The re-assesment of transitional justice as both an institutional craft and a system
of knowledge has been ongoing for sometime now. The Arts of Transitional Justice:
Culture, Activism and Memory After Atrocity contributes to this revaluation by focusing
on the prevalence of art and aesthetic practices in the various domains and institutions
of transitional justice. Interdisciplinary in approach, this volume provides personal
and intellectual contributions by literary and cultural critics, legal scholars, artists
and activists as well as policy experts. It ranges across theatre, public art installations,
literary fiction and public protest, poems and film, photography, museums, monuments
and body art. How are these cultural performances used in the practices of transitional
justice? What can and do they tell us about the discourses of transitional justice,
and their representations of the cultural and social transformations of post-conflict
societies? How do they provide provide a forum and idiom through which survivors of
atrocity can have their voices heard, can tell their story, as well as evaluate and
reflect on the transitional justice mechanisms in their society? This volume seeks
to understand the significant and plural role that artists, works of art and more
broadly aesthetic performances have played in societies in transition. Among the topics
covered are: Cultural intervention and the imagination of peace and transition Education,
photography and fictional narratives after Genocide Memory, performance and trauma
Public protest, public art and cities in transformation The role of theatre in healing
in Afghanistan, Serbia and beyond Diasporic communities and the artefacts of lives
recalled The reception of artworks by survivors of atrocity The dilemmas of transitional
justice scholarship and the feeling for justice With its global and detailed case
studies approach, The Arts of Transitional Justice is a significant resource for those
interested in the role of the arts in responding to the multidimensional legacies
of atrocity as well as those interested in the transformation of transitional justice.
In coming to terms with the past and setting the terms and conditions of a different
future, it engages the plural idioms of accountability and responsibility, memory
and trauma, justice and the rhetoric of transition after atrocity
