  abstract  = {How can society be thought of as something in which the living and the dead interact throughout history? In Being with the Dead. Burial, Ancestral Politics, and the Roots of Historical Consciousness, Hans Ruin turns to the relationship between the living and the dead as well as 'historical consciousness'. He is referring to the expression 'being with the dead' (Mitsein mit dem Toten). Rather en passant, Martin Heidegger (1962: 282) shaped this existential-ontological term, which so far has hardly received any consideration. But for Ruin, it now forms the starting point for his "expanded phenomenological social ontology" (p. XI). By illuminating history and historical consciousness with the category 'being with the dead,' he gains remarkable insights into the meaning of ancestrality. Concerning 'necropolitics,' Ruin shows that the political space includes the living as well as the dead and how they constitute it. The foci of his considerations are the human sciences, above all sociology, anthropology, archaeology, philology and history. Ruin's book aims at a "metacritical thanatology," which he elaborates as "an exploration of the social ontology of being with the dead mediated through critical analyses of the human-historical sciences themselves" (p. XII). As a result, in a total of seven chapters, he succeeds astonishingly in emphasizing the political and ethical importance of a scientific gaze that cultivates the interaction of the living and the dead.},

  abstract  = {This article aims to develop a social theory of violence that emphasizes the role of the third party as well as the communication between the involved subjects. For this Teresa Koloma Beck's essay 'The Eye of the Beholder: Violence as a Social Process' is taken as a starting point, which adopts a social-constructivist perspective. On the one hand, the basic concepts and the benefits of this approach are presented. On the other hand, social-theoretical problems of this approach are revealed. These deficits are counteracted by expanding Koloma Beck's approach with a communicative-constructivist framework. Thus, the role of communicative action and the 'objectification of violence' is emphasized. These aspects impact the perception, judgement and (de-)legitimation of violence phenomena and the emergence of a 'knowledge of violence'. Communicative actions and objectifications form a key to understanding violent interactions and the link between the micro and macro levels. Finally, the methodological consequences for the research of violence and Communicative Constructivism are discussed. Furthermore, possible research fields are outlined, which open up by looking at communicative action and the objectifications within the 'triads of violence'.},

  abstract  = {Dieser Beitrag fragt danach, wie Wissen {\"u}ber Gewalt in Anti-Gewalttrainings produziert, vermittelt und sozial wirkm{\"a}chtig wird. Auf Basis des kommunikativen Konstruktivismus werden diese Kurse als gewaltbezogene Institutionen begriffen, in denen eine Wissensordnung der Gewalt stabilisiert wird. Sie sollen Abweichungen von institutionalisierten Wirklichkeitsvorstellungen in Bezug auf Gewalt entgegenwirken. Dabei lassen sie sich als Selbsttechniken begreifen, durch welche die Kursteilnehmer*innen eine spezifische Subjektposition ein{\"u}ben, n{\"a}mlich die des gewaltbefreiten Subjekts. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird anschließend zwischen konditionalen und konzessiven Anti-Gewalttrainings unterschieden. Erstere wenden sich an Personen, die tats{\"a}chlich von der institutionalisierten Wirklichkeitsvorstellung abgewichen sind und somit gesellschaftlich als Gewaltt{\"a}ter*innen eingestuft werden, w{\"a}hrend Letztere auf eine Klientel zielen, die potenziell von den g{\"a}ngigen Normen abweichen k{\"o}nnte, obwohl noch keine Gewalt aufgetreten sein muss. Abschließend wird gezeigt, dass den Kursleiter*innen eine wichtige Rolle im Subjektivierungsprozess und der Wissenskommunikation {\"u}ber Gewalt zukommt. Neben Wissen {\"u}ber Gewalt werden durch sie auch Wertbindungen, Legitimationen und Weltbilder vermittelt.},
