Narrating Victimhood presented by Alina Giesen
Abstract:
Narratives of victimhood are often central to the stories told by family members of forcibly disappeared persons about their absent loved ones. How do these family members narrate victimhood through the
memory work they engage in and as they are seeking truth and justice? What can we learn from this narration about how memory is shaped and negotiated in the aftermath of forced disappearance? Alina Giesen presents some of the findings from her research.Details:
