Résumé :

Between 1960 – 1996, civil war waged in Guatemala. During the conflict an estimated 45,000 people were disappeared, abducted from their homes, public streets, and buildings by members of the military, the National Police force, and government sanctioned death squads, and never seen again. Owing to the clandestine nature of this form of violence, families of the disappeared were left in a perpetual state of uncertainty, not knowing where their loved ones had been taken or if they were still alive. Following the end of the conflict, little was done by governments to try and answer these questions or to recover the remains of the disappeared. Those who had power and influence during the civil war, both individuals and institutions, largely maintained their status in its aftermath and chose to forget the past rather than discuss it. This thesis examines how, in light of the liminal status of the disappeared and the absence of a meaningful regime change, the disappeared have been memorialised in post-conflict Guatemala. This thesis discusses a variety of forms of memorial, focussing on those created by individuals and groups who believe the violence of the past should be remembered. It identifies a number of recurring themes - Contest, Recover, Informing, and Grief - that exist in these memorials for the disappeared, and explores how and why they have been expressed.

Résumé :

This dissertation surveys effaced bodies and the complications and victories left in their wake. While the recent `material turn' in media studies has produced valuable insight into the history of media artifacts and forms (as well as their contemporary progeny), the centrality of writing practices and inscription technologies in such scholarship has generated a rather ironic critical blind spot as regards the corresponding phenomenon of erasure. As inscription and erasure are co-constitutive forces that can only exist through ongoing encounters with one another, it is necessary--if we are to understand mechanical writing in all of its intricacy--to also keep in mind the parallel act of erasure and what has been lost or effaced as a result of the modern drive to write and record the world in so many ways. As such, this project considers three moments of erasure--or, scenes of deletion--between the periods of 1850 and 1950 in which the body serves as the site or object of effacement. In addition to carving out a secret route through which to explore the body's intersection with media technology (and the increasing mutability that has befallen it as a result of this association), this project also throws light on practices and technologies of erasure that have, themselves, become subject to deletion from the evolving historical record. The first case study considers the neglected pre-history of Photoshop by elaborating the retouching practices that grew up alongside the camera during the nineteenth century. It argues that such practices worked to erect a visible difference between the portrait of the criminal and that of his genteel counterpart, thereby helping to secure the class privilege of the latter at a time when the `democratic' representational style of the camera threatened to undo it. The second study explores the feminine `container' technology of military camouflage from its origins in World War I as a means of concealing the body of the soldier to its re-invention in the twenty-first century as a strategy for covering over the ongoing danger of war and impotence of hi-technology in postmodern scrimmages against non-state actors. This chapter ultimately builds upon Friedrich Kittler's argument that war is the mother of all media by suggesting that the dialectical tension between camouflage and the optical devices designed to thwart it is the mother of all war. The final case study turns to the breezier technology of the television laugh track and its erasure of the live studio audience from both the production process and the television text. It argues that while the laugh track's erasure of the audience left an irreducible trace that manifested itself in the repetition of the laughter dotting the text, the new formal devices that have come to replace the machine's original functions deftly efface their logic in a way that makes them unrecognizable as the offspring of the maligned technology.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This interdisciplinary thesis explores a key issue in the 'dealing with the past debate' in Northern Ireland - the response to the ‘disappeared'. The responses of a number of key constituencies are analysed. The Republican Movement's framing of the 'disappeared' is examined. It is contended that Republican engagement in the search process is symbolic of the 'Movement's' transition away from violence. The families of the ‘disappeared' are considered as an example of a grassroots movement 'doing' transitional justice. Drawing from the social movement literature, the evolution of the families' campaign for the recovery of their loved ones is examined. In the local communities in which these ‘disappearances' occurred, it is argued that rumour, silence, and whispers of the truth created significant barriers for families. The thesis also explores the role of the state, looking at the 'policing' of the issue and examining the introduction, operation and legacy of the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR). The latter part of this thesis uses the issue of the ‘disappeared’ and the responses to it as a prism through which to explore a number of themes relevant to transitional justice. It is contended that a version of 'quiet' transitional justice on this issue helped create a less politicised space that facilitated progress, and has wider implications for the building of trust. The place of apology and acknowledgement is explored, as is the limited ‘truth' that has been established. The thesis also explores the politicisation of the memory of the 'disappeared'. This thesis concludes with an analysis of the utility of the ICLVR as the basis for the Independent Commission on Information Retrieval (IGIR) as outlined in the Stormont House Agreement. It examines what broader lessons are relevant for the ICIR, and for dealing with the past in Northern Ireland more generally.

Cruz-Santiago, Arely. « Forensic citizens : the politics of searching for disappeared persons in Mexico ». Thesis, Durham University, 2017. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12315/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

In Mexico, thousands of people have disappeared since 2006 due to the so-called ‘War on Drugs’. The government has been unable or unwilling to search and identify many of the disappeared, so families have organised their own searches to locate their loved ones. Through a one year ethnography conducted with relatives searching for their disappeared persons in Mexico, this thesis advances a feminist forensics that not only takes into account attacks inflicted on women, or the lack of female contributions to scientific production, but also looks at Mexico’s disappeared and the contribution their relatives are making to forensic knowledge. The practices, conceptions and struggles of these relatives of disappeared persons reveal the politics of forensic science practice amidst mass atrocities. This alternative forensic practice is one in which citizen’s active participation in spotting, mapping and delineating possible sites where their relatives might be held captive, are transforming the politics and notions of what constitutes evidence and expertise. The politics of forensic expertise is a thread that runs throughout this thesis, and that connects the diverse ways in which disappearance, materiality and subjectivities reconstitute each other to bring forth what I identify as citizen forensics. Thus, by exploring the way in which private citizens are transformed into forensic investigators after the disappearance of a loved one, I contribute a new understanding to the geographical approach to missingness and disappearance. Throughout this thesis I understand disappearance as a fluid technology, at once a political category, created against the backdrop of state violence and pervading insecurity, and also a constantly shifting practice where signifier and signified collapse. The disappeared, in their constant absent/presences and embodiment in maps, GPS, pictures and databases, challenge the distinctions made between the ‘person as such’ and cold bureaucratic technologies such as counting, mapping or case-filing procedures.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The novella, The Girl Disappeared, focuses on the life of Emalia, a street kid from Mexico. She is taken from the streets of Veracruz and forced into a life of prostitution on the fictitious island of La Isla de Santa Flora. The primary conflict that drives the action of the story is her pending choice between escaping her life of slavery and saving another young woman who is on the verge of being forced into a life of prostitution as well. The novella, as a literary piece, dwells on the question of character agency and explores the multilayered nature of code switching. Language for these women becomes a tool in their struggle against their captives and a means of self-preservation, or sanctuary, as they use their growing bilingualism to foment a limited agency, to act in their own defense.

