Call for paper
In the 5th century BC, Chinese military general Sun Tzu stated that theonly true enemy is fear. Fear, which mostly originates from worries about unknown and foreign impulses, can have a variety of faces. The individualor collective perception of threat led to the exclusion of certain social, religious, and ethnic groups as the ”source of evil“ during the centuries.
How is the personification of fear created? What forms embodied the image of the enemy in Eastern Europe? Was it always the concrete individual or group of people, or were the abstract forms of evil indeed presented? In what ways were the wars, epidemics, pogroms, and faminesreflected in the perception of fear?
