Abstract
Abstract The introduction presents the book’s puzzle: Why are some violent acts more galvanizing than others? While some victims of abuse turn into symbols of resistance against a complacent society that tolerates violence, most suffer in silence, alone, and hidden from public view. It explains that certain conditions must be in place for an act of violence to become transformative: (1) the victims are identifiable as members of a group of known statistical victims; (2) the violence occurs within preexisting interpretive frameworks; and (3) both an image and a narrative of violence are available. The chapter outlines the book’s research methodology and its roadmap.
