Violence writ large
Professor Philip Dwyer and his team from the Centre for the History of Violence are leading a fundamental rethinking of violence in the modern world.
You only have to turn on the television to become immersed in violence, points out Professor Philip Dwyer.
"It is such a present thing, whether it is the conflict in Libya, the war in Iraq, riots in London or the case of a footballer who has assaulted a female fan, violence is a constant within our world.
"Yet, we don't really understand the processes behind it, we don't understand what it is that makes people commit these acts of violence. This, as a phenomenon, hasn't been the object of detailed and profound research."
Probing the underlying historical factors of violence is an integral aspect of the research of the Centre for the History of Violence, led by Dwyer, within the Faculty of Education and Arts.
Dwyer describes the research agenda of the group, an alliance of historians, sociologists and language experts, as "violence writ large", embracing anything from war and massacre to criminal acts, sexual and domestic assault, intellectual violence or violence in film and literature.
With the momentum created by their interdisciplinary meeting of the minds, Dwyer and his team have developed grander ambitions for making the University of Newcastle a leading international research hub in the field of violence studies.
"Violence has been studied within different disciplines over the past 10 or 15 years but it is really coming into its own as a field and researchers in Newcastle are at the forefront of this," Dwyer says.
"We see an opportunity to pull together researchers from lots of different universities and disciplines and substantiate, in effect, this new field of study.
"You can ask the very simple question, 'What is violence?' and come up with all sorts of different responses depending on what field someone is in," he says.
Dwyer's own interest in violence emerged from research into his award-winning book Napoleon 1769-1799: The Path to Power, which was published in 2008.
"It was quite accidental; as I was writing the first volume of the biography I came across lots of massacres by Napoleon's troops in Italy and Egypt and I had never really seen any detailed research on them, so I delved into it," he says.
"But even before that, I guess, there was this desire as an undergraduate teacher to be able to explain to students what it is that makes a 'normal' individual commit extreme acts of violence.
"It's very intriguing question - it is all about us but we don't really understand it."

The Darker Angels of Our Nature: Refuting the Pinker Theory of History and Violence
About The Darker Angels of Our Nature
In The Better Angels of Our Nature Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker argued that modern history has witnessed a dramatic decline in human violence of every kind, and that in the present we are experiencing the most peaceful time in human history. But what do top historians think about Pinker's reading of the past? Does his argument stand up to historical analysis?
In The Darker Angels of our Nature, seventeen scholars of international stature evaluate Pinker's arguments and find them lacking. Studying the history of violence from Japan and Russia to Native America, Medieval England and the Imperial Middle East, these scholars debunk the myth of non-violent modernity. Asserting that the real story of human violence is richer, more interesting and incomparably more complex than Pinker's sweeping, simplified narrative, this book tests, and bests, 'fake history' with expert knowledge.
Reviews
This bracing and comprehensive set of essays on Steven Pinker's influential case for the decline of violence is definitive in its arguments, while also controlled and justified in its exasperation. The implacable engagement demands a rethinking of the relationship between history and social science. ― Samuel Moyn, Henry R. Luce Professor of Jurisprudence and Professor of History, Yale University, USA
In this calm refuge from the unwarranted claims and relentless optimism of Steven Pinker's recent books, Dwyer, Micale and their thoughtful colleagues offer new and wide-ranging ways to think about violence, history, and the civilizations that we humans have created and destroyed-a refreshing antidote to wishful thinking. ― Barbara H. Rosenwein, Professor emerita Department of History, Loyola University Chicago, USA
The historians in this constellation of essays come at Pinker's controversial thesis with both hammer and tongs and a fine-tooth comb. With passion and care, they require fans and critics alike to consider the historical conditions that undergird arguments about the psychology of violence. It's a book that even Pinker will have to reckon with. ― Antoinette Burton, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
This volume enlists some of the best historians and historically-oriented social scientists working today to accomplish two urgent tasks. Collectively, they dismantle Steven Pinker's popular and misleading thesis that we humans are living in an ever more peaceful world. They also open up vital questions about what counts as violence and how violence itself has changed over time. ― Sophia Rosenfeld, Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania, USA
This collection of essays restores common sense and a critical perspective to the discussion of the place of violence in our collective history. The important historical question as to the meaning of violence over time and space is a subject too important to be swept up in a paean of praise to ourselves. Dwyer and Micale are to be thanked for gathering together a set of incisive and original essays enabling us to go beyond Pinker's work in the effort to do justice to the history of violence in our time. ― Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor of History emeritus, Yale University, USA
Steven Pinker's pseudo-historical writings promote the worship of teleology and the naive acceptance of modern (Western) man's solipsistic claims to superiority over all "dark" Others, past and present. In this tenacious periodizing schema, "we" have rejected "the medieval" for an "enlightened" world of endless progress. These contributions by Philip Dwyer, Mark Micale, and their colleagues take well-aimed blows at the foundations of white privilege and patriarchy that undergird such ahistorical theories. ― Carol Symes, Associate Professor of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Founding Executive Editor of The Medieval Globe, USA
The brilliant and considered contributions to Darker Angels add up to a devasting indictment from which the 'Pinker thesis' will never recover. Demonstrating the shallow scholarship that informs so many of Pinker's empirical judgments, this book also shatters his Panglossian ideology that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." ― Jeffrey C. Alexander, Lillian Chavenson Saden Professor of Sociology, Yale University, USA
Research Expertise
My research focus was on late eighteenth and early nineteenth century French and European history, with a particular interest in the history of European state-relations, political history, biography, iconography, war, memory, and identity during the Napoleonic Wars. My current preoccupation with the history of violence has led me to an interest in global history. I am currently writing a history of violence from pre-history to the present. As the Director of the Centre for the Study of Violence, we welcome researchers and postgraduate students exploring all aspects of violence, including its concepts, representations, and aftermaths, as well as questions of interpersonal, political and cultural violence.
Teaching Expertise
I teach a range of courses across Modern European History, including the compulsory first year subject, HIST1001, Europe and the World; and HIST3006, The History of Violence.
Administrative Expertise

