content: This folder contains four folders related to different aspects of Karp's work on various modes of violence and conflict, particularly wife beating. "KARP1" is the text for a paper or presentation called "Violence and Exaggeration in Some Iteso Collective Representations." Written in the manner of an oral presentation, it discusses and analyzes various modes of representation and meanings of violence, using Iteso examples. "KARP 2" is a fragment of that text. "Parkin" is a telling passage, presumably from David Parkin, about the nature of violence. "DomesticViolence_Table" is a comparative chart for three East African societies – Iteso, Bukusa and Kuria – showing how they compare across a range of variables. This would have been related to Karp's research on Iteso domestic violence in relation to economic and labor cycles and economic change.