Résumé :

During the military dictatorship in Argentina between 1976 and 1983, an estimated 30,000 civilians disappeared. Most of these individuals were kidnapped by the military and taken to clandestine prisons where they were tortured and killed. The children of these victims were also seized, and pregnant women were kept alive long enough to give birth. An estimated 500 infants and young children of the disappeared were given for adoption to families with close ties to the military. Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo) were formed to discover the fate of their grandchildren. This thesis examines the key role that the search for the kidnapped children of the disappeared has played in Argentina's post-dictatorship human rights struggle. As an ethnography of human rights, I analyze how human rights struggles are waged over competing empathetic appeals. The thesis focuses on public debates and legal contents. It is divided into three interrelated sections: the first focuses on the disappeared, the second on the search for and recovery of the children of the disappeared and the third on family member organizations. In debates about the disappeared, I trace the shifting view of the disappeared within human rights discourse from innocent victims in the aftermath of the dictatorship to political activists in the present. I then examine how this view has also been called into question. I also analyze the place of survivors, including accusations of treachery made against them. Part 2 discusses the search for and recovery of the kidnapped children of the disappeared. In particular, I examine legal cases both in the early years and after the kidnapped children became adults. I analyze the Grandmothers' public campaigns and discuss the challenges of restitution. The final part of this thesis examines the larger political context of the Grandmothers' search. In particular, I examine debates between reformist and radical sectors of the human rights s
Durant la dictature argentine, qui dura de 1976 à 1983, environ 30 000 civils ont disparu. La majorité de ces individus ont été kidnappés par l'armée argentine et jetés dans des prisons clandestines où on les tortura avant de les tuer. Les enfants des victimes ont également été saisis, et les femmes enceintes gardées en vie juste le temps de donner naissance. Un estimé de cinq cents bébés et enfants en bas âge de personnes disparues ont été donnés en adoption à des familles liées à l'armée. Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (Les grands-mères de la Plaza de Mayo) fut formé pour découvrir le sort de leurs petits-enfants. Cette thèse examine le rôle central que la recherche des enfants kidnappés a pris dans la lutte de droits de la personne en Argentine post-dictatoriale. En tant qu'ethnographie des droits de la personne, j'analyse comment les luttes des droits de la personne sont en concurrence avec d'autres demandes empathiques. La thèse met l'emphase sur les débats publics et contenus légaux. Elle est divisée en trois sections inter reliées : la première met l'accent sur les personnes disparues, la deuxième sur la recherche et la récupération des enfants des disparus et la troisième sur les organismes des membres de la famille. Dans les débats concernant les disparus, je trace les changements d'opinions sur les personnes disparues dans le discours des droits de la personne de victimes innocentes à la suite de la dictature à activistes politiques dans le présent. Par la suite, j'examine comment ce point de vue a également été remis en question. J'analyse aussi la place des survivants, incluant les accusations de trahison faites contre eux. La partie 2 discute la recherche et la récupération des enfants kidnappés. En particulier, j'examine des cas légaux autant dans les jeunes années que plus tard lorsque les enfants ont atteint la majorité. J'analyse les campagnes publiques des Abuelas et discute des difficultés de l

Résumé :

The return of a body, alive (sas, lit. ‘breath’) or dead (las) is a recurring demand of relatives of the disappeared in Nepal. Hundreds of people were disappeared by state security forces or abducted by the Maoists during the armed conflict (1996-2006). Uncertainty surrounds their whereabouts and their fate remains unconfirmed. Not knowing for certain whether someone is alive or dead is a painful predicament for relatives. Their loss remains ambiguous: there is no body, only an abrupt rupture in their lives. This thesis explores how the effects of disappearances reverberate in the details of relationships within families, with local communities and with the state. The disappeared person’s absence becomes a disruptive and unsettling presence, and has had particular effects for women whose husbands have disappeared. When people ‘disappear,’ the fragile line between life and death is disrupted: lives and deaths are held in limbo. This thesis explores the social repercussions and the political uses that have been made of this. Ambiguity is both what makes disappearances a particularly difficult kind of loss to bear for relatives; and what makes ‘the disappeared’ a potent political and moral symbol in continuing contests over the state in the aftermath of the war. The relationship between the personal experiences of relatives and the projects of actors seeking to influence the state is complex and over-layered. For relatives, the gap between life and death is paradoxically both a source of hope and of despair. On a political level it becomes a space of ambiguity upon which statecraft is performed. In Nepal, the search for disappeared relatives developed into collective campaigns demanding truth, justice and compensation from the state. This thesis examines how these campaigns, directed by the Maoist party on the one hand and human rights organisations on the other, whilst advocating for relatives of the disappeared have simultaneously utilised the ‘disappeared’ for their own projects to transform or reform the state. The appropriation of the disappeared as political symbols, has involved inscribing them with new identities as ‘conflict victims’ or as ‘disappeared warriors’. The thesis suggests that the absent bodies of the disappeared have been drawn into different contests of sovereignty. It explores how this politicisation both influences the ways in which relatives come to interpret and experience their loss, and is ultimately often rejected by them. In demanding the return of a body, relatives seek to retrieve the person from the political entanglements of contests over sovereign authority: to reclaim the personal from the political.

Résumé :

I explore the changing use of political violence by the new Latin American military regimes, specifically post-1976 Argentina with comparative analysis towards Augusto Pinochet’s Chile, as well as by those who protested military authoritarianism during the Dirty War and Operation Condor. These military dictatorships adopted aggressive anti-communist ideologies and displayed them through internal, covert violence. In this study, I adopt definitions of the 'spectacle of violence' and the 'spectacle of absence' that seek to explore the politics of diplomacy behind violent acts that have informed the processes of staging, or hiding, both the methods and outcome of inflicted violence. Geopolitics of the post-human rights legislation era and the Argentine military’s perception of a failed judicial system fostered the institutionalization of a new violent performance, the spectacle of absence, in opposition to the guerrillas' application of the public spectacle of violence. My analysis of violent spectacles within Argentina and their reception at home and abroad displays the various meanings transmitted and received through the medium of political violence as performance.

O caminho da construção do discurso sobre desaparecimento político, em cada comissão oficial, é uma forma de elaborar uma memória nacional. Uma memória que pode integrar ou esquecer muitos grupos diferentes. Entender a definição estatal atual e pretérita sobre os desaparecidos, permite entender como o Estado produz os desaparecidos e mortos políticos. A reelaboração dos discursos sobre os desaparecidos deriva de diversos conflitos sociais que permeiam a discussão da memória e do lembrar e esquecer. Essa pesquisa busca desenvolver como a memória é veiculada nos diversos documentos e como se pode ler as suas mudanças no decorrer dos anos a fim de contar uma determinada história. É também na maneira de contar a história que pode aperfeiçoar os direitos políticos e civis na democracia. Os documentos, aqui, analisados são produzidos por civis, familiares de pessoas mortas e desaparecidas políticas, e, posteriormente, pela Casa Civil da Presidência. Sendo eles: Brasil: Nunca Mais (1985), Dossiê dos mortos e desaparecidos políticos de 1964 (1995), Lei 9.140/95 (1995), Livro-Relatório da CEMDP (2007), Lei 12.528/2011 (2011), Relatório Final da CNV (2014). Para ler estes documentos, as interpretações de M. Foucault (2005) quanto a elaboração da verdade pelo documento e pelo inquérito, base do sistema jurídico atual, são essenciais. Assim como as interpretações de J. Le Goff (1991) sobre a elaboração e a falta de inocência dos documentos e, de A. Assmann (2014) e J. Assmann (2008) sobre as diferentes dimensões da memória, dentro da família e dentro da nação. Com este arcabouço teóricometodológico, a leitura se desenrola a fim de buscar as formas como os desaparecidos são retratados através desse período, saindo de "desaparecidos" mártires (ARQUIDIOCESE DE SÃO PAULO, 1985) para "cadáveres ocultos" (CNV, 2014). E se pode observar como a memória da família e as respostas que esta família esperam são diferentes daquelas que as comissões podem elaborar e responder. Pode-se dizer, com ressalvas ainda assim, que a memória nacional não tem coração de mãe, pai, irmãos, conjugues, amigos, mas tem letras que poderiam garantir os direitos destes.
The way of constructing the discourse on political disappearance, in each official commission, is a way of elaborating a national memory. A memory that can integrate or forget many different groups. Understanding the present and past state definition of the disappeared allows us to understand how the state produces the disappeared and the political dead. The reelaboration of the discourses on the disappeared derives from diverse social conflicts that permeate the discussion of memory and remember and forget. This research seeks to develop how memory is conveyed in the various documents and how one can read its changes over the years in order to tell history. It is the way of telling the history that can improve political and civil rights in democracy. The documents analyzed here are produced by civilians, relatives of political dead and missing people, and later, by the Civil House of the Presidency. They are: Brasil: Nunca Mais (1985), Dossiê dos mortos e desaparecidos políticos de 1964 (1995), Lei 9.140/95 (1995), Livro-Relatório da CEMDP (2007), Lei 12.528/2011 (2011), Relatório Final da CNV (2014). To read these documents, the interpretations of M. Foucault (2005) regarding the elaboration of the truth by documents and the inquiry, the basis of the current legal system, are essential. As well as the interpretations of J. Le Goff (1991) on the elaboration – and lack of innocence – of the documents, and A. Assmann's (2014) and J. Assmann's (2008) differentiation of dimensions of the memory, within the family and within the nation. With this theoretical-methodological framework, the reading unfolds in order to search for the ways the disappeared are portrayed through the time, leaving "disappeared" martyrs (ARQUIDIOCESE DE SÃO PAULO, 1985) for "hidden corpses" (CNV, 2014). And one can see how the memory of the family and the answers that this family expects are different from those that the commissions can elaborate and respond to. It can be said, with reservations, that the national memory does not have the heart of a mother, father, siblings, spouses, friends, but it has letters that could guarantee their rights.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis focuses on the importance of truth and memory in the process of transitional justice, within the context of the aftermath of gross violations of human rights that occurred during the military dictatorship of 1976 to 1983 in Argentina. The military junta that ruled Argentina took power under the pretext of national security, arguing that an enemy threatened to destabilize and destroy Argentine society. During the period of the military dictatorship an estimated 30,000 people "disappeared"; relatives of those disappeared mobilized and formed human rights organizations to confront the military regime for its abuses. Once the dictatorship collapsed and democratic rule was reestablished these human rights organizations changed their focus, mobilizing once again to find their missing relatives, learn the truth, and prosecute those responsible of any crimes. A series of amnesty laws and pardons protected the perpetrators of many of the crimes of the military regime through most of the 1990's, until in 2005 the Argentine Supreme Court declared those laws unconstitutional. During the period before the 2005 ruling human rights organizations worked hard to gather the truth about the crimes of the military regime and ensure these crimes were not forgotten. Their initiatives included the famous weekly march to the Plaza de Mayo by members of Madres (Mothers), one of the most important human rights organizations in Argentina; escraches (reveal what is hidden) and public protests by HIJOS (Sons and daughters of the disappeared), actions in which members of HIJOS would go to the houses of known members of the military juntas and protest at their front doors; and programs to find missing grandchildren by Abuelas (Grandmothers), a human rights organization dedicated to searching for the missing children of the disappeared; and others. Because of the structure of terror during the military junta, most Argentines did not know exactly what was happening to the missing persons, and they were afraid to ask. The truth gathering initiatives and the official report of the commission charged with investigating the junta, CONADEP, came into being in response to this lack of knowledge. They helped to inform the Argentine people and the new generations of what had happened during the military dictatorship in hopes of making sure that such abuses do not occur again.

