VIOLENCE IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPEAN HISTORY: COMMEMORATION, DOCUMENTATION, EDUCATION
In Europe,the 20thcentury could rightly be called a ‘century of violence’ due to anexponential increase in the number of those who were killed, imprisoned, tortured or displaced during that century. Apart from numerous wars, including two globalones, which have caused millions of deaths, modern states became involved in violence towards their own citizens. The increase of state violence weakened democracy, undermined human rights and eventually led to the creation of totalitarian regimes. Therefore, it seems vital to focus primarily on the various phenomena of violence and their consequences fortwentieth-century history as well as on how they are remembered.
The Remembrance and Solidarity Studies Editorial Board invites authors to participate with thematically relevant contributions – only unpublished articles, book reviews, or conference reports will be considered.
As there are several periodicals entirely dedicated to Violence research, we intend to focus on issues that are relevant to our journal. As violence was a Europe-wide phenomenon, we welcome new research in diversedisciplines that tackles this dimension, whether in real time or in post-1945 history and memory. Contributions can deal with the following aspects (though other aspects will be considered, too):
- Revealing the intellectual and ideological sources of various forms of violence;
- Transnational recurring characteristics of violence, whether on national, regional orlocal level (actors, authorities, administrations and conditions);
- Case studies of assuming or rejecting responsibility for violence. Alternative or controversial narratives about the tragic past of Europe in the 20thcentury. The memory of political violence in the consciousness of current generations.
