Silence is crucial to our social world. Responding to the growing
scholarly interest in social sciences and humanities for more
in-depth engagements with social silence, this book explores what
it means to trace silences and to include traces of silences in our
scholarly representations. What qualifies as silence, and how does
it relate to articulation, to voice, visibility and representation?
How can silences be sensed and experienced viscerally as well as
narratively? And how do we think with and interpret silences in the
face of potential unknowability? Grounded in ethnographic research
in the Netherlands, Israel, Turkey, China, and Indonesia, the
chapters all contribute to a theorization of silence that embraces
multivocality, unintelligibility and uncertainty of interpretation.
As a collection of cutting-edge scholarly work at the intersection
of anthropology and history, Tracing Silences argues for an
in-depth engagement with the unspeakable and unspoken, through a
range of modes and methods, and in the historical, social, and
political ways in which they emerge and are enacted in the
particularities of people's lives. This book will be of interest to
scholars and students of history, anthropology, sociology,
political science and archival studies. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of History and
Anthropology.
This book is a critical response to a range of problems – some
theoretical, others empirical – that shape questions surrounding
the lived experience of suffering. It explores how moral and
ethical questions of personal suffering are experienced, contested,
negotiated and institutionalised. Bodies and Suffering investigates
the moral labour and significance invested in actions to care for
others, or in failing to do so. It also explores circumstances –
personal, political and social – under which that which is
perceived as non-moral becomes moral. Drawing on case studies and
empirical research, Bodies and Suffering examines the idea of the
suffering body across different cultures and contexts and the
experience and treatment of these suffering bodies. The book draws
on theories of affect, embodiment, the phenomenology of illness and
moralities of care, to produce a nuanced understanding of suffering
as being located across the assumed borders of time, space, bodies,
persons and things. Suitable for bioethicists, medical
anthropologists, health sociologists and body studies scholars,
Bodies and Suffering will also be of use on health science courses
as essential reading on suffering bodies, mental health and
morality and ethics issues.
This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to chart how various
forms of violence - domestic, military, legal and political - are
not separate instances of violence, but rather embedded in
structural inequalities brought about by colonialism, occupation
and state violence. The book explores both case studies of
individuals and of groups to examine experiences of violence within
the context of gender and structures of power in modern Indonesian
history and Indonesia-related diasporas. It argues that gendered
violence is particularly important to consider in this region
because of its complex history of armed conflict and authoritarian
rule, the diversity of people that have been affected by violence,
as well as the complexity of the religious and cultural communities
involved. The book focuses in particular on textual narratives of
violence, visualisations of violence, commemorations of violence
and the politics of care.
