Book excerpt: La tesis central de la obra es conceptualizar al genocidio como práctica social y se asienta en una senda de estudios que piensan el genocidio no como excepción en el proceso civilizatorio sino como la consecuencia directa de ciertas operaciones que se produjeron en la formación de la matriz del mundo moderno. Esta tercera edición ahonda el estudio de la periodización de los procesos genocidas, analiza la utilización del espacio en el ámbito concentracionario, amplía con numerosos ejemplos los hechos de resistencia judía armada, y abre nuevos preguntas sobre las cuestiones de la culpa y la responsabilidad, la construcción de la "víctima" y la formación y el despliegue de las formas de la resistencia. Y finaliza con un análisis de las formas de realización simbólica de las prácticas sociales genocidas.

Book excerpt: Was the extermination perpetrated by the Nazis unique and unrepeatable? Is it the demonic appearance of absolute evil? Or will it be, on the contrary, a constituent phenomenon in the conformation of modern societies? With the aim of contributing to the controversy, these studies interject a sociological approach that intends to analyze genocide as a social practice, a particular way of configuring the relations between men and social groups in the "Nation States" of modernity, a current and present practice, almost daily, in this universe that appears in the 21st century. Using categories of authors such as Michel Foucault, Antonio Gramsei, Jean Piaget or Theodor Adorno, it is intended to advance in the understanding of genocidal relations (the construction of social subjects - victims, murderers, witnesses -, the stages implemented for their realization, the configurations, territorial and symbolic that made possible these types of practices, the psychological and sociological mechanisms used to "break" the material and moral resistance of the victimized bodies). On the hand, an attempt is made to carry out a critical analysis of the forms of political and armed resistance (particularly, in the case of the Jewish communities, of the ghettos), as a trigger to discuss the possibilities of realizing a counterhegemonic power in one of the historical circumstances where the mere idea of a resistance appeared as a dream practically impossible.

Download or read book Introducción a los estudios sobre genocidio written by Daniel Feierstein and published by Fondo de Cultura Económica Argentina. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los asesinatos masivos han existido desde que el hombre habita la Tierra. Sin embargo, el concepto de genocidio surge recién a mediados del siglo xx como consecuencia de la experiencia del nazismo. Frente a la definición de genocidio aprobada por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, que desplaza el eje desde el ámbito de la opresión estatal hacia el racismo "despolitizado" de un pueblo hacia otro, Daniel Feierstein afirma que los asesinatos masivos en la Modernidad siempre se llevaron a cabo por motivos políticos. Para demostrar esto, analiza el rol de la violencia en diversos casos de prácticas sociales genocidas del siglo xx: en la constitución de Estados modernos como el argentino o el turco, en los casos emblemáticos del estalinismo, el franquismo y el nazismo, así como en el surgimiento de la doctrina de contrainsurgencia francesa y en los procesos de descolonización en la India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Palestina e Israel. Asimismo, examina la aplicación de la Doctrina de Seguridad Nacional en América Latina, en Indonesia y en Timor Oriental y el uso de prácticas genocidas para sustentar un proyecto socialista en Camboya, desmembrar un Estado en la ex-Yugoslavia y reconfigurar otro en Ruanda. Este libro constata la variedad, la complejidad y la funcionalidad del uso de la violencia con un sentido genocida y da cuenta de la necesidad de una mirada crítica que permita desarmar algunas de las estructuras fundamentales que han hecho y hacen posibles aún hoy los aniquilamientos masivos de población como arma política.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juicios es el segundo volumen de Sobre la elaboración del genocidio, trilogía consagrada al análisis crítico de las prácticas sociales genocidas desde la experiencia argentina. Daniel Feierstein se concentra aquí en la facultad de juzgar, particularmente en su realización institucional: los juicios penales. En su recorrido, discute tanto con la corriente predominante de la filosofía del derecho –el iuspositivismo–, que escinde drásticamente las normas jurídicas de las motivaciones éticas y epistemológicas, como con cierta revitalización del iusnaturalismo, y propone en cambio una interpretación constructivista de la ley. Se vale de ella para estudiar las dos tipologías básicas en los procesos judiciales contra perpetradores: el crimen de lesa humanidad y el genocidio. Asimismo, señala los problemas y las ventajas de cada una y las compara con alternativas provenientes de las ciencias sociales, como el politicidio, la masacre, el terrorismo de Estado y la limpieza étnica. Este minucioso trabajo conceptual permitirá esclarecer el caso argentino y su excepcionalidad a la hora de juzgar los crímenes estatales. Sin embargo, e l carácter verdaderamente original y revelador de Juicios radica en su modo de comprender el proceso judicial: no como un mero mecanismo formal destinado a la sanción, sino como una escena de encuentro obligado entre perpetradores y víctimas, en la que los hechos traumáticos de la historia reciente pueden ser reconfigurados frente a todos sus partícipes y donde se produce un juicio moral legitimado, que asigna responsabilidades y que repercute sobre la conciencia moral ciudadana de cara al futuro.

