| Sumario: | This volume deals with the political, legal and cultural issue of the recognition and denial of mass violence. But instead of dealing with the issue in general, it focuses on a specific issue, the one that arose at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, with recognizable anticipations already in the previous decade and even more impressive fallout in the following decades. This historical and political entrenchment is the topic of the first part of the book. Which revolves around two closely associated questions. First, and foremost: what can explain the emergence of a new sensibility for “mass violence” (past and present) starting in the 1980s and 1990s - but with significant and, arguably, decisive precedents already in the previous decade? And what made this rewriting of the memory of the past and this growing sensitivity to the mass violence of the present take the characteristic form they have taken, structuring themselves around the three typical subjectivities of victim, perpetrator and savior? Instead, the second part of the volume turns to some historical cases of this post-twentieth-century reworking of the recognition and denial of mass violence, different from each other not only in historical location but also in the ways in which they rethink the past. |
