The TraCe Lecture Series continues this summer term in Darmstadt. Titled “Violence as a Global Challenge”, every Wednesday evening the lecture series will provide an interdisciplinary insight into current dynamics of political violence.
The lecture series opens with an interdisciplinary introduction to the topic of political violence and its transformations. The following lectures in the series will be dedicated to analyzing protests in cities as an expression of violence, to examining urban violence in the form of terrorism and urban warfare as well as to discussing ecological violence. The lecture series will also address the effects of new technologies and developments in the field of AI on the dynamics of violent phenomena. The institutional perspective will be deepened by a lecture on state violence, with a particular focus on the role of the police. Further lectures will take a look at the function of science and experts in the context of political violence and examine networks and social media in this context. Finally, the lecture series expands the interpretations of political violence by focusing on the analysis of social violence phenomena in the context of soccer.
