This book outlines for the first time in a single volume the
theoretical and methodological tools for a study of human remains
resulting from episodes of mass violence and genocide. Despite the
highly innovative and contemporary research into both mass violence
and the body, the most significant consequence of conflict - the
corpse - remains absent from the scope of existing research. Why
have human remains hitherto remained absent from our investigation,
and how do historians, anthropologists and legal scholars,
including specialists in criminology and political science,
confront these difficult issues? By drawing on international case
studies including genocides in Rwanda, the Khmer Rouge, Argentina,
Russia and the context of post-World War II Europe, this
ground-breaking edited collection opens new avenues of research.
Multidisciplinary in scope, this volume will appeal to readers
interested in an understanding of mass violence's aftermath,
including researchers in history, anthropology, sociology, 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. -- .
