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.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pieter Spierenburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.05w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814207536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePieter Spierenburg is professor of history at Erasmus University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Spectacle of Suffering: Executions and the Evolution of Repression, The Broken Spell: A Cultural and Anthropological History of Preindustrial Europe, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Prison Experience: Disciplinary Institutions and Their Inmates in Early Modern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40191898353779,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_deee07d0-e010-45e2-9591-324279225cab.jpg?v=1655906779","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/men-and-violence-gender-honor-and-rituals-in-modern-europe-and-america-9780814207536","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
