Perpetrators Alone and Together

This chapter studies the etiologies of genocide and mass atrocity and argues that self-exhibitionism provides a theoretical basis for interpreting the macabresque as a discrete phenomenon in mass atrocity violence. It also engages social constructionism in group dynamics through the concept of prototypicality. The chapter provides a critique of methodological simulation in social and political psychology, specifically, findings that emphasize obeisance, obedience, and obsequiousness found in the works of Milgram, Zimbardo, and others. It also provides a critical survey of a wide range of theoretical perspectives on collective violence, mass atrocity, and war to demonstrate their methodological inadequacies and analytical frailties in the absence of a sustained focus on emotional psychology and the psychodynamics of desire. The analysis introduces the concept of akrasia and akratic willfulness in order to outline a theory of absolute power.
