Violence, Justice, and the Work of Memory
International Journal of Conflict and Violence focus section
CfP deadline: 28 February 2013
Deadline for expressions of interest: 26 October 2012
This IJCV Focus Section seeks to bring together papers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds (including but not limited to history, political science, anthropology, political philosophy, law, psychology, and sociology) and fields of study (memory studies, peace and conflict studies, transitional justice studies) to explore the role of memory in post-conflict contexts. Our aim is to shed light on the ways that memory is generated and challenged in transitional justice processes, and more broadly, on the relationships between memory and recognition, memory and historical truth, and memory and repair. We aim to feature a broad range of case studies, but welcome also papers concerned with methodological or theoretical issues, rather than with specific cases.
