As the world negotiates immense loss and questions of how to
memorialize, the contributions in this volume evaluate the role of
culture as a means to promote reconciliation, either between
formerly warring parties, perpetrators and survivors, governments
and communities, or within the self. Post-Conflict Memorialization:
Missing Memorials, Absent Bodies reflects on a distinct aspect of
mourning work: the possibility to move towards recovery, while in a
period of grief, waiting, silence, or erasure. Drawing on
ethnographic data and archival material from Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Argentina, Palestine, Israel, Wales, Peru, Colombia, Hungary,
Chile, Pakistan, and India, the authors analyze how memorialization
and commemoration is practiced by communities who have experienced
trauma and violence, while in the absence of memorials, mutual
acknowledgement, and the bodies of the missing. This timely volume
will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students,
postdoctoral researchers, and scholars with an interest in memory
studies, sociology, history, politics, conflict, and peace studies
