Wilke is available to discuss the terms that have been used for political violence, such as terrorism, and how the use of these terms has been shaped by political ideologies and ideas about which kind of people are innately violent.
Wilke’s research examines how people deal with massive violence and how they talk about violence in legal categories. Her research projects include investigations into how criminal trials of state repression in Argentina and Germany helped to create certain imaginaries of perpetrators and responsibility, of law and legality, and of suffering and victimhood; as well as a project that investigates how people made specific forms of violence such as bombing, genocide and enforced disappearances visible to international law.