By recontextualizing spatiality, it is arguable that the meaning of &lsquo
space&rsquo
as a term varies from the most local to the global geographies. &lsquo
Space&rsquo
as a term for this thesis does not only mean the architectural spaces, but also the social spaces. This thesis aims to define and investigate the dynamics of &lsquo
Thirdspace&rsquo
as a key term and to locate it in the specifities of urban within the area of resistance and transgression. &lsquo
Thirdspace&rsquo
is illustrated as a wider sphere of participation forpolitical resistance. As a space, it is the new meeting places for diverse oppositional practices, for multiple communities of resistance. It is a space that is both center and the margin, which enables the radical social action everywhere in the world, from local to the global. The theoretical framework for understanding the tools of our critical approach will be provided by a comprehensive literature about &lsquo
identity politics,&rsquo
which can be defined as the theoretical base of the concept of &lsquo
Thirdspace.&rsquo
After an extensive analysis about the dynamics of &lsquo
Thirdspace&rsquo
for political resistance, it is concerned to locate the concept of &lsquo
Thirdspace&rsquo
within the material world as a case study. The case study aims to exemplify firstly the &lsquo
Istiklal Street&rsquo
as &lsquo
Thirdspace&rsquo
, secondly political position of &lsquo
Saturday&rsquo
s Mothers&rsquo
as &lsquo
thirdspace of political choice&rsquo
, and lastly to demonstrate the reciprocal relations between them within the framework of the relationship between space and politics.

Résumé :

Familiares de desaparecidos y detenidos por razones políticas, les Mères de la Place de Mai Ligne Fondatrice, l’Association Mères de la Place de Mai, les Grands-mères de la Place de Mai, l’Association des ex-détenus-disparus (AEDD), H.I.J.O.S et Herman@s sont sept associations de victimes de la dernière dictature en Argentine. Nés pendant et après la dictature (1976-1983), ce sont tous des collectifs de proches de détenus-disparus, à l’exception de l’AEDD qui est une association d’anciens-détenus disparus. L’objectif de ce travail est d’analyser l’évolution des discours de ces associations depuis leur naissance jusqu’en 2007 à la fin du mandat du président Néstor Kirchner. Il s’agit tout d’abord de comprendre dans quelle mesure ces discours sont conditionnés par les politiques étatiques de gestion du passé dictatorial par les gouvernements argentins qui se sont succédés depuis la fin de la dictature. Par ailleurs, cette analyse permet de revenir sur les dynamiques qui s’établissent entre les associations de victimes et surtout de comprendre dans quelle mesure elles constituent un ensemble. Enfin, en nous intéressant aux termes « victime », « devoir de mémoire » et « défense des droits de l’homme » dans ces discours officiels et dans ceux des associations, nous verrons comment ils sont très liés en Argentine
Familiares de desaparecidos y detenidos por razones políticas, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Línea Fundadora, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Association, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the Association of former detained-disappeared (AEDD), H.I.J.O.S and Herman@s are seven associations of victims from the last dictatorship in Argentina. These groups of families of detained-disappeared were born during and after the dictatorship (1976-1983), except for the AEDD, a group of past-detained and disappeared people. The purpose of our study is to analyze the evolution of these associations’ discourse since they were born until 2007, President Néstor Kirchner's end of term. It first raises the question of how these discourses were influenced by the state policies established after the dictatorship regarding the dictatorial past. Besides, this analysis has allowed us to go back over the dynamics created among these associations, and especially to understand how they can be seen as a whole. The study of the word and expressions « victim », « duty of memory » and « human rights » will eventually enable to understand the importance of their links within Argentina

Résumé :

Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera några av de minnespraktiker i efterdiktaturens Argentina som behandlar det kollektiva minnet av det Smutsiga Kriget och de som blev utsatta för tvångsförsvinnande. Praktikerna som studerats är Madres de Plaza de Mayo, minnesplatser upprättade i före detta fångläger och Parque de la Memoria. Uppsatsen anknyter till ett teoretiskt ramverk för kollektivt minne och kollektivt trauma, minnesmuseer och materiell kultur. Studien har utformats som en fallstudie. Materialet består av observationer, intervjuer och fotografier insamlade under fältarbete i Argentina 2017. Madres de Plaza de Mayo analyserades genom att använda teorier om lieux de mémoire framförda av Pierre Nora och minnesceremonier framförda av Paul Connerton. Minnesplatserna studerades utifrån ett minnesmuseumsperspektiv med hjälp av teorier av Paul Williams. Parque de la Memoria studerades utifrån teorier om krigsmonument framförda av Jay Williams. Madres de Plaza de Mayo kan förstås som lieu de mémoire eftersom de i sina artikulationer och aktioner är materiella, symboliska och funktionella. Genom dem bevaras de försvunna vid liv. Minnesplatserna presenterar ett mer ambivalent narrativ som placerar de försvunna i limbo. Parque de la Memoria är en plats för sorg och för att offentligt hedra dem som föll offer under det Smutsiga Kriget. Kontexten som dessa praktiker befinner sig i är komplex och de olika praktikerna uttrycker tre olika narrativ över de försvunna, som sträcker över spektrumet från liv till död. Detta är en tvåårig mastersuppsats i ämnet musei- och kulturarvsvetenskap
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss some of the memory-practices in post-dictatorial Argentina regarding the collective memory of the Dirty War and the people who were objects of forced disappearances. The practices studied are Madres de Plaza de Mayo, sites of memory established in former centres of detention and Parque de la Memoria. The thesis draws upon the theoretical framework of collective memory and collective trauma, memorial museums and material culture. The study was formed as a case study. The materials are observations, interviews and photographs, and were gathered through field work in Argentina in 2017. The Madres de Plaza de Mayo were analysed using theories on lieux de mémoire brought forward by Pierre Nora and commemoration ceremonies brought forward by Paul Connerton. The sites of memory were studied out of the perspective on memorial museums by Paul Williams. Parque de la Memoria was studied with theories on war memorials by Jay Winter. The Madres de Plaza de Mayo can be interpreted as lieu de mémoire due to their material, symbolic and functional dimensions. Through them, the disappeared are alive. The sites of memory present an ambivalent narrative. The narrative of the disappeared is that of a state of limbo. Parque de la Memoria is a park of mourning, placing the disappeared in a narrative of death. The situation of memory-practices in post-dictatorial Argentina is complex and the practices articulates three different narratives of the disappeared, ranging from life to death. This is a two-year master’s thesis in Museum and Cultural Heritage Studies

