Oddities of Violence

CJSW 90.9 FM

In each episode, your Oddities of Violence hosts interview an expert studying terrorism, genocide, or the philosophy of violence, exploring overlooked or under-appreciated examples that challenge how we think about the boundaries of violence. We cover topics ranging from the Peloponnesian War, the anxieties of the Roman Empire, and panic over organized arson in early-modern European, to Jewish anti-Fascist violence, starvation and revolution in Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and the role of “magical thinking” in modern violence, up to new legal interpretations of Indigenous genocide in North America, on-line violent extremism, and the meaning and uses of the idea of the New to make sense of contemporary protest and violence.
