Summary |
Much of the literature on post-violent contexts addresses problems of transitional justice, memory studies, and post-conflict reconciliation.€This volume inscribes an innovative domain of inquiry, situating itself creatively amidst these discussions but building upon the literatures of museum and heritage studies.€The contributors (themselves€practitioners, artists, curators, activists and academics) draw from a broad range of geographical and theoretical material, €and€explore new ways of bearing witness vis-a-vis curatorial practice, heritage work and memorializing the past, to examine the challenges and limitations of such endeavors |
