Summary:

"The encounter organized by Inter- Disciplinary Press in Prague on 9- 11.5.2013,1 was enlightening and frightening at the same time. In the town where old cultural riches met actual wars; where violence met Kafka's literary evil, metamorphoses and hope; in the place that knew a spring of high expectations that brought also terrible oppression; contributors brought with them interesting conceptualizations together with concrete evidences and examples from the infinite expressions of violence across our world"-- Provided by publisher.
