JAHRBUCH FÜR EUROPÄISCHE GESCHICHTE EUROPEAN ...

The history of terrorism has been largely a history of perpetrators  their motives and actions.
The history of their victims has always seemed to be of secondary importance. But terrorism is
communication by violence  and its efficiency depends significantly on the selection and the
treatment of the victims by the perpetrators  on the one hand  and the perception and
acknowledgement of victimhood by the public  on the other. How does it affect our picture of
the history of terrorism then  if the victims are moved centre stage? If the focus is put on
their suffering  their agency  their helplessness  or on how they are acknowledged or exploited
by society  politics and media? If the central role is taken into account which they play in
terrorist propaganda as well as in the emotional response of the public? The contributions to
this edition of the European History Yearbook will examine such questions in a broad range of
historical case studies and methods  including visual history. Not least  they aim at
historicizing the roles of survivors and relatives in the social process of coming to terms
with terrorist violence  a question highly relevant up to the present day.
