ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I present my thesis along three conceptual axes, which connect certain key ideas that I have touched on so far. In elaborating on these three conceptual axes, I will be serving my overarching aim, which I specified in the first chapter, which was to not necessarily find a solution to the problem of violence but merely to retranslate the social, personal and cultural impact of violence into a linguistic-pragmatic discourse. The three axes are public-embodied existence, the grammar of life form and memory and language. Also, I talk about how we need to engage with the different contexts in our everyday lives. Only by doing this this will we be able to understand why violence happens.
