Michel Naepels: The Complexity of a Murder:

Situational Dynamics, Social Relations and Historical Context The
aim of this lecture is to incorporate a historical perspective in a
pragmatic description of a violent situation, through a case study
of a murder that took place in New Caledonia in 2012, based on
long-term ethnographic fieldwork. It examines the internal social
and political dynamics in a situation in which violence takes
place. Based on the description of a singular case, the study seeks
to show that the interactionist analysis of a situation of violence
can be complemented and enhanced by a description of segmentary and
antagonistic social relations, and their historicity; and it points
to the delayed effects of situations of violence. Prof. Dr. Michel
