After September 11, 2001, Germans' understandings of violence at home and abroad began to change. Violence came to appear transnationally, spectacularly mobile in new ways. This volume explores ideas about "violence elsewhere" in German-language culture since 2001 as they are refracted through cultural, discursive and artistic forms. Here, "elsewhere" can mean violence in distant places, or violence perceived as foreign or past. The volume's nine essays treat works on "violence elsewhere" of many kinds, in genres ranging from classic literary forms to multimedia artworks, film, philosophy, and political discourse.

Hardback. Etat : New. Examines ideas of violence in German culture after 9/11 through the lens of "violence elsewhere" - exploring works and discourses about violence in distant locations or times.Following the Nazi era, the Holocaust, and the Second World War, in postwar Germany thinking or speaking about that extreme violence seemed distinctively difficult - even perhaps, at times, impossible. Yet we can learn about understandings of violence in this period in novel ways by exploring images and constructions in German culture of faraway violence, as shown in the recent volume Violence Elsewhere 1: Imagining Distant Violence in Germany, 1945-2001.As of September 11, 2001, violence came to appear transnationally, spectacularly mobile in new ways. Consequently, Violence Elsewhere 2 explores ideas about "violence elsewhere" in German-language culture since 2001. Here, "elsewhere" can mean not only distant places; it may also be violence perceived as foreign, or in the past. Simultaneously, this work suggests that the idea of 9/11 as a watershed in thinking about violence is more complex than meets the eye.Here, nine essays consider classic literary forms like poetry and prose fiction, from the short story to the intergenerational German family novel to Black feminist speculative fiction. Contributors examine, too, philosophy, performance and multimedia art, political and other forms of public discourse, and film. Topics include, amongst others, the "war on terror," slow environmental violence, the Armenian genocide, portrayals of refugees and migrants, legacies of colonial violence, space travel, and the persistent resonance of the German past.Contributors: Sofía Forchieri, Susanne C.
