The chapters here represent the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of the conference itself covering topics such as historical and theological concepts of evil, media representations of evil, contemporary debates surrounding the Bosnia war and woman perpetrators in Birkenau, and the construction of the Other as evil in the face of the continuing hysteria over AIDS. The range of the papers collected here makes this book essential reading for students of all humanities disciplines.At the interface/probing the boundaries ;v. 57.EthicsCongressesGood and evilCongressesEthicsGood and evil17017.93bcl18.05bclCC 7200rvkBalmain Colette1637245Drawmer Lois1637246Global Conference on Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness(6th :2005 :Prague)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814688903321Something wicked this way comes3978970UNINA
