The successful lecture series \u201cLaw and Violence in Cinema\u201d of the Cluster of Excellence \u201cThe Formation of Normative Orders\u201d will be continued in the coming summer semester. This time, the focus will be on the most common or at least most expected reaction to the violent violation of the law. That a crime must be followed by a punishment seems to be an unquestionable, self-evident norm in almost all societies past and present. Even if it is not always, and in some cases rarely, fulfilled, its abolition would trigger massive fears and insecurity. Film is one of the artistic media that can be used to question this taken-for-grantedness on the basis of individual cases and stories, or at least to show how tortuous, conflict-ridden, uncertain, lengthy and contradictory the path from crime to punishment can be, and what happens to the people involved along the way. Even if the villain gets what he deserves at the end of the movie plot, the better films at least leave their viewers with food for thought. The films selected here are able to achieve this with stories about sinister or monstrous criminals, about government and war crimes and about the coincidence that prevents punishment in the end. <\/p>\n\n
