Book DetailsLocating the Mediterranean brings together ethnographic examinations of processes that make locations and render them meaningful. The volume’s contributions illustrate how historical, legal, religious, economic, political, and social connections and separations shape the experience of being located in the geographical space around the Mediterranean. Theoretically novel and empirically rich, the volume stimulates anthropological debates on the interplay between location and region-making.
Book Details
This book draws a unique and detailed picture of developments in human interpersonal violence and presents new findings on rates, patterns and long-term changes of lethal violence in the Nordic. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of criminologists and historians, the book analyses homicide and lethal violence in northern Europe in two eras – the 17th century and early 21st century. The book is also a methodological experiment that seeks to assess the feasibility of long-duration standardized homicide analysis and to better understand the logic of long-duration homicide variation across space and over time.
