| Title | 'Talking about violence':Mapping the contested discursive space of North Kerala |
| Summary | One of the important ways in which the phenomenon of political violence can be studied is by paying attention to the ways in which people ‘talk’ about it. Looking closely at the discourses of the social actors in the violent milieu enables us to approach the study of political violence in a more embedded manner that goes beyond institutional and comparative approaches to the topic. The context of this study is the violent political culture of North Kerala in India. By adopting William H. Sewell, Jr’s framework of ‘event’ theory, we enquire into the role of discourse in limiting the highly significant TP murder into a mere ‘rupture’ from past practices of the North Kerala society. |
