Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next installment of the Jen\u0151 Szucs Lecture Series will provide an insight into cutting-edge research regarding violence and moral remembrance, shedding light on new, more nuanced perspectives. In the first presentation, Prof. Sinisa Malesevic looks into violence, going against simplistic opposite explanations of how easy or hard it is committed on the battlefield. By explaining the context and complex emotions surrounding it, the presentation will give an insight into the internal dynamic of violence and its varying outcomes. In the second presentation,  Dr. Lea David explores what comes after violence \u2014 remembrance. Treating moral remembrance in the context of human rights ideology, with its standardized and universalized forms of memorialization, the presentation would discuss its failure to overcome the violence and nationalism that it was supposed to extinguish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
