Human remains and identification presents a pioneering
investigation into the practices and methodologies used in the
search for and exhumation of dead bodies resulting from mass
violence. Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists
and historians here confront historical and contemporary
exhumations with the application of social context to create an
innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue, enlightening the
political, social and legal aspects of mass crime and its
aftermaths. Through a ground-breaking selection of international
case studies, Human remains and identification argues that the
emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of
dead bodies has led to a "forensic turn", normalising exhumations
as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are
these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons?
Multidisciplinary in scope, this book will appeal to readers
interested in understanding this crucial phase of mass violence's
aftermath, including researchers in history, anthropology,
sociology, forensic science, law, politics and modern warfare. The
research program leading to this publication has received funding
from the European Research Council under the European Union's
Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n
Degrees 283-617. -- .
