- Zusatztext
- This volume inscribes an innovative domain of inquiry, bringing museum and heritage studies to bear on questions of transitional justice, memory and post-conflict reconciliation. As practitioners, artists, curators, activists and academics, the contributors explore the challenges of bearing witness to past conflicts.
- Kurztext
- Many of the exhibitions discussed are very recentIt presents a set of very high-quality, in-depth, mutually interrogating chaptersNot only do the chapters present different examples, they also introduce different sets of theoretical concepts and ideas with which to investigate and tackle questions of the consequences of 'difficult knowledge' and how it is best tackled in the public sphereThe book covers a broad range of countries and some of the most significant and contested cases e.g. post-apartheid South Africa, as well as less often discussed cases such as that of the memory of internal war in Peru