This research aims to analyze the crime of forced disappearance of people in Brazil, in the recent brazilian military dictatorship context, verifying its origin and examining the internationals treaties and conventions about the subject. Cases of people’s forced disappearance in Brazil, that happened and were reported, will be approached, as well as the brazilian conviction imposed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the Gomes Lund case, in addition to the historical and documentary work carried out by National Truth Commission. The question regarding the typification of lege ferenda will be approached, analyzing comparative law and the extraditions judged by the Federal Supreme Court about the subject. Will be demonstrated the need of typification of the crime in question, in addition to an approach about our slow transitional justice. This is a theoretical research, using the deductive method, whose techniques used to achieve the objectives outlined here basically consist on an investigation through theoretical sources such as normative, bibliographical, doctrinal and jurisprudential national and international, as well as other documentaries. The initial thesis is based on the affirmation that the absence of typification of this crime causes legal uncertainty in the internal legal order. The core of this investigation emphasizes that it is possible to punish state agents who committed human rights violations in Brazil, in our last government of exceptions. The topic deserves to be researched, given the shortage of doctrinal approaches in Brazil, with little jurisprudence on the subject. The views outlined here (legal uncertainty and grounds on the need for punishment of state agents), and the way in which they will be demonstrated, are the unpublished views on the way to deal with the subject. It is understood that the treatment of criminal matters involving the forced disappearance of people in Brazil should be based on a national law, that regulate this crime, in order to eliminate legal uncertainty and impunity, ensuring the effectiveness of justice and the strengthening of democracy
Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar o delito de desaparecimento forçado de pessoas no Brasil, contextualizando-o na recente ditadura militar brasileira, verificando-se sua origem e examinando-se os tratados e convenções internacionais que cuidam do assunto. Serão abordados os casos ocorridos e relatados de desaparecimento forçado de pessoas no Brasil, bem como a condenação brasileira imposta pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos no caso Gomes Lund, além do trabalho histórico e documental efetuado pela Comissão Nacional da Verdade. Será tratada a questão relativa à tipificação de lege ferenda, analisando-se o direito comparado e as extradições julgadas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre o tema. Será demonstrada a necessidade de tipificação do crime em questão, além de uma abordagem sobre a nossa lenta justiça de transição. Realizou-se a pesquisa teórica com utilização do método dedutivo, cujas técnicas empregadas para a consecução dos objetivos aqui delineados consistem, basicamente, em uma investigação através de fontes teóricas, como as normativas, bibliográficas, doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais nacionais e internacionais, além de outras documentais. A tese inicial baseia-se na afirmação de que a ausência de tipificação deste crime causa insegurança jurídica no ordenamento jurídico interno. O núcleo central desta investigação enfatiza que é possível a punição dos agentes estatais que cometeram violações de Direitos Humanos no Brasil, em nosso último governo de exceção. O tema merece ser pesquisado, ante a escassez de abordagens doutrinárias no Brasil, havendo pouca jurisprudência sobre o assunto. As visões aqui delineadas (insegurança jurídica e fundamentos sobre a necessidade de punição dos agentes estatais), e o modo como serão demonstradas, constituem o ineditismo quanto ao enfrentamento do tema. Entende-se que o tratamento das questões criminais que envolvem o desaparecimento forçado de pessoas no Brasil deve se basear em uma lei nacional, que regulamente este delito, a fim de se eliminar a insegurança jurídica e a impunidade, assegurando-se a efetivação da justiça e o fortalecimento da democracia

Résumé :

The object of this thesis is to study the attempts made by writers and filmmakers in two very different socio-cultural contexts to depict and elucidate the experience of political violence, particularly torture, in the periods 1954-1962 and 1976-1983. I seek to apply the hypotheses of Anglo-American and French theorists with an interest in historical representation, as well as trauma, to both 'realist' and experimental accounts of the widespread oppression that occurred during the Algerian war of independence and later during the so-called 'Dirty War' in Argentina. The texts analysed in detail include novels and short stories by Kateb Yacine, Assia Djebar, Julio Cortázar and Luisa Valenzuela; the films I examine most closely are the Algerian-Italian 'docudrama' La Bataille d'Alger and the Argentine melodrama La historia oficial. However, the thesis also addresses other non-factual portrayals of brutality, such as the Nouvelle Vague's meditations on decolonization, and autobiographical writings, such as military memoirs and survivors' testimony, as a means of elaborating more fully on the issues at stake in the works cited above. It explores the difficulty - and the possibility - of giving voice to histories that simultaneously resist and demand articulation, and ultimately, of reconstituting the fragmented or 'disappeared' subject through narrative: of using fiction to summon the 'ghosts' of the past.

Résumé :

1 252 unaccompanied refugee children have disappeared in Sweden since 2007. These children have never been found. Nearly one unaccompanied refuge child disappears per day. This happens during the time they are within the Swedish authorities' responsibility. This thesis uses the framing theory of the mass media regarding the missing unaccompanied refugee children and what the mass media considers to be the cause of their disappearance, the moral aspects of the articles and the solutions to the problem. The study uses a qualitative content analysis to explore the framing theory and the agenda of the mass media to answer the research questions of the thesis. A quantitative analyze has been implemented to present how many articles there are that gets written regarding the missing unaccompanied refugee children. The material used in this thesis is a complete selection of the daily newspapers from Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Svenska dagbladet as well as the two newspapers Sydsvenskan and Göteborgs-Posten. The material includes 71 articles that where published from 1st of January 2007 and 1st of April 2015. Thus the material consists of 71 articles from an eight-year period. Nearly one unaccompanied refuge child disappears per day in Sweden while the mass media publishes eight articles a year about this matter. The results of this thesis indicate that the missing unaccompanied refugee children do not get much attention in the agenda of the mass media. The results also show that the reason why these unaccompanied children may disappear while they are within the responsibility of the Swedish authorities is that there is no one who cares about them. Neither the authorities, journalists nor the citizens.
1 252 ensamkommande flyktingbarn i Sverige har försvunnit sedan 2007. Dessa barn har aldrig återfunnits. Det försvinner nästintill ett ensamkommande barn om dagen i Sverige under tiden de är under svenska myndigheters ansvar. I denna uppsats analyseras massmedias gestaltning kring de försvunna ensamkommande flyktingbarnen, vad massmedia anser vara orsaken till att de försvinner, hur de moraliska aspekterna presenteras i artiklarna samt vilka lösningar på problemet som framläggs i media. Studien använder sig av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att analysera gestaltnings teorin samt massmedias dagordningsmakt i uppsatsen material samt för att besvara uppsatsens frågeställningar. En kvantitativ analys har även används för att presentera hur pass många artiklar som skrivs kring de försvunna ensamkommande flyktingbarnen. Materialet är ett totalurval från dagstidningarna Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Svenska Dagbladet samt ytterligare två tidningar Sydsvenskan och Göteborgs-Posten. Materialet består av 71 artiklar och dessa artiklar är publicerade mellan 1 januari 2007 till 1 april 2015. Materialet består därmed av 71 artiklar från en åtta års period. Det försvinner nästan ett ensamkommande flyktingbarn per dag i Sverige och massmedia skriver Åtta artiklar per år om detta, det innebär att varje tidning skriver 1,4 artiklar var per år. Uppsatsens resultat visar att problemet med de försvunna ensamkommande flyktingbarnen inte får stor plats i massmedias dagordning. Resultatet visar även att orsaken till att dessa ensamkommande flyktingbarn kan försvinna under tiden som de är under svenska myndigheters ansvar är att ingen verkar bry sig. Varken myndigheter, journalister eller medborgare.

