Emerging shortly after the 150th anniversary of Emile Durkheims birth, Durkheim and Violence offers new and radical Durkheimian perspectives one of the most pressing issue of our age: violence. Tackling the question of violence in the Durkheimian oeuvre itself, this volume also boldly offers Durkheimian and Post Durkheimian explorations of such controversial, but timely subjects such asAbu-Ghraib, mass-mediated suicide, war, and the ontology of power and the sacred. Edited by S. Romi Mukherjee, an expert on the Durkheimian sociology of religions and Durkheimianism in inter-war France, the volume includes articles by an inter-disciplinary and international cast of expert sociologists, political theorists, philosophers, and historians of religion. While confronting Durkheimianism in context, the volume also turns the Durkheimian corpus towards a confrontation with various forms of contemporary irrationalism. The volume thus reveals the currency of the Durkheimian tradition, while charting new paths in modern, post-modern, and hyper-modern theory.
