Incidents and patterns of violence against parents, understood as any act by children that intimidates or harms the parents, have gained an increasingly high profile in recent years. But while it is commonly portrayed as a modern phenomenon rooted in a perceived crisis of family policies, parenting styles or communication problems, recent research into the history of domestic violence has documented the nature, extent, and contexts within which parent abuse and parricide occurred in the early modern period in Northern Europe and beyond. This workshop studies the forms and methods of intra-family violence from the origins of modern states' formation unto the present day. It aims to map out the state of the art of the research on family violence and especially on violence by children against their parents, to bring together the current specialists, to compare early modern and current ideas and to suggest further points of research. The main research themes include attitudes to family power relations and hierarchies, permissibility of the usage of violence in the family, forms and types of violence against parents, gender-based analysis of violence against parents, patricides and matricides.

This is the second, concluding workshop organised by the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils for the Humanities and the Social Sciences as part of a wider Marie Curie funded project on parricide held by Prof. Marianna Muravyeva. The first workshop, on the "Nordic Family, Violence and Modernity" met in Tampere 22-24 Mary 2014 and focused on the concepts and challenges of family and family violence in early modern and modern Northern Europe (project webpage).
