"Opening the enormous metal gate, the guard suddenly took away my blindfold and asked me, tauntingly, if I would recognize my parents. With my eyes hurting from the strange light and anger in my voice, I assured him that I would. Suddenly I was pushed through the gate and the door was slammed behind me. After more than eight years, here I was, finally, out of jail . . . ." In this haunting account, Shahla Talebi remembers her years as a political prisoner in Iran. Talebi, along with her husband, was imprisoned for nearly a decade and tortured, first under the Shah and later by the Islamic Republic. Writing about her own suffering and survival and sharing the stories of her fellow inmates, she details the painful reality of prison life and offers an intimate look at a critical period of social and political transformation in Iran. Somehow through it all—through resistance and resolute hope, passion and creativity—Talebi shows how one survives. Reflecting now on experiences past, she stays true to her memories, honoring the love of her husband and friends lost in these events, to relate how people can hold to moments of love, resilience, and friendship over the dark forces of torture, violence, and hatred. At once deeply personal yet clearly political, part memoir and part meditation, this work brings to heartbreaking clarity how deeply rooted torture and violence can be in our society. More than a passing judgment of guilt on a monolithic "Islamic State," Talebi's writing asks us to reconsider our own responses to both contemporary debates of interrogation techniques and government responsibility and, more simply, to basic acts of cruelty in daily life. She offers a lasting call to us all. "The art of living in prison becomes possible through imagining life in the very presence of death and observing death in the very existence of life. It is living life so vitally and so fully that you are willing, if necessary, to let that very life go, as one would shed chains on the legs. It is embracing, and flying on the wings of death as though it is the bird of freedom."

Mit dem Prozess der Christianisierung entstand im Römischen Reich eine neue Art der gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzung: das religiös motivierte Vorgehen gegen Orte, Objekte oder Personen. Die radikalste Form dieser Aggression wandte sich gegen Heiligtümer des religiösen Gegners - Tempel, Synagogen oder Kirchengebäude. Die Folgen waren einschneidend: Der Angriff auf Kultorte forderte den Einsatz aller Institutionen des Reiches, vom Kaiser bis zu den städtischen Eliten. Mit der Machtverschiebung auf lokaler Ebene gelang es Bischöfen und religiösen Charismatikern, sich neben der Administration als neue Autoritäten zu etablieren. Die Beiträge analysieren die Perspektive des Imperiums und seiner Institutionen auf das Phänomen der religiösen Gewalt und das gewaltsame Vorgehen gegen Kultorte. Die Rolle der Gesetzgebung und das Verhältnis der Ebenen der kaiserlichen Verwaltung zueinander werden ebenso untersucht wie die Beziehung der staatlichen Institutionen zu den sich neu strukturierenden regionalen und lokalen Öffentlichkeiten. Zudem werden Handlungsspielräume auf regionaler und lokaler Ebene im Kontext der Erlasse und Gesetze bestimmt. Auf der Basis lokaler Fallstudien werden grundlegende Konfliktkonstellationen erörtert und jene Institutionen und Gruppen untersucht, welche die Konstellationen und Verlaufsformen der Konflikte maßgeblich bestimmten.