Collaborations
My research focus has shifted from late eighteenth and early nineteenth century French and European history toward world history and the history of violence. My current research involves tackling the question of violence in human history, and the degree to which humans are, or have been, violent in the past. The major publication stemming from this work will be The Savage Heart, to be published by Bloomsbury in the UK. I am also collaborating with a number of scholars in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and North America, on four other related projects.
The first is a comparative study of colonisation and massacre in the modern world, 1780-1820, funded by the Australia Research Council, which looks at colonialism, warfare and violence in Australia, South Africa, North America and Europe.
The second is a history of iconoclasm from ancient times to the present, co-authored with Nikolas Orr.
The third is a study on the aftermaths of war, 1815-1945, funded by the Australia Research Council.
The fourth project involves is a six-volume Cultural History of Violence, with Bloomsbury Academic. My colleagues and I (5 editors and 54 authors) are attempting to think differently about violence in history, the language used by historians to describe the processes of violence, and the extent to which all peaceful, civil societies are predicated on violence.

Before the Enlightenment, the world was superstitious, cruel, and violent; after the Enlightenment, the world was rational and more peaceful. Pinker thus reduces violence to a fairly simplistic concept: all violence can be equated with irrationality, unreason, and ignorance. History is never as straightforward as Pinker would have his readers believe, and violence is a much more complex notion that is often driven not by superstition or unreason, but perfectly ¿rational¿ motives. This article argues that there is little causal connection between Enlightenment values and the decline in violence and that changes came about as a result of a complex series of reasons, some of them less than edifying. It raises the interesting question of whether ideas drive history, or whether they are simply the ¿ideological¿ bedrock on which change is grounded.

[more] In the closing months of 2011, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker published The Better Angels of Our Nature: The Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes.1 Weighing in at over eight hundred closely printed pages, Pinker¿s book advances a bold, revisionist thesis: despite the relentless deluge of violent, sensationalist stories in the pervasive electronic media of our day, Pinker proposes, violence in the human world, in nearly every form, has in fact declined dramatically. Over the past several thousand years, and particularly since the eighteenth century, homicides, criminal assaults, war casualties, domestic violence, child abuse, animal abuse, capital punishment, lynching, and rape have all been steadily diminishing in frequency.

And yet there few critiques of it to speak of, and no clear-cut methodology on how to do the history of violence. This article takes a more critical view of violence as a field of historical research by questioning some of the approaches and methods adopted until now. It examines some meanings of violence and the difficulties involved in defining it, discusses some of the trends that have emerged from the history of violence, and offers some suggestions about how to approach the topic from a different perspective. It argues for a cultural, constructed interpretation of violence that not only involves understanding behaviors, but also narratives and discourses of violence that help both define and shape people¿s attitudes.

[more] The media of the day represented three predominant models around Napoleon: the all-conquering victorious general, the virtuous republican who stood above factions, and the man who brought peace to the Continent. These images became the foundation of a 'hero-saviour' myth that helped Napoleon take power on his return from Egypt at the end of 1799. However, they sit uncomfortably with the manner in which he represented power in public that, outside France, took on quasi-monarchical trappings. This article attempts to explain not only the origins and evolution of Napoleonic propaganda in the early years of his career, but also the ambiguity between the political imagery and rhetoric used to promote Napoleon in France on the one hand, and the manner in which he behaved in public outside France on the other. The hero-saviour myth was further developed and exploited during the Consulate and the Empire as a means of legitimating Napoleon's accession to power. © 2004 Oxford University Press and the Society for the Study of French History.
