Résumé / Abstract
Nowadays, 'violence' is a polysemic term, used to refer to a wide range of events and, moreover, laden with moral and ideological connotations. Thus, any research referring to it has to delimit its semantic field, before defining the criteria that should allow to approach the specific manifestations being analysed. This paper carries out a critical review of the most common definitions of 'violence' as well as of the different kinds of causal factors used to explain it. Next, a perspective is developed for which, on one side, suffering and conflict are the crucial criteria to qualify specific practices as being "violent" and, on the other, physical violence is the realm which allows and supports all other forms of violence. Concerning the debate around the causes of physical violence throughout history, it is argued that the policies resulting from the dominant relations of production and property rights of each period played a mayor role. Finally, a set of guidelines are presented through which archaeological research could gain knowledge of the role of violence in the past.
