HARM – Journal of Hostility, Aggression, Repression and Malice
HARM, the Journal of Hostility, Anger, Repression and Malice, is the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, open access journal of the Hans Kilian and Lotte Köhler Center (KKC) for Cultural Psychology and Historical Anthropology at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany.
This newly established journal will serve as an international forum for the documentation and analysis of the manifold and complex facets that make up what is commonly associated with the concepts of violence and aggression. While these concepts are mainly regarded as central to sociology and psychology, the journal aims to broaden the scope of current discussion. It will thereby shed light on aspects that have been neglected so far, but that would significantly advance our understanding of acts of and discourses about HARM. The editors welcome relevant theoretical and empirical contributions from all scientific fields, for example, history, literature, and religious studies, media studies, the arts, biology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis. -
