity widening theory (Ellis, 2006)[2] and through representations grounded in empathetic human ...

A lthough social relationships and social support are salient factors for postwar adolescents' psychosocial coping and adjustment, there is only limited information regarding war-affected adolescents' views on social support and the relationships within which social support is provided. This study therefore explored both elements among a clinical sample of 20 adolescents living in postwar Northern Uganda. Following Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis, we found a prominent role of the biological mother and other primary biological family members in the upbringing of our participants. Spiritual and material support were perceived to be the most important type of support, respectively, while the adolescents were growing up and in their current lives. These findings provide support for the perception that caregiving systems are adaptable to particular sociocultural contexts. Further, the importance of particular functions of social support could signify a potentially selective buffering effect of these functions in adverse contexts. Because of the importance of the primary biological family and the salient role of parent-child relationships in the face of adversity, future research needs to focus on this particular kind of social relationship in contexts of prolonged collective violence.

After the end of the First World War and the dissolution of the liberal Austro-Hungarian Empire that it brought along, a short-lived bourgeois radical government took leadership in the newly independent Republic of Hungary before the bloody communist putsch of March 1919. An invading Romanian army soon put an end to Béla Kun's Communist Council Republic, only to be ousted by the Entente and give place to the counter-revolutionary forces of Miklós Horthy. All this happened in a little more than a year, and understandably Hungary was in a chaotic situation: depending the historical narrative inspected, the subsequent settling of political scores was either called 'punishment of the unpatriotic revolutionaries' or 'murderous persecution of progressive elements'.

, the Tolna County police arrested an agricultural worker from Kurd: the then 49-year-old József Apaczeller was accused of war crimes committed during the campaign against the Soviet Union in 1942, while still a soldier in the Hungarian Royal Army. By that time, war crime trials were rare in Hungary. According to the historical literature, the last such trial that of the Arrow Cross murderers of Zugló in 1967, but the case we are scrutinizing here is from three years later. Apaczeller was born on 26 September 1920 in Kurd, in a simple, landless peasant family of German origin. He completed six grades of elementary school and then worked as a day labourer, finding work abroad on several occasions. His family was destitute. In the autumn of 1941, he enlisted in the 104/7 labour service company (labour service was a humiliating, unarmed military service for Jewish men, introduced in Hungary in 1939). In such companies, Jewish men were accompanied by Hungarian soldiers, who were members of special units and called 'keretlegények'. In this company, about 200 Jews

This article analyzes the proclamation of Antiochus III concerning the temple and city of Jerusalem, quoted in Ant. 12.145–46, in light of three sets of evidence: Greek comparative materials from the broader Mediterranean world; biblical and Second Temple writings; and archaeological remains from Hellenistic Jerusalem, especially those that attest to the presence of non-sacrificial animals in the city. The evidence suggests that Ant. 12.145–46 preserves traces of an authentic proclamation, written in the style of a Greek ritual norm and probably with royal backing. We should not conclude from this, however, that the proclamation reflects the reality of how all Jews in Jerusalem conceptualized the purity of the temple and their obligations when butchering and tanning their animals within the city. I rather argue for a more complex interpretive approach that views royal edicts as fueling local debates surrounding temple purity, the sacred economy, and priestly prerogatives in Hellenistic Jerusalem.

Post-apartheid South Africa is characterized by the proliferation of public protests, which occur in various contexts. These include urban riots that are typically carried out by individuals who live in residential areas who are relatively politically, socially, and economically marginalized. In this perspective, the study seeks to navigate the nexus between urban riots and criminal activities in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa. This will be performed by looking at the recent urban violence that erupted in Johannesburg and Durban cities of South Africa following the arrest of the former president of South Africa Jacob Zuma on 7 July for contempt of court. As a result of the incarceration of Zuma, his supporters took to the streets to demand for his release, ending in protests which quickly evolved into widespread lootings, vandalism, and an outbreak of violence that denoted elements of criminality. The two provinces, Gauteng (the country's economic hub) and KwaZulu-Natal (on the east coast), bore the brunt of this violence. What began as a call for the release of Jacob Zuma transpired into something that was heavily coordinated, controlled and, to a larger extent, dangerous, and perhaps the worst post-apartheid urban riot. However, behind these riots, there are seeds of discontents that triggered these violent riots and these include: the frustrations of hungry and cold people whose prospects were already constrained by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, rising inequality between rich and poor, unemployment, intra-party tensions, and ANC-factionalism, including stereotypical Zulu nationalism and racial tensions in South Africa. On the other hand, the riots that occurred in both KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng were accompanied by criminality such as looting, torching, and burning of private and public properties and, to a larger degree, murder of civilians. Findings are that the urban riots in both Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces have resulted in human (in)securities such as exacerbation of poverty, food and fuel shortages, effects on the health sector (amid the COVID-19 crisis), loss of lives, and increase in unemployment. Methodologically, the study relies on a mixed method of research and content analysis.

The National Museum of Carthage has a rich collection of Byzantine seals, mostly still unpublished, which are datable to the 6th and 7th centuries. These seals provide a wealth of information about African Christianity in Late Antiquity. Through their iconography and their legends, these documents inform us about the different Christian saints venerated in North Africa. They also offer us a panoply of the African ecclesiastical world of that time. Dozens of African and foreign clergymen, of all ranks and orders, are mentioned in these bullae. Some of them are not attested by other sources, which will allow us to complete the Christian prosopography of Africa at the end of Antiquity and to improve our knowledge of late African Christianity.

Most emerging Rwandan post genocide children's stories indirectly tackle the 1994 genocide in thematic presentation. Coming from Rwanda is an interesting trend of representation of genocide inspired themes in a parable motif. This paper investigates why this is so. The selected stories from this region have specific patterns of representation of these trends. These patterns clearly follow a morally didactic way of dealing with aftermath of the genocide. This study examines how and why selected stories from Rwanda have employed this parable motif. The main focus of ~e study has been to examine how authors have employed style in dealing with genocide inspired themes to enable children readers (~ected by the 1994 genocide directly or vicariously) to cope with post traumatic stress disorder. This is a psychological condition affecting people and children who have been exposed to extreme violent acts. The condition was first discussed among the Vietnamese war veterans. The main aim o...