Book Synopsis El genocidio como práctica social by : Daniel Feierstein
Download or read book El genocidio como práctica social written by Daniel Feierstein and published by Fondo de Cultura Económica Argentina. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En El genocidio como práctica social se articulan dos genocidios de modo original: el ejecutado por el nazismo entre 1933 y 1945, con sus diferentes modalidades, objetivos y momentos, y el ocurrido en la Argentina entre 1974 y 1983, antes de y durante la última dictadura militar. La elección de ambos hechos históricos determina una trama narrativa y argumentativa no explicitada con anterioridad en el abordaje de las prácticas genocidas de la segunda mitad del siglo xx. Daniel Feierstein considera que ambos procesos no fueron sucesos excepcionales en la historia contemporánea, productos de meros arrebatos o el retorno del salvajismo y la irracionalidad, sino ejemplos de peculiares tecnologías de poder. Como tales, no se limitaron al aniquilamiento de colectivos humanos; también fueron capaces de "reorganizar" las relaciones sociales hegemónicas mediante la construcción de una otredad negativa, el hostigamiento, el aislamiento, el debilitamiento sistemático, el aniquilamiento material y la realización simbólica. Luego de legitimar el uso del término "genocidio" para el caso argentino, el autor propone una nueva tipología de las prácticas sociales genocidas y prueba la continuidad entre el nazismo, primer genocidio reorganizador, y el autodenominado "Proceso de Reorganización Nacional". A partir de testimonios de sobrevivientes de ambas experiencias, analiza el dispositivo fundamental de la práctica social genocida, el campo de concentración, y sus consecuencias sobre las víctimas directas y sobre el conjunto de la sociedad. Así, en la Argentina de los años ochenta y noventa, la desconfianza hacia el otro, la ausencia de reciprocidad, el terror y el escepticismo para adoptar posiciones críticas fueron los modos sociales hegemónicos. "Sin una fuerte transformación de nuestros procesos de construcción identitaria –concluye Feierstein–, sin una reformulación de los límites de nuestra responsabilidad ante el otro, sin entender que somos parte inescindible de las prácticas sociales que se desarrollan en las sociedades en las que habitamos y, por lo tanto, responsables morales por sus efectos, no será viable la posibilidad de desterrar al genocidio."
Book Synopsis New Directions in Genocide Research by : Adam Jones
Download or read book New Directions in Genocide Research written by Adam Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genocide studies is a relatively new field of comparative inquiry, but recent years have seen an increasing range of themes and subject-matter being addressed that reflect a variety of features of the field and transformations within it. This edited book brings together established scholars with rising stars and seeks to capture the range of new approaches, theories, and case studies in the field. The book is divided into three broad sections: Section I focuses on broad theories of comparative genocide, covering a number of different perspectives. Section II critically reconsiders core themes of genocide studies and unfolds a range of challenging new directions, including cultural genocide, gender and genocide (as it pertains to both women and men), structural violence, and the novel application of remote-sensing technologies to the detection and study of genocide. Section III is case-study focused, seeking to place both canonical and little-known cases of genocide in broader comparative perspective. Cases analyzed include genocide in North America, the Nazi Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and the Sri Lankan genocide. The combination of cutting-edge scholarship and innovative approaches to familiar subjects makes this essential reading for all students and scholars in the field of genocide studies.
Book Synopsis Genocide as Social Practice by : Daniel Feierstein
Download or read book Genocide as Social Practice written by Daniel Feierstein and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genocide not only annihilates people but also destroys and reorganizes social relations, using terror as a method. In Genocide as Social Practice, social scientist Daniel Feierstein looks at the policies of state-sponsored repression pursued by the Argentine military dictatorship against political opponents between 1976 and 1983 and those pursued by the Third Reich between 1933 and 1945. He finds similarities, not in the extent of the horror but in terms of the goals of the perpetrators. The Nazis resorted to ruthless methods in part to stifle dissent but even more importantly to reorganize German society into a Volksgemeinschaft, or people’s community, in which racial solidarity would supposedly replace class struggle. The situation in Argentina echoes this. After seizing power in 1976, the Argentine military described its own program of forced disappearances, torture, and murder as a “process of national reorganization” aimed at remodeling society on “Western and Christian” lines. For Feierstein, genocide can be considered a technology of power—a form of social engineering—that creates, destroys, or reorganizes relationships within a given society. It influences the ways in which different social groups construct their identity and the identity of others, thus shaping the way that groups interrelate. Feierstein establishes continuity between the “reorganizing genocide” first practiced by the Nazis in concentration camps and the more complex version—complex in terms of the symbolic and material closure of social relationships —later applied in Argentina. In conclusion, he speculates on how to construct a political culture capable of confronting and resisting these trends. First published in Argentina, in Spanish, Genocide as Social Practice has since been translated into many languages, now including this English edition. The book provides a distinctive and valuable look at genocide through the lens of Latin America as well as Europe.

