Boundary Work

Abstract

This panel brings together papers that ask how political violence is defined, contested, and temporally situated across different historical, geographic, and discursive contexts. The contributions explore the boundaries between violence and non-violence, legitimacy and illegitimacy, and past, present, and future in shaping the meaning and practice of coercion. Contributions interrogate the temporal and conceptual dimensions of violence, asking how past, present, and future are mobilized to justify, contest, or resist coercion, and how non-violent resistance itself becomes entangled in debates over legitimacy, boundaries, and strategy.