Résumé :

La desaparición forzada empieza generalmente con una detención o un secuestro o cualquier otra forma de privación de libertad, realizada por agentes del Estado o por personas con su autorización o aquiescencia, seguida de la negativa o el ocultamiento de la suerte o el paradero de la persona desaparecida. La incertidumbre sobre el paradero de la persona desaparecida y el miedo a que ésta haya sido sometida a torturas, tratos crueles e inhumanos, o incluso asesinada, causa mucha angustia y sufrimiento a los familiares, lo cual constituye un trato inhumano o degradante, y así lo han establecido las diferentes instancias internacionales de protección de derechos humanos. Dada la relevancia jurídica y práctica del tema, se consideró sobradamente justificado el llevar a cabo una investigación con el objeto de analizar el fenómeno global de las desapariciones forzadas y la respuesta del derecho internacional mediante la adopción de tratados y mecanismos de protección de todas las personas contra las desapariciones forzadas. A fin de delimitar este objeto, se estimó pertinente estudiar el tratamiento de las desapariciones forzadas en los procesos de justicia transicional, es decir, en los Estados que han vivido un conflicto armado o un régimen autoritario y que están en transición hacia un nuevo régimen basado en el Estado de derecho y el respeto de los derechos humanos. Para ello, se fijaron como principales objetivos específicos del proyecto de investigación los siguientes: -El estudio del fenómeno de las desapariciones forzadas y la respuesta del derecho internacional desde el punto de vista del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, el derecho internacional humanitario y el derecho internacional penal; -El análisis del concepto y los principales elementos de desaparición forzada a partir de la comparación de las definiciones de los diferentes instrumentos jurídicos internacionales, con especial referencia a la desaparición forzada de menores; -El estudio de la desaparición forzada como un delito complejo que conlleva la violación múltiple de derechos humanos fundamentales; -La determinación del alcance y contenido del derecho a saber de los familiares de las personas desaparecidas así como de la dimensión colectiva del derecho a la verdad; -El análisis del derecho a la justicia y las salvaguardias contra la impunidad de las víctimas de desapariciones forzadas; y -El análisis del derecho de las víctimas de desapariciones forzadas a la reparación y sus distintas formas junto con las garantías de no repetición. El análisis se plantea desde una perspectiva del Derecho Internacional Público, teniendo en cuenta en particular el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, el derecho internacional humanitario y el derecho internacional penal. Para ello, se tendrán en cuenta los principios y normas jurídicas internacionales, así como los procedimientos propios de creación y aplicación del Derecho internacional a la hora de aproximarse al objeto de estudio. Para la realización de la investigación se ha utilizado el método propio de la ciencia jurídica, no obstante, atendiendo a algunas de las implicaciones del análisis y objeto de estudio, se ha tenido en cuenta también una aproximación social e histórica y axiológica de las cuestiones planteadas. En lo que respecta a la sistemática seguida para alcanzar el objeto predefinido, el trabajo de investigación se ha dividido en dos partes: una primera en la que se analiza el fenómeno global de las desapariciones forzadas y la respuesta del derecho internacional mediante la adopción de tratados y mecanismos de protección de todas las personas contra las desapariciones forzadas; y una segunda parte en la cual se estudia cómo a través de la justicia transicional pueden los familiares esclarecer la suerte o paradero de las personas desaparecidas, partiendo de la impunidad de la que suelen gozar los responsables de actos de desapariciones forzadas hasta llegar a la rendición de cuentas. En la Parte I, el capítulo I se inicia con una referencia a dos de los antecedentes más significativos de la práctica de las desapariciones forzadas, por un lado, el Decreto Noche y Niebla, desarrollado por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial como un método de guerra de brutalidad inusual y, por el otro, el fenómeno de las desapariciones forzadas que asoló América Latina durante las décadas de los setenta y ochenta en el marco de conflictos armados internos o situaciones de violencia interna y que en gran parte fue el detonante de la reacción de la comunidad internacional que, entre otras cosas, decidió crear el Grupo de Trabajo sobre Desapariciones Forzadas o Involuntarias de las Naciones Unidas en 1980. El capítulo II versa sobre la definición de desaparición forzada, en el cual se analizan los diferentes elementos que la componen, a saber, la privación de libertad, la participación del estado y la cuestión de los actores no estatales, y la sustracción de la persona a la protección de la ley como intención o consecuencia de la desaparición forzosa. Esta primera parte termina con el capítulo III que analiza la desaparición forzada como una violación compleja y múltiple de derechos humanos, en concreto el derecho a la libertad y seguridad personal, el derecho a la integridad personal, el derecho a la vida y el derecho a la personalidad jurídica. La Parte II está estructurada en base al Conjunto de principios actualizado para la protección y la promoción de los derechos humanos mediante la lucha contra la impunidad adoptados por la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas en 2005, en donde se establecen las obligaciones de los Estados frente a graves violaciones de derechos humanos. El Capítulo IV está dedicado al derecho a la verdad, cuyo origen se encuentra en el derecho internacional humanitario y que se reconoce por primera vez en el ámbito internacional de los derechos humanos en la Convención Internacional de 2006. A continuación, el Capítulo V analiza el derecho a la justicia y las salvaguardias contra la impunidad, haciendo énfasis en la obligación de los Estados de juzgar a los autores de las desapariciones forzadas en base al principio “Aut dedere aut iudicare”. Finalmente, el capítulo VI abordará el derecho a la reparación y garantías de no repetición de las víctimas, haciendo especial énfasis en las distintas formas de reparación que requieren los familiares de las personas desaparecidas y que incluyen la restitución, la indemnización, la rehabilitación y la satisfacción.

Résumé :

Humanity has long been enamored by the notion of our own demise. Recent events, however, have altered our end-of-the-world imaginings. Suddenly we have the ability to split an atom and destroy whole cities, whole countries - making us gods capable of bringing about our own end. With this knowledge, a new breed of apocalyptic tale has emerged, the post-apocalyptic novel. This study aims to look at three such works and examine the ways in which various authors have, in the past sixty years, envisioned humanity's fate after the end of the world - focusing specifically on the concepts of social fluidity and change as they play out in these landscapes that are both sterile and living at the same time. Chapter one of this thesis deals with Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz and examines the deterministic techno-primitive social cycle that Miller, a mere decade removed from the dropping of the A-bomb, saw playing out in a post-apocalyptic world. Chapter two looks at Cormac McCarthy's The Road and shows the "society of two", a father and son, who manage to maintain notions of family and society by carefully incorporating fragments of the old, rotting society into their schema of feral domesticity. Chapter three examines a short story, "Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler, and discusses the paradoxically moving but stunted social landscape of Butler's silent, post-apocalyptic realm.

