WORK IN PROGRESS
Mary R. Jackman, The Social Capacity for Violence. Book in preparation.
I explore evidence on a wide range of injurious human behaviors from different cultures and
historical periods. While violence is generally assumed to be driven by hostility or anger and to be
socially, morally, or legally deviant from the mainstream of social intercourse, I show that a wider
and more inclusive perspective is required to encompass the manifold forms of violence that are
practiced in social life. I discuss the ambiguities, inconsistencies, and flawed assumptions that
mark common conceptions of violence, and I propose a generic definition of the phenomenon that
is divorced from cultural judgments. By exploring the diversity of violent behaviors and injuries in
social life, I work to demonstrate that violence is a strategic behavior like any other. The social
practice and ideological representation of violent acts are subject to the goals of all the relevant
actors (agents, victims, and third parties) who inflict, endure, or witness injurious behaviors and
then grope to interpret their experiences ideologically. Humans’ capacity for violence is elastic.
The practice and symbolic representation of violent acts are subject to the goals that frame people’s
lives and the efficacy of the violence in delivering or obstructing those goals. I explore how longterm systems of inequality organize the practice of violence in social life and shape the ways in
which various violent acts are ideologically interpreted. I make the case that the social
organization of violence in long-term relations of inequality indelibly conditions our awareness
and understanding of violence.
