It then describes a hypothetical dialogue between the author of the chapter and the author of this work regarding the book's argument, method, evidence, and relevance for violence beyond violent display. It also reflects briefly on the author herself, who began as a doctoral student interested in studying political violence. She had asked some penetrating questions about the methodological and ethical challenges of ethnography in such settings. The chapter provides further insights into the life of the book's author and gives a brief eulogy for her untimely death.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114907518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here the lynching case from Maryland takes center stage, mainly because the rich detail that the source materials provide enables one to see people moving in and out of different roles in a given moment and over time. To put this display in comparative perspective, the chapter also discusses violent displays in Rwanda and Bosnia. Both pale in comparison to the lynching in terms of their brutality and extralethality. And yet, these less-spectacular displays, the chapter argues, still express notions of power and belonging. Here, the chapter develops and applies a theory of casting. This theory is less about individual nobodies becoming somebodies and more about the diversity of people who help to constitute a violent display as such, including those who happen on the scene unwittingly or unwillingly. The casting process does not guarantee anyone a particular role; some might try but fail to grab a starring role, for example. What it ensures is that everyone becomes part of the show, whether they want to be or not.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130992810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that lines of difference were more changeable and context dependent than nationalist claims would imply. To contextualize how violent displays transform the basis for belonging, the chapter explores what came before. Through a brief survey of category making in all three countries, it makes three arguments. First, fixity is a fiction. Variability in meanings and usage is the norm, even during conditions of violence. Second, state institutions do not reflect existing relations between “groups;” they are mechanisms for creating uniform categories, fitting everyone into them, then arranging those categories in a hierarchy of rights, privileges, and entitlements. Third, despite states' best efforts, meanings remain not just variable, but also ambiguous. It is this ambiguity that becomes a potent force for those who put violence on display.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"67 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120941458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that despite perpetrators' best efforts, violent projects — including violent displays — failed to harden or shore up group boundaries, even when terror tactics diminished people's room for maneuver. Even under the most threatening circumstances, people in each locale continued to violate the precepts of the nationalist, ethnic, or color line, laying bare the fragility of race- or ethnicity-based claims and racial and ethnic categories to order and direct people to act in specific ways. The dividing line (whether it be race or ethnicity), in a word, resists attempts at fixing its content and meaning, including violence put on display. Despite the best efforts of extremists, nationalists, and supremacists, some people will not go along with the categorization of bodies established by and through violent displays.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129007788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Bosnia, the chapter examines the violence that occurred in the Omarska prison camp, arguably the most notorious of all the Bosnian Serb-run camps during the war. It looks at various forms of extralethal acts, from the mundane (forcing prisoners to sing Serb nationalist songs) to the more spectacular (the torture of a group of former friends). In Rwanda, the chapter investigates the extralethal violence committed by a regional official and ardent supporter of the genocide, a man called Joseph. Joseph actively participated in the genocide, but also engaged in violent displays of his own.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116223212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