Résumé :

Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar as práticas de desaparecimento das ditaduras civil-militares de segurança nacional argentina e brasileira como componentes das estratégias de implantação do terror desses regimes, como a questão dos desaparecidos foi tratada durante os governos transicionais e administrações civis posteriores ao período ditatorial e como a temática foi trabalhada a partir dos governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e Néstor Kirchner. Pretende-se, desta forma, estabelecer uma relação entre a forma como foram realizados os processos de transição política – em se tratando dos Direitos Humanos, mais especificamente, a garantia do direito à justiça e à verdade – e a elaboração de políticas de memória e reparação ou desmemória e esquecimento no presente. A partir dessa compreensão, têm-se indícios de que as rupturas, caracterizadas por uma condenação moral em relação ao passado ditatorial, são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento dessas políticas. Para o cumprimento deste objetivo, este estudo está dividido em três capítulos. No primeiro, apresenta-se uma análise da prática do desaparecimento, salientado as semelhanças existentes entre o caso argentino e brasileiro, resguardadas as diferenças em extensividade e intensidade. O segundo estuda os processos de transição política e o tratamento conferido à questão dos desaparecidos pelos governos transicionais e pelas administrações civis até o término da década de 1990. O terceiro e último capítulo analisa as políticas de memória e reparação e desmemória e esquecimento elaboradas a partir dos anos 2000, quando se efetivou uma mudança no marco interpretativo sobre o passado recente da região e se tornou possível a consecução dessas políticas.
This thesis aims to analyze the practice of disappearance of Argentine and Brazilian national security civil-military dictatorship as components of strategies for implementing terror. It also aims to approach how the transitional governments and subsequent civil administrations dealt with the disappeared and how this issue had been discussed from the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Néstor Kirchner. This approach aims to establish a relation between the ways the political transitions took place in these countries – regarding the Human Rights, more specifically, in guaranteeing the rights to justice and truth – and the development of memory and repair policies or oblivion flaring and forgetting policies in the present. Based on this comprehension, there are evidences that the disruptions, characterized by a moral conviction against the dictatorial past, are fundamental to the development of these policies. For the fulfillment of these objectives, this study is divided into three chapters. The first one presents an analysis of the practice of disappearance, stressing the similarities between the Argentine and Brazilian case, safeguarding the differences in extensiveness and intensity. The second one deals with the processes of political transition and the treatment given to the issue of disappearance by the transitional governments and the civil administrations until the end of the 1990’s. The third and final chapter analyzes the memory and repair policies or oblivion flaring and forgetting policies prepared since the year 2000, when there was a change in the interpretative framework about the region recent past and it became possible to achieve these policies.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Pourquoi certaines armes disparaissent des champs de bataille tandis que d’autres ne cessent d’y être déployées? Afin de répondre à cette question, notre travail entreprend d’analyser sous un angle inédit l’influence du droit de la guerre (jus in bello) dans le choix des acteurs (gouvernements et militaires) d’utiliser une arme plutôt qu’une autre. Plus précisément, il s’attache à démontrer que les perceptions collectives de ce que proscrit ou autorise le droit de la guerre concernant les conditions d’utilisation des armes (conceptualisées sous le nom de meta-norme du « combattre justement ») est décisif dans la manière qu’ont les acteurs d’appréhender, évaluer et utiliser leur armement. A travers l’analyse des trajectoires de trois armes différentes (armes chimiques, armes incendiaires et drones de combat) fondée sur des données objectives, archives et sources secondaires, nous démontrons que chacun des pics significatifs de l’utilisation de ces armes s’explique aussi par des changements importants dans les perceptions collectives du « combattre justement ». Ainsi, les acteurs cessent d’utiliser leurs armes, ou prétendent cesser, quand ils ne parviennent plus à justifier et démontrer que leur utilisation s’accorde avec leurs perceptions collectives du « combattre justement », et vice versa. In fine, notre travail démontre que la guerre demeure un processus de justification continu, et, parce que les perceptions du combattre justement forment le socle de ces justifications, elles sont décisives pour comprendre le choix des pratiques de guerre. En second lieu, parce que les perceptions collectives du combattre justement sont décisives pour comprendre les pratiques de guerre, notre travail s’intéresse à leur formation. Il démontre que les acteurs sont plus enclins à imposer leur propre perception comme étant la plus légitime lorsque leur argumentaire perpétue un ordre symbolique dominant et ne révèle pas les fondamentales contradictions inhérentes au droit de la guerre. Ainsi, notre travail propose d’analyser sous un nouvel angle l’impact du droit de la guerre, mais aussi celui des argumentaires et des symboles dans les pratiques de guerre
The dissertation investigates why certain weapons continue, or cease to be employed on the battlefields. Employing an interpretivist perspective, it investigates an aspect largely overlooked by the extant literature: the impact of the meta-norm of 'fighting justly' on actors' weapons utilizations. The meta-norm of fighting justly is defined as the collective preconceptions shared by actors, on how and when the extant laws of war (jus in bello) either ban or allow weapons utilization. My work reveals that the significant shift in the utilization of three weapons (chemical weapons, incendiary weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles) can be explained by shifts in the dominant perceptions of the meta-norm of fighting justly. It is when actors believe that they cannot justify their weapons utilization with regards to their own meta-norm of fighting justly, that they decrease (or pretend to decrease by hiding) this utilization, or vice versa. In fine, when engaged in a war, militaries and states constantly seek to justify their actions, and the basis of these justifications is their understanding of the meta-norm of fighting justly. Because the meta-norm of fighting justly impacts on weapons variations, it is crucial to understand who shapes the norm, at the international level. My work reveals that states are engaged in a constant argument, where they defend, articulate and promote their own conception of fighting justly. In this 'battle for legitimacy', states are more likely to enshrine their own conception as the most legitimate one, under two conditions: namely, when their argument does not disrupt the extant symbolic order, and when it does not foster the inherent contradictions of the laws of war. Ultimately, this work aims to shed new light on how the laws of war influence practices of war. It also explores and provides new insights into the 'logic of arguing' and into the symbolic power in international relations

Résumé :

In this paper I endeavor to chart the trajectory through my Practice as Research process into, and later development of, what eventually became a performance and literary work entitled Jesus Thesis and Other Critical Fabulations. The paper details in the first part, Modes of Disidentification, the practices of three black, interdisciplinary artists: Todd Gray, Sethembile Msezane and Athi-Patra Ruga operating at different intersections of black identity and how their practices exemplify different possibilities for disidentification in creative practice. Using the framework of queer cultural theorist José Esteban Muñoz' Disidentifications (1984) as a theoretical base, I endeavor to explore the different techniques that these artists use in response, retaliation and, possibly, congruence to the politics of representation . In order to elucidate and experiment with these techniques I employ a Practice as 1 Research methodology that I unpack in the second half of the paper, Biomythography, critical fabulation and disidentification in Practice. In Biomythography, critical fabulation and disidentification in practice I engage the performance works I created during my masters in Theatre and Performance, namely Jesus Thesis and Other Critical Fabulations and icarus descent and illustrate how the theory of disidentification can be performed utilizing the techniques of biomythography (Lorde, 1982) and critical fabulation (Hartman, 2008) that gesture towards a complication of rigid identity theory. Underpinning this research is the desire to explore artistic techniques that complicate rigid, categorical identity theory and practices in the hope that these techniques can serve towards alternatives to and liberation from the social, categorical identity model inherited in Southern Africa through the colonial systems of identity based categorization.

