This book examines the role of post-conflict memorial arts in
bringing about gender justice in transitional societies. Art and
post-violence memorialisation are currently widely debated.
Scholars of human rights and of commemorative arts discuss the
aesthetics and politics not only of sites of commemoration, but of
literature, poetry, visual arts and increasingly, film and comics.
Art, memory and activism are also increasingly intertwined. But
within the literature around post-conflict transitional justice and
critical human rights studies, there is little questioning about
what memorial arts do for gender justice, how women and men are
included and represented, and how this intertwines with other
questions of identity and representation, such as race and
ethnicity. The book brings together research from scholars around
the world who are interested in the gendered dimensions of
memory-making in transitional societies. Addressing a global range
of cases, including genocide, authoritarianism, civil war,
electoral violence and apartheid, they consider not only the
gendered commemoration of past violence, but also the possibility
of producing counter-narratives that unsettle and challenge
established stereotypes. Aimed at those interested in the fields of
transitional justice, memory studies, post-conflict peacebuilding,
human rights and gender studies, this book will appeal to
academics, researchers and practitioners.
