Victimhood: Its construction, contestation, and positioning

During transitional justice processes, one of the main objectives is to recognise the injustices suffered by people, who are considered as victims, to change the structures that allowed those injustices to take place. However, the notion of victim is not only legal, but also social and political. The lectures in this panel discuss meanings and uses of victimhood in the Irish and Algerian contexts.