Résumé :

O presente estudo analisa as formas como os familiares de pessoas mortas e desaparecidas durante a ditadura civil-militar no Brasil (1964-1985) se organizaram para reivindicar: 1º) o reconhecimento da responsabilidade do Estado brasileiro pelas violações aos direitos humanos praticadas em nome do regime autoritário; 2º) a apuração das reais circunstâncias em que estas mortes e desaparecimentos ocorreram; 3º) a responsabilização dos culpados; 4º) o resgate e a preservação da memória relativa a estes fatos. Fortalecida na primeira metade da década de 1970, a luta dos familiares organizados em torno da Comissão de Familiares de Mortos e Desaparecidos Políticos (CFMDP) estende-se até a atualidade. Canalizadas para os Comitês Brasileiros pela Anistia (CBA’s) que surgiram a partir de 1978, suas demandas foram, entretanto, praticamente desconsideradas no momento em que o Governo Federal aprovou a Lei da Anistia, em agosto de 1979. Com o fim da luta pela Anistia, e, por consequência, com a extinção dos CBA’s, os familiares rearticularam-se, centralizando seus esforços no fortalecimento da CFMDP. Em mais de três décadas de atividades, a CFMDP vem trabalhando de forma insistente junto à sociedade na tentativa de fazer com que os crimes cometidos no período autoritário não sejam esquecidos e buscando ampliar seu apoio com vistas à construção de políticas que atendam suas demandas. O trabalho desenvolvido pela CFMDP neste sentido obteve: a) o reconhecimento da responsabilidade do Estado brasileiro pelos crimes cometidos em nome do regime civil-militar; b) a concessão de indenizações aos familiares das vítimas fatais do aparato repressivo; c) um incremento no tocante à divulgação do tema junto à sociedade. Para aprofundar suas conquistas e formular novas políticas, que, mais efetivas, tratem do tema, a Comissão continua, no entanto, tendo que lidar com legados do autoritarismo que, tais como o bloqueio interpretativo que defende uma anistia recíproca e incentiva a impunidade e o esquecimento dos crimes cometidos pela ditadura, o rol das prerrogativas militares, a política nacional de sigilo ainda vigente e os resquícios culturais da Doutrina de Segurança Nacional, seguem limitando visivelmente a obtenção de avanços significativos no que se refere à reparação dos familiares.
This study examines the ways in which relatives of people killed or disappeared during the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) were organized to demand: 1) recognition of liability by the Brazilian state for violations of human rights committed in the name of the authoritarian regime; 2) the investigation of actual circumstances of these deaths and disappearances occurred; 3) liability of perpetrators; 4) the rescue and preservation of the memory on these facts. Strengthened in the first half of the 1970s, the struggle of families organized around the Commission of the Families of the Dead and Disappeared Political Activists (CFDDPA) extends until present. Channeled to the Brazilian Committees for Amnesty (BCA’s) that have emerged since 1978, their demands were, however, virtually ignored at the time the Federal Government approved the Amnesty Law in August 1979. With the end of the fight for amnesty, and, consequently, with the extinction of the BCA’s, the families reorganized themselves, centering its efforts on strengthening the CFDDPA. In more than three decades of activity, CFDDPA has been working persistently to the society in an attempt to make the crimes committed during authoritarian period are not forgotten and seeking to extend their support towards the construction of policies that meet their demands. The work developed by CFDDPA in this direction has obtained: a) the recognition of the liability of the Brazilian state for crimes committed on behalf of civil-military regime, b) the granting of compensation to the families of the victims of the repressive apparatus, c) an increase in respect of the disclosure of the issue to the society. To deepen their achievements and formulate new policies, more effectives to address the issue, the Commission continues, however, having to deal with legacies of authoritarian regimes, such as the interpretative blocking that defends a mutual amnesty and incentives the impunity and forgetfulness for crimes committed by the dictatorship, the role of military prerogatives, the secrecy national policy still in force and the remnants of the cultural National Security Doctrine, still follow limiting the obtaining of significant advances with regard to compensation to the families.

Résumé :

Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) disappearing from protection of the asylum system is a phenomenon that occurs around the world. Sweden is not immune to UASC disappearances, despite Swedish asylum laws and practices being based on the “Best Interests of the Child” (BIC). This study investigates the phenomenon from the perspective of stakeholders within the municipality of Malmö, Sweden, utilizing a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach. The aim of this study is to identify key paradoxical situations within the asylum system that may trigger disappearances, and to construct the theories surrounding this phenomenon from the data collected. The theories of governmentality, intersectionality and the post-Colonial theory of “othering” including “self-othering” were identified as valid concepts in regards to this phenomenon. This study also calls for further research into the field of unaccompanied migrant children including better documentation of these children who are both in and out of the asylum system.

Résumé :

As a product of the armed violence and the human rights violations committed in the decades of the eighties and nineties, the Peruvian government initiated a process of transitional justice in order to compensate the victims and reconcile a fragmented and divided society. However, there are still issues pending in that matter. One of these issues is the search of the missing persons.The present article will delve into the importance of a policy of search of missing persons in the light of the international obligations on human rights matters of the Peruvian state, and will analyze the weaknesses of their judicial actions to accomplish this task. The need of a centralized organism in charge of this function will be sustained, and a normative proposal for its implementation in the Peruvian legal system will be presented.
Producto de la violencia armada y de las vulneraciones a los derechos humanos cometidas en las décadas de los ochenta y noventa, el Estado peruano inició un proceso de justicia transicional con la finalidad de resarcir a las víctimas y reconciliar a una sociedad fragmentada. A pesar de ello, aún se mantienen pendientes en esta materia, como la búsqueda de las personas desaparecidas.El presente artículo ahondará en la importancia de una política de búsqueda de personas desaparecidas a la luz de las obligaciones internacionales en materia de derechos humanos del Estado peruano, y analizará las falencias de sus acciones de judicialización para cumplir esta tarea. Se sustentará la necesidad de un organismo centralizado que se encargue de esta función, y se presentará una propuesta normativa para su implementación en nuestro ordenamiento.

Résumé :

Während der letzten argentinischen Diktatur (1976-1983) wurden zehntausende Menschen in geheimen Lagern festgehalten, gefoltert und ermordet – dann ''verschwanden'' sie. Die meisten Fälle sind nur schwer rekonstruierbar, viele Täter kamen ungestraft davon. Für diese staatsterroristische Praxis wurde die Bezeichnung erzwungenes Verschwinden eingeführt (spanisch desaparición forzada). Die Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit medialen und ästhetischen Verfahrensweisen, die in Argentinien in der Auseinandersetzung mit der desaparición forzada entwickelt wurden. Im Vordergrund steht die These, dass die gewaltsame Depräsentation der Opfer zu einem gesellschaftlichen ''Wahrnehmungsmord'' ("percepticidio") geführt hat. Die medialen Strategien und ästhetischen Produktionen, die die Untersuchung analysiert, markieren den gegenwärtigen Stand einer transgenerationellen kulturellen Bearbeitung dieser wahrnehmungsrelevanten sozialen und politischen Erfahrung. Es handelt sich um Produktionen im Bereich Narrativik, Lyrik, Fotografie, Film und Theater, die im Kontext der Memoria-Hochkonjunktur nach 1989 und der digitalen Globalisierung stehen. Félix Bruzzone, Mariana Enríquez und Martín Gambarotta, Virginia Giannoni und Lucila Quieto sowie Albertina Carri und Lola Arias haben Kontra(re)präsentationen zum gewaltsamen Verschwinden entworfen, die materiell, meta-medial und kontrainformativ verfahren. Nach diskursanalytischen, repräsentations- und medientheoretischen Einführungen sowie einer Reihe terminologischer Definitionen arbeitet die Untersuchung an diesen Produktionen einer postdiktatorischen Generation, die als "Camada Cadáver" bezeichnet wird, heraus, dass ein ''Phänomen'' wie das erzwungene Verschwinden – das in vielfache Referenzlosigkeit führt – ästhetische Strategien motiviert hat, die als beispielhaft emergent und experimentell einzustufen sind, weil sie neue Erkenntnisse für die noch unabgeschlossene Erforschung eines der vielen Terrorregimes des 20. Jahrhundert liefern.
During the Argentinean dictatorship (1976-1983), tens of thousands of people were kept in secret camps, were tortured, murdered, and ''disappeared''. Most cases are difficult to reconstruct. Many of the offenders have remained unpunished. The term "forced disappearance" (Spanish desaparición forzada) was introduced for this act of state terrorism. This study addresses medial and esthetic processes that were developed in light of the debate on desaparición forzada in Argentina. At the heart of the study is the hypothesis that the violent ''depresentation'' of the victims has led to ''cognitive murder'' ("percepticidio"). The media strategy and esthetic productions analyzed in the study represent the current state of the art of the trans-generational cultural work on cognition relevant social and political experiences. The productions in the field of the study of narration, poetry, photography, film, and theater have emerged in context of the post 1989 memory-boom and digital globalization. Félix Bruzzone, Mariana Enríquez und Martín Gambarotta, Virginia Giannoni, and Lucila Quieto as well as Albertina Carri and Lola Arias have conceptualized counter(re)presentations to violent disappearance which proceed materially, meta-medially, and counter-informatively. Following introductions on discourse analysis, representation theory, and media theory as well as a number of terminology definitions, the study analyzes the above mentioned productions created by a post dictatorship generation, which are being referred to as the "Camada Cadáver", and shows that the ''phenomenon'' of forced disappearance, which leads to a repeated lack of reference, has motivated esthetic strategies that are to be classified as exemplarily emergent and experimental, because they have produced new insights for the unfinished research on one of the many terror regimes of the twentieth century.

