Loengu tutvustus:
This talk will be an informal discussion of ethnographic, sociological, and psychological evidence that most violence is morally motivated. The thesis is that most harm and homicide are moral actions to create, sustain, redress, and terminate social relationships. Although hurting and killing are often aversive and traumatic for the perpetrators, people sometimes feel morally compelled to violence. The obligations to violence may be generated by the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, or relationships between the perpetrators and third parties. Conversely, these relationships may prevent violence, depending on its meaning in the relationships. I will briefly sample from accounts in diverse cultures and historical periods of homicide, suicide, rape, robbery, torture, warfare, sports, genital surgery and castration, body marking initiation, religious mortification and asceticism, human sacrifice, and related practices. One major question to resolve concerns when and why people are motivated to moral violence to constitute relationships, and when people constitute relationships in other ways.
