Oregon Review of International Law<\/p>\n

Call for papers<\/p>\n

Political violence, state terror, exceptionalism, and the traumatic effects of war are subjects of vibrant interdisciplinary debate. Social historians, anthropologists, scholars of humanitarian intervention, forced migration, international criminal law, literary critics, and documentary film-makers have long been concerned with describing and regulating the effects of torture, violence, and widespread human rights violations. Building on its past history in Nuremberg, the field of international criminal law has been reinvigorated by an increasing focus on accountability and punishment for the perpetrators of \u201ccrimes of hate\/crimes of state.\u201d In an associated vein, post-conflict states have privileged truth commissions as a vehicle for emerging democracies to redress past harms, claim reparations, and construct a lasting peace. However, other non-official forms of truth-telling and bearing witness are also important. The agenda setting stage of truth commissions represents a political opportunity for under-represented, oppressed, and discriminated sectors of a society to make their grievances heard. Sexual violations and gender-based violence have been paramount in the truth commission process, and currently occupy much of the terrain of international criminal law jurisprudence. But how do the survivors of mass atrocity make sense of their past? How do the perpetrators deal with reconciliation and reintegration? How do citizens and former combatants live with everyday forms of state and non-state brutality in post-conflict zones? How does the trend toward amnesty and reconciliation create, influence, and distort historical memory? What temporal illusion occurs when we neatly cordon off times of war from times of fragile peace? What are the prospects for future relationships infused with memories of violence and terror?<\/p>\n

We seek to address these and other questions by bringing together a group of interdisciplinary scholars whose work sheds light on the intricate connection between war and memory in Africa and Latin America. These questions that animate this symposium on War and Memory build upon the Oregon Review of International Law\u2019s previous gatherings that have provided a space for critical yet constructive voices in international law. Whereas War and Memory will interrogate \u201ctime with a retrospective lens,\u201d previous symposia have investigated notions of space and scale and the confluence of Human Rights and the Environment. War and Memory carry on ORIL\u2019s critical tradition evidenced in \u201cThird World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL): Capitalism and the Common Good.\u201d<\/p>\n
