Spectacular Acts of ViolenceTransnational public spheres and terrorism, 1890-1914

该项目旨在从比较和跨国的角度分析第一次世界大战爆发前的最后二十年中壮观的暴力行为的传播影响。如果在公众中引起特别激烈的反应，袭击将被称为“壮观”。作为第一步，该项目的目的是根据现有文献和来自袭击者周围地区的消息来源，详细描述西班牙、法国和俄罗斯帝国对这种袭击的立即反应。随后将对报道暗杀事件的选定报纸进行定性内容分析。将对不同类型的报纸进行分析：首先是有记者在现场的报纸，然后是对事件进行评论和分类的国家和国际报纸。因此，该项目不仅有助于更好地了解暴力引发的交流动态，而且有助于第一次世界大战爆发前不同公共领域之间的跨国相互联系。

The project aims to analyze the communicative impact of spectacular acts of violence during the last two decades before the outbreak of World War I from a comparative and transnational perspective. Attacks will be called "spectacular" if they caused particularly fierce reactions in the public. In a first step, the project aims to deliver a detailed description of the immediate reactions to such attacks in Spain, France and the Russian Empire based on the existing literature and on sources from the immediate environs of the attachs. This will be followed by a qualitative content analysis of selected newspapers reporting on assassinations. Different types of newspapers will be analysed: First, newspapers whose correspondents were on the spot, and subsequently the national and international press, which commented on and classified the events. The project will thus contribute not only to a better understanding of communicative dynamics triggered by violence, but also to the transnational interconnections between different public spheres before the outbreak of World War I.
