ABSTRACT
This chapter, “Mapping Violence,” aims to chart the different manifestations of represented violence on stage discussed in the previous chapters. This chart, without pretending to be exhaustive, offers a succinct guide on staged violence that covers most of its possible declinations. In attempting to establish a map of the various uses of violence, there is a risk of flattening the density and intricacy of the argument. While Chapters 1–4 sought to examine all conceivable effects and implications of violence, this chapter aims to reduce these various aspects into labelled phenomena. I hope the reader can tolerate such a process and perhaps find in this practice of encapsulating events into a map the possibility of gaining new insights. The chart aims to easily spot the different mechanisms related to violence and offer a clear spectrum of phenomena connected with staged violence.
