The origins of genocide have been sought by scholars in many areas of human experience: politics, religion, culture, economics, demography, ideology. All these of course are valid explanations, and go a long way to getting to grips with the objective conditions surrounding genocide. But, as Berel Lang put it some time ago, there remains an inexplicable gap between the idea and the act of mass murder. This article aims to be a step towards bridging that gap by adding a human dimension to the existing explanations. Building on Roger Caillois’s anthropological analysis of ‘war as festival’, Georges Bataille’s concept of society’s ‘excess energy’, and Emile Durkheim’s idea of ‘collective effervescence’, and connecting these terms to those used explicitly in relation to the Holocaust by Dominick LaCapra (‘scapegoating’ and the ‘carnivalesque’) and Saul Friedl‰nder (‘Rausch’ or ‘ecstasy’), I argue that prior to and during any act of genocide there occurs a heightening of community feeling, to the point at which this ecstatic sense of belonging permits, indeed demands, a normally forbidden act of transgression in order to ‘safeguard’ the community by killing the designated ‘threatening’ group. This article is a theoretical starting point aimed at stimulating discussion, in which I refer to the Nanjing and My Lai massacres and the genocides in Nazi Germany and Rwanda to show where empirical research is needed to illustrate this concept of ‘genocide as transgression’.

“…For a generation of international feminists, wartime sexualized violence in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and later Kosovo during the Yugoslav wars would come to stand as the extreme example of nationalism and patriarchy in action. 29 Less often discussed, but just as important for understanding gender, violence and power during the Yugoslav wars, were the matters of sexualized violence against men and of wartime/post-war increases in domestic violence. 30 Yet gender and nationalism were not just 1990s questions; the whole century testified to the gendering of ethnicity and nationhood, especially in wartime.…”

“…Un ejemplo paradigmático de esto son las reiteradas investigaciones realizadas con mujeres que han sido víctimas de violencia sexual en el marco del conflicto Bosnia-Herzegovina (1991-1995 en la antigua Yugoslavia (Lindsey, 2002). Rose Lindsey, una investigadora especialista en temas de violencia contra las mujeres, cuestiona estos estudios y señala que en el afán de difundir y repudiar estas violaciones se ha descuidado a las víctimas y se han dejado de lado cuestiones éticas básicas como la protección de estas mujeres, el resguardo de la confidencialidad de sus testimonios y el respeto de su privacidad 6 .…”

“…En algunos casos, señala la autora, las publicaciones realizadas con base a los testimonios de las mujeres tenían tantos detalles que rozaban con la pornografía (se describía la posición en las que las mujeres habían sido violadas, el lenguaje usado por los violadores, etc.). Algunas de estas investigadoras eran reconocidas académicas y feministas, lo cual pone de manifiesto la importancia de proteger y asegurar el respeto de cuestiones éticas básicas más allá incluso del compromiso que el investigador o investigadora pueda tener con la causa que está investigando (Lindsey, 2002). He denominado nuevas generaciones de la vulnerabilidad a un conjunto de propuestas que se caracterizan por intentar poner en cuestión los conceptos anteriores y crear uno nuevo, y generar así una proliferación -a veces correctamente fundamentada y otras veces no-de conceptos de vulnerabilidad (Santi, 2014b).…”

O objetivo deste artigo é abordar a problemática da inclusão de pessoas e grupos vulneráveis nas pesquisas sociais. Nos últimos anos, tem-se aumentado a literatura dedicada à análise do conceito de vulnerabilidade no contexto da investigação biomédica. No entanto, no campo específico da investigação em ciências sociais continua a ser um tema pouco abordado, na bibliografia especializada como nas guias éticas, embora que muitas pesquisas sociais, envolvem a pessoas e grupos muitos vulneráveis.Neste artigo vai-se reconstruir, em primeiro lugar, como foi a abordagem do conceito de vulnerabilidade nos documentos com maior destaque de bioética e ética da pesquisa. Após, serão apresentadas as perspectivas mais significativas sobre a vulnerabilidade na ética da investigação biomédica e social, e vão-se sinalizar os alcances e limitações destes. Finalmente, será apresentado um conceito de vulnerabilidade que pode ser mais apropriado para a análise ética das investigações sociais que os conceitos atuais.The purpose of this article is to address the issue of the inclusion of vulnerable individuals and groups in social sciences research. In recent years has increased the bibliography devoted to analyze the concept of vulnerability in biomedical research. However, in the specific field of social sciences research remains a topic rarely addressed in specialized bibliography and ethical guidelines, although much of the social research involves extremely vulnerable individuals and groups.In this article I will analyze, in the first place, how it has been addressed the concept of vulnerability in the most important guidelines of bioethics and research ethics. Then, I will present the main perspectives on vulnerability in biomedical and social research ethics; and I will point out the scope and limitations of these perspectives. Towards the end of the article I will develop a concept of vulnerability more suitable for the ethical analysis of social research than the current concepts.El propósito de este artículo es abordar la problemática de la inclusión de personas y grupos vulnerables en las investigaciones sociales.
