Les violences extrêmes du xxe siècle à l’aune de l’histoire et de l’anthropologie
Extreme violence in the 20th century in the perspective of history and anthropologyIn highly diverse ways, Europeans during the “Second Thirty Years’ War” (1914-1935) experienced extreme violence, one of the more perplexing subjects faced by the social sciences.

Extreme violence in the 20th century in the perspective of history and anthropologyIn highly diverse ways, Europeans during the “Second Thirty Years’ War” (1914-1935) experienced extreme violence, one of the more perplexing subjects faced by the social sciences.