Book Synopsis Memories and Representations of Terror by : Daniel Feierstein
Download or read book Memories and Representations of Terror written by Daniel Feierstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories and Representations of Terror: Working Through Genocide explores how memories and representations shape our understanding of historical events, particularly the ways in which societies create narratives about genocide and its aftermath, using Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976–1983) and its contested legacy as a case study. Feierstein examines how memories and representations of genocide are the terrain in which both the strategic objectives of genocide and the possibilities of challenging those objectives are contested. These memories and representations provide the foundation upon which critical judgments about the past are constructed and offer the potential for assuming responsibility and working through the consequences of genocide. This book proposes that terror continues to hijack the actions and identities of surviving societies via a process of the construction of memories and social representations of the lived experience in a final stage of genocide Feierstein terms "symbolic enactment". In doing so, Feierstein examines the contributions of various disciplines to comprehending memory processes and social representations. It covers a range of topics, from the nature of memory based on the neuroscientific discoveries of the last half-century to psychoanalytic theories on the functioning of the mind, including the role of psychic defense mechanisms, the unconscious mind, collective pacts of denial and different forms of desensitization. It also explores historiographical debates between forms of history and forms of memory, as well as sociological contributions to the analysis of social frames of memory, cultural memory, generational transmission and related issues. The first volume of a three-volume work that aims to identify and evaluate the various consequences of genocidal social practices and the possibility of healing the scars left on individuals’ subjectivities and the social fabric by genocide. This book is essential reading for students and academics in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in genocide, collective memory and identity.
Book Synopsis State Violence and Genocide in Latin America by : Marcia Esparza
Download or read book State Violence and Genocide in Latin America written by Marcia Esparza and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores political violence and genocide in Latin America during the Cold War, examining this in light of the United States’ hegemonic position on the continent. Using case studies based on the regimes of Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Peru and Uruguay, this book shows how U.S foreign policy – far from promoting long term political stability and democratic institutions – has actually undermined them. The first part of the book is an inquiry into the larger historical context in which the development of an unequal power relationship between the United States and Latin American and Caribbean nations evolved after the proliferation of the Monroe Doctrine. The region came to be seen as a contested terrain in the East-West conflict of the Cold War, and a new US-inspired ideology, the ‘National Security Doctrine’, was used to justify military operations and the hunting down of individuals and groups labelled as ‘communists’. Following on from this historical context, the book then provides an analysis of the mechanisms of state and genocidal violence is offered, demonstrating how in order to get to know the internal enemy, national armies relied on US intelligence training and economic aid to carry out their surveillance campaigns. This book will be of interest to students of Latin American politics, US foreign policy, human rights and terrorism and political violence in general. Marcia Esparza is an Assistant Professor in Criminal Justice Department at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Henry R. Huttenbach is the Founder and Chairman of the International Academy for Genocide Prevention and Professor Emeritus of City College of the City University of New York. Daniel Feierstein is the Director of the Center for Genocide Studies at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, Argentina, and is a Professor in the Faculty of Genocide at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Reflects about the power relations between the Jewish resistance in the ghettos and the Nazis.
Book Synopsis Destruction and human remains by : Jean-Marc Dreyfus
Download or read book Destruction and human remains written by Jean-Marc Dreyfus and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute the end of the executors' work. Their victims' remains are often treated and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering, often with remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. Interdisciplinary in scope, Destruction and human remains will appeal to readers interested in the history and implications of genocide and mass violence, including researchers in anthropology, sociology, history, politics and modern warfare. The research program leading to this publication has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n° 283-617.
Book Synopsis Extremely Violent Societies by : Christian Gerlach
Download or read book Extremely Violent Societies written by Christian Gerlach and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book Christian Gerlach traces the social roots of the extraordinary processes of human destruction involved in mass violence throughout the twentieth century. He argues that terms such as 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' are too narrow to explain the diverse motives and interests that cause violence to spread in varying forms and intensities. From killings and expulsions to enforced hunger, collective rape, strategic bombing, forced labour and imprisonment he explores what happened before, during, and after periods of widespread bloodshed in countries such as Armenia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nazi-occupied Greece and in anti-guerilla wars worldwide in order to highlight the crucial role of socio-economic pressures in the generation of group conflicts. By focussing on why so many different people participated in or supported mass violence, and why different groups were victimized, he offers us a new way of understanding one of the most disturbing phenomena of our times.
