This book focuses on the ethical, aesthetic, and scholarly
dimensions of how genocide-related works of art, documentary films,
poetry and performance, museums and monuments, music, dance, image,
law, memory narratives, spiritual bonds, and ruins are translated
and take place as translations of acts of genocide. It shows how
genocide-related modes of representation are acts of translation
which displace and produce memory and acts of remembrance of
genocidal violence as inheritance of the past in a future present.
Thus, the possibility of representation is examined in light of
what remains in the aftermath where the past and the future are
inseparable companions and we find the idea of the
untranslatability in acts of genocide. By opening up both the past
and lived experiences of genocidal violence as and through multiple
acts of translation, this volume marks a heterogeneous turn towards
the future, and one which will be of interest to all scholars and
students of memory and genocide studies, transitional justice,
sociology, psychology, and social anthropology.
