Synopsis

Post-conflict cultures are defined by the different ways (practices, texts, behaviours, rituals) in which they re-write, re-constitute, and work through their contrasting, abused, competing memories and traumas. Bringing together academic experts and leading practitioners from a variety of cultural, literary and sociological disciplines, The Genres of Post-Conflict Testimonies investigates how cultures are influenced and transformed after conflict by looking at testimony as a particular practice of representation. The book examines the many genres of testimonies which have not only been used, but also created and re-created, when the urgent need is to bear witness to violence. It will be of direct interest to scholars and practitioners working in international relations, politics, literary and cultural studies, peace studies and human rights.
