Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes Press in collaboration with Martin Buber Society of Fellows: Revenge, Retribution, Reconciliation Justice and Emotions between Conflict and Mediation A Cross-Disciplinary Anthology Edited by: Kim Wünschmann<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Kim+W%c3%bcnschmann.aspx?name=Kim+W%c3%bcnschmann>, Laura Jockusch<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Laura+Jockusch.aspx?name=Laura+Jockusch>, Andreas Kraft<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Andreas+Kraft.aspx?name=Andreas+Kraft>
"Revenge rarely figures as a felt emotion, or as a remembered desire, and even more rarely as a guide to actions performed. A joke in circulation among Czech Jewish survivors shows that survivors themselves explicitly recognized this absence: Hitler, trying to hide his postwar identity, enters a cafe in Prague and sees a survivor reading the daily newspaper. 'Could I borrow your paper?' whispers Hitler politely. The Jew, recognizing Hitler, answers in fury: 'No, Herr Führer, you will never get a newspaper from me after what you have done to my people during the war.' " The Martin Buber Society of Fellows explore how individuals, groups, and societies in a variety of cultural contexts, political settings, and time periods respond to the perpetration of injustices. Approaching the concepts of revenge, retribution, and reconciliation from interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives, it opens a fruitful discussion among scholars of history, literature, psychology, biology, political science, communications, sociology, religious studies, law, and philosophy. The book investigates how social groups reach and maintain an equilibrium between an emotional thirst for an immediate and unmediated response to injustices and societies’ need to adjudicate measures and sanctions that seem proportional to the breech of justice. This volume is the third in the Martin Buber Society of Fellows Notebook Series.
