[A-List] Listserv on Ideologies of War and Terror
Title: Message
IDEOLOGIES OF WAR AND
TERROR: Join the Listserv
Send an e-mail to:
Acts of war and terror—forms of behavior—are generated by
beliefs and ideologies. What logic contained within an ideology can dictate a
willingness to die and kill? How do ideologies function to allow desires and
fantasies of group members to become articulated as dimensions of society? What
are the psychological sources of our attraction to ideologies and how may we
account for the passion with which they are embraced?
Individual acts of violence are considered "criminal."
Acts of violence committed by societal groups—nations and civilizations—on the
other hand, often are glorified and imbued with a sense of goodness. What
transformative power of ideologies converts murderous acts into forms of
virtue?
This listserv
invites scholars and thinkers to explore these issues in a spirit of serious,
dispassionate inquiry. To join the
listserv, please contact Orion Anderson at oanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
