In this book, Lee Ann Fujii explores what she calls the ‘logic of violence on display’. She defines the concept as ‘a collective effort to stage violence for people to see, notice, and take in’ (p. 2). To solve the puzzle of violence on display and to explain why people engage in it, Fujii focuses on its staging, or ‘the meaning-making power of embodied action’ (p. 8). Fujii argues that ‘such displays can do “things” that undisplayed violence cannot’ (p. 5): they produce new identities for the partici- pants; they make participation in violence a requirement for in-group inclusion; and they can establish a new political order.
