Beyond Despair
Winner, Prix Pierre Lafue Winner, Prix lycéen du livre d’histoire des Rendez-vous de l’histoire de Blois In the archives of the main institution in charge of the history and memory of the genocide in Rwanda, several bundles of fragile little school notebooks contain, in the silence of accumulated dust, the stories of around a hundred surviving children. Written in 2006 at the initiative of a Rwandan survivors’ association, as a testimonial and psychological catharsis, these accounts by children who have since become young men and women tell the story of their experience of the genocide, as well as of “life before” and “life after.” The words of these children, the cruel realis...
Navigating Cultural Memory
"A friend of mine asked me to accompany him to visit a young woman in her twenties named Kayitesi. At the time, in April 2007, Kayitesi lived in rural Kigali with two siblings. Kayitesi's parents and many of her relatives were killed during the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994. The genocide took place in the central and eastern African country of Rwanda when radical Hutu youth militias and Hutu political elites targeted and killed the Tutsi for about three months, between April and July. The Hutus and some foreigners who protected the Tutsi or opposed the genocidal violence were also killed"--
Rwanda Since 1994
Over the past 25 years, Rwanda has undergone remarkable shifts and transitions: culturally, economically, and educationally the country has gone from strength to strength. While much scholarship has understandably been retrospective, seeking to understand, document and commemorate the Genocide against the Tutsi, this volume gathers diverse perspectives on the changing social and cultural fabric of Rwanda since 1994. Rwanda Since 1994 considers the context of these changes, particularly in relation to the ongoing importance of remembering and in wider developments in the Great Lakes and East Africa regions. Equally it explores what stories of change are emerging from Rwanda: creative writing ...
Rwanda After Genocide
Drawing on Rwandan genocide survivor testimonies, this book offers a new approach to psychological trauma that considers both the positive and negative consequences.
Spirited Histories
Spirited Histories combines ethnography with critical theory to provide a sophisticated exploration of the intersection of haunting and the paranormal with technology, media, and history. Retrieving the past in places of trauma and death can take on many facets. One of these is an attention to hauntings, ghosts, and absences that go with the collective experience of loss and disappearance. People memorialize the dead and their stories in myriad ways. But what about the untold stories, or the forgotten, unnamed? This book explores the ways groups of Chilean paranormal investigators and ghost tour operators produce alternate histories using paranormal machinery, rather than simply theatricalizing pain. It offers a look at technologies, machines, and apparatuses – themselves imbued with a long history of supernatural and scientific expectations – and a social analysis of how certain groups of people marshal the voices of the dead to generate particular micro-histories. This fascinating volume will be of interest to a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies, and scholars of technology and new media.
Les Mots se regardent
Comment s'ouvrir à la compléxité du langage? Comment interroger réciproquement ses mots et ses maux, dans une perspective clinique? L'objectif de ce document audiovisuel et du livret qui l'accompagne est d'initier à une démarche d'observation et de questionnement cliniques sur le langage en sciences de l'homme.
Les Mythologies individuelles
La mythologie individuelle surgit au 20e siècle en même temps que le culte du moi. En hybridant récit de soi et photographie, l’individu moderne met en scène l’histoire de son identité. Le terme apparaît d’abord dans le monde de l’art lorsque Harald Szeemann désigne sous ce nom les œuvres de Christian Boltanski et Jean Le Gac. Mais les photo-récits autobio¬gra¬phiques ont marqué tout l’imaginaire du 20e siècle, de Nadja d’André Breton aux aventures de Sophie Calle, en passant par le consacré album de famille. Caractérisé par l’écriture fragmentaire, l’archive et sa dimension intime, ce dispositif narratif en images conduit à reconsidérer le rôle de Mythologies de Roland Barthes dans ce processus de construction de soi par l’image. Cet essai retrace la généalogie, l’invention et la diffusion d’une nouvelle façon de se raconter qui interroge directement la représentation de l’identité depuis l’apparition de la photographie.
