Subject outline
How do societies deal with atrocity and its aftermath? In this subject, students are introduced to the manifold ways in which societies have faced atrocities and mass violence, including criminal trials (domestic and international), truth commissions, lustration and art works. By examining a number of case studies from across the globe, students are invited to critically reflect of the difficulties in notions of truth, representation and justice. Focus is on both the theories and the practices of justice mechanisms with the aim of providing students with a well-grounded understanding of the precarious path to justice.
