Political Violence and Practices of Survival

TraCe welcomes new Associate Fellow Sebastian Köthe

What sources do people draw from to en­dure political violence?  Sebastian Köthe, re­searcher at the Chair of Contempo­rary History at Justus Liebig University Giessen, studies the re­lationship be­tween politi­cal violence and pra­ctices of survival. Starting in October, he joins TraCe as an Asso­ciate Fellow.

His re­search examines the cultu­ral dimensions of po­litical violence, in­cluding associated re­presentations of the body, gender, and aesthetics. At the same time, he ex­plores how those affected cling to sur­vival in emergency si­tuations. We are de­lighted to welcome him to TraCe!
