It ranges across theatre, public art installations, literary fiction and public protest, poems and film, photography, museums, monuments and body art. How are these cultural performances used in the practices of transitional justice? What can and do they tell us about the discourses of transitional justice, and their representations of the cultural and social transformations of post-conflict societies? How do they provide provide a forum and idiom through which survivors of atrocity can have their voices heard, can tell their story, as well as evaluate and reflect on the transitional justice mechanisms in their society? </p><p>This volume seeks to understand the significant and plural role that artists, works of art and more broadly aesthetic performances have played in societies in transition. Among the topics covered are: </p><ul><li>Cultural intervention and the imagination of peace and transition</li><li>Education, photography and fictional narratives after Genocide </li><li>Memory, performance and trauma</li><li>Public protest, public art and cities in transformation</li><li>The role of theatre in healing in Afghanistan, Serbia and beyond</li><li>Diasporic communities and the artefacts of lives recalled</li><li>The reception of artworks by survivors of atrocity </li><li>The dilemmas of transitional justice scholarship and the feeling for justice</li></ul><p>With its global and detailed case studies approach, <i>The Arts of Transitional Justice </i>is a significant resource for those interested in the role of the arts in responding to the multidimensional legacies of atrocity as well as those interested in the transformation of transitional justice. In coming to terms with the past and setting the terms and conditions of a different future, it engages the plural idioms of accountability and responsibility, memory and trauma, justice and the rhetoric of transition after atrocity.</p>
