This book provides case-studies of how teachers and practitioners
have attempted to develop more effective 'experiential learning'
strategies in order to better equip students for their voluntary
engagements in communities, working for sustainable peace and a
tolerant society free of discrimination. All chapters revolve
around this central theme, testing and trying various paradigms and
experimenting with different practices, in a wide range of
geographical and historical arenas. They demonstrate the innovative
potentials of connecting know-how from different disciplines and
combining experiences from various practitioners in this field of
shaping historical memory, including non-formal and formal sectors
of education, non-governmental workers, professionals from memorial
sites and museums, local and global activists, artists, and engaged
individuals. In so doing, they address the topic of collective
historical traumas in ways that go beyond conventional classroom
methods. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book provides a
combination of theoretical reflections and concrete pedagogical
suggestions that will appeal to educators working across history,
sociology, political science, peace education and civil awareness
education, as well as memory activists and remembrance
practitioners.
This book grapples with the potential impacts of collective trauma
in war-rape survivors' families. Drawing on inter-ethnic and
inter-generational participatory action research on reconciliation
processes in post-conflict Bosnia-Herzegovina, the author examines
the risk that female survivors of war-related sexual crimes,
now-mothers, will breed hatred and further division in the
post-conflict context. Showing how the historical trauma of sexual
abuse among survivors affects the ideas, perceptions, behavioural
patterns and understandings of the ethnic and religious 'Other' or
perpetrator, the book also considers the influence of such trauma
on other attitudes rarely addressed in peacebuilding programmes,
such as notions of naturalised gender-based violence, cultural
scripts of sexuality and support for dangerous or violent aspects
of the patriarchal social order. It thus seeks to sketch proposals
for a curriculum of peacebuilding that takes account of the legacy
of war rape in survivors' families and the impact of trauma
transmission. As such, Trauma Transmission and Sexual Violence will
appeal to scholars of politics, sociology and gender studies with
interests in peace and reconciliation processes and war-related
sexual violence.

This book examines the potential impact of rape survivors'
traumatic experiences in post-conflict zones. With specific
attention given to the experiences of women who were sexually
abused during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, it addresses
the sexuality of survivors, which has so far been inadequately
researched, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images
and narrations that have so far prevailed in academic and public
discourse about women survivors while exploring the effects of
those narratives on the political, social and economic status of
the survivors themselves. Methodologically innovative, the book
questions the processes of re-victimization that can follow
fieldwork with survivors and introduces the theoretical and
practical foundations of applied drama and community theater as a
research approach in this field, revealing its potential as a means
of expressing a range of ethnographic, anthropological and
case-study research findings. Based on the narratives of advocates,
scholars and different social stakeholders, together with new
drama-based methodologies employed directly with survivors,
Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research
offers a sensitive and ethically-responsible research approach to
contesting assumptions about the sexualities of survivors of sexual
violence and revealing the emancipatory potential of testifying.
This book will appeal to scholars of sociology and gender studies,
victimology and sexuality.
