Understanding violence in the context of the contemporary world leads us to an infinite number of viewpoints and theoretical frameworks. Not only the study of violence has been largely split into specific groups, but at the same time different disciplines seem to have assumed the existence of a peaceful society in which violence occurs only in specific places and events - including armed conflicts, civil unrest and violent crime. However, it is a slippery concept that transcends unstable limits between public and private, legitimacy and illegitimacy, individual and collective spheres. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the concept of violence in the contemporary world, we present a collection of seventeen chapters, organized in four sections: Sexualised and Intimate Partner Violence: encouraging disclosure; Urban Violence: crime and fear in the contemporary world; Representing violence: a critical analysis; Violence and Political destabilization: war, elections and corporations.
