History will absolve me: Exploring the relationship between historiography and political violence

Research master thesis | Literary Studies (research) (MA)
This thesis explores the way in which governmental and non-governmental political entities legitimize and deligitimize the use of violence by means of historiography. Through the analysis of various politically motivated violent actions and campaigns this thesis investigates the way in which the use of politically motivated violence can be retroactively (de)legitimized through the use of historical narrative.
