Reseña del libro "Men Violence: Gender, Honor, and Rituals in Modern Eur: Gender, Honor and Rituals in Modern Europe and America (The History of Crime & Criminal Justice) (en Inglés)"
There is growing interest in the history of masculinity and male culture, including violence, as an integral part of a proper understanding of gender. In almost every historical setting, masculinity and violence are closely linked; certainly, violent crime has been overwhelmingly a male enterprise. But violence is not always criminal: in many cultural contexts violence is linked instead to honor and encoded in rituals. We possess only an imperfect understanding of the ways in which aggressive behavior, or the abstention from aggressive behavior, contributes to the construction of masculinity and male honor. In this collection, internationally renowned expert Pieter Spierenburg brings together eight scholars to explore the fascinating interrelationship of masculinity, honor, and the body. The essays focus on the United States and western Europe from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. The contributors are Ute Frevert, Steven Hughes, Robert Nye, Daniele Boschi, Amy Sophia Greenberg, Martin J. Wiener, Stephen Kantrowitz, and Terence Finnegan. Men and Violence will be welcomed and widely used by a broad range of scholars and students. Pieter Spierenburg is professor of history at Erasmus University and the author of The Spectacle of Suffering: Executions and the Evolution of Repression, The Broken Spell: A Cultural and Anthropological History of Preindustrial Europe, and The Prison Experience: Disciplinary Institutions and Their Inmates in Early Modern Europe.
