Politics of Memory
The course pursues two complementary goals. First, it tends to give a clear picture of the theoretical approaches to memory politics. In this regard, the course underlines analytical tools to understand the articulation between the “weight of the past” and the political “use of the past”. Second, the course questions the concrete practices that are at the intersection between politics and memory. To do so, each section of the course examines specific tensions, dilemmas, or even contradictions faced by practitioners in the aftermath of international and intercommunity conflicts (be they official representatives, NGO workers involved in conflict resolution or transitional justice, or representatives of victims’ associations).
