a series of events presented by
The New Faces of the Enemy
Saturday, January 29th | 5:00pm | Round-table | The New York Public Library - Celeste Bartos Forum
Hosted by: Ann Stoler
Co-presented with LIVE from the New York Public Library
There is always an other, but must there always be an enemy? Is there a need for an enemy in the solidifying of social groups? Thinkers and writers from very different backgrounds will share their analyses: Philip Gourevitch has written extensively on Abu Ghraib and Rwanda, Scott Atran has studied the making of suicide bombers, Grégoire Chamayou has just published a philosophical work on the peculiarity of man hunting, and Ariel Colonomos is investigating the idea of preventive war.