Résumé :

Aiming to make an intervention in both emerging Slow Cinema and classical Trauma Cinema scholarship, this thesis demonstrates the ways in which the post-trauma cinema of Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz merges aesthetics of cinematic slowness with narratives of post-trauma in his films Melancholia (2008), Death in the Land of Encantos (2007) and Florentina Hubaldo, CTE (2012). Diaz has been repeatedly considered as representative of what Jonathan Romney termed in 2004 “Slow Cinema”. The director uses cinematic slowness for an alternative approach to an on-screen representation of post-trauma. Contrary to popular trauma cinema, Diaz’s portrait of individual and collective trauma focuses not on the instantenaeity but on the duration of trauma. In considering trauma as a condition and not as an event, Diaz challenges the standard aesthetical techniques used in contemporary Trauma Cinema, as highlighted by Janet Walker (2001, 2005), Susannah Radstone (2001), Roger Luckhurst (2008) and others. Diaz’s films focus instead on trauma’s latency period, the depletion of a survivor’s resources, and a character’s slow psychological breakdown. Slow Cinema scholarship has so far focused largely on the films’ aesthetics and their alleged opposition to mainstream cinema. Little work has been done in connecting the films’ form to their content. Furthermore, Trauma Cinema scholarship, as trauma films themselves, has been based on the immediate and most radical signs of post-trauma, which are characterised by instantaneity; flashbacks, sudden fears of death and sensorial overstimulation. Following Lutz Koepnick’s argument that slowness offers “intriguing perspectives” (Koepnick, 2014: 191) on how trauma can be represented in art, this thesis seeks to consider the equally important aspects of trauma duration, trauma’s latency period and the slow development of characteristic symptoms. With the present work, I expand on current notions of Trauma Cinema, which places emphasis on speed and the unpredictability of intrusive memories. Furthermore, I aim to broaden the area of Slow Cinema studies, which has so far been largely focused on the films’ respective aesthetics, by bridging form and content of the films under investigation. Rather than seeing Diaz’s slow films in isolation as a phenomenon of Slow Cinema, I seek to connect them to the existing scholarship of Trauma Cinema studies, thereby opening up a reading of his films.

Résumé :

In this dissertation I examine representations of the events surrounding the disappearance and murder of women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, in the interests of animating a sense of implication in these events among a wider public. To do so, I build on theoretical concepts developed in the work of Avery Gordon, Judith Butler, and Wendy Brown, namely the notions of hauntings, grievability, and inheritance. My approach to knowledge production builds upon Avery Gordon’s theorizing about the significance of hauntings in particular. Following Gordon, I argue that while the women disappeared from Vancouver are no longer physically “there” in the Downtown Eastside, they do indeed maintain what Gordon describes as a “seething presence” in Vancouver (and beyond), one that suggests matters of some urgency for contemporary social and political life, and so my research traces those presences as they have arisen through my engagement with a variety of cultural productions (including documentary film, photography, journalism, art, and poetry). Building on insights from each of the three theorists listed above, I argue that ethical encounters with the ghosts of the women who have been disappeared require rethinking conventional ways of understanding the relationships between self/other and past/present/future. Because the women disappeared from the Downtown Eastside are disproportionately Indigenous, I begin by investigating how histories of colonization, and in particular the frontier mythology so commonplace in western Canada, are implicated in these contemporary acts of violence. I argue that conventional understandings of space, temporality, and history are inadequate for understanding these events in all of their complexity. From there, I investigate how and why the women were initially cast, in a variety of representations, as living lives that many assumed could not be widely recognized through the framework of what Judith Butler has coined a “grievable life.” And finally, I ask after what kind of memorial practices might be most capable of hailing an “us” into relations of inheritance with the women who have been disappeared - such relations, I argue, are a necessary part of reckoning with our individual and collective implication in the disappearances of women from the Downtown Eastside.

It has been 70 years since the end of the War. The Mainlanders (Waishengren), as one of the four ethnic groups in Taiwan, have gradually disappeared in our society. The first-generation Mainlanders came to Taiwan after the War. They decided to settle on this island, considering the low odds of striking back. Despite being widely recognized by previous research as having high pro-China identity and party identification, the Mainlanders have been residents of Taiwan for three to four generations. With democratization and rise of local consciousness, under political maneuver, the term “Waishengren” has been imbued with the role of ex-suppressors and negative connotations such as being pro-China, not loving Taiwan, and privileged. In the past, the second-generation Mainlanders felt threatened because of the widening gap between personal identity and mainstream ideology and thus purposefully blurred their status of being a Waishengren to adapt to the society. In present days, do the young descendents of the Mainlanders still identify themselves as Waishengren? Has there been any change in how they identify themselves? In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted and the collected responses were analyzed to answer these questions. The results indicated that the third-generation Mainlanders, influenced by their original family, still identify themselves as Waishengren, but such identity represents only an ethnic group instead of any affective bonding with their hometown in China. As to national identity, the third-generation Mainlanders recognize themselves as Taiwanese, and the Chinese identity in them simply refers to the broadly defined Chinese people who have been cultivated in the Chinese culture. In their daily life, the third-generation Mainlanders have sufficiently assimilated into the society and are not different from other ethnic groups. Besides, influenced by the stereotypical views of Waishengren in the society, they would conceal their status of being a Waishengren. However, they disagree that their ethnic group should shoulder the blame for the improper policies of past leaders from their ethnic group and do not have a stigmatized identity. Finally, the third-generation Mainlanders would choose not to pass on the term “Waishengren” to their next generation and consider their next generation as Taiwanese, who should be free from the historic burden on their ethnic group.

The main purpose of this paper is to study how the Taiwanese people''s political identity, candidate evaluation and governance evaluation affect their voting conversion behavior. In the past, traditional Michigan studies considered that long-term political party identity is the main variable that determines voter voting behavior. However, in the study of future generations, it is also found that short-term governance evaluation and candidate evaluation have influence on voter voting behavior. This study focuses on how voters will decide their voting conversion behavior when voters'' long-term political party identity emotions conflict with short-term candidate evaluations and governance evaluations. What is the reason for the loss of the KMT vote in the 2016 presidential election? The author uses the chi-square test, the binary odds logarithmic model, and related statistical charts to analyze the 2016 presidential and legislator election interviews. The study found that the KMT’s vote was mainly due to the large return of the DPP identities and the PFP identities, while the KMT’s weaker party tends not to vote or transfer to other political parties. It seems that only party-strong identities are willing to continue voting for the KMT. In the part of the policy evaluation and candidate evaluation, he was not satisfied with Ma Ying-jeou''s administration and the voters who gave high evaluation to Tsai Ing-wen and James Soong, and instead voted for the political parties and candidates they supported. In addition, the KMT identities of the party''s weak people, if they are less satisfied with the KMT''s candidate evaluation and the governor''s administration, the higher the possibility of not voting or switching to other political parties, these factors have led to the loss of the KMT votes.

Résumé :

This study argues that the news media coverage of the disappearance of numerous Vancouver-area women devalued the importance and diminished the urgency of finding the women. The analysis focuses on 28 articles which appeared in the Vancouver Sun and the Province from July 3rd 1998 (when Vancouver Police department added a second detective to investigate the disappearances) to May l8th 1999 (when coverage focused on the future of the investigation after a reward was approved). Employing a critical analysis of the compositional, textual, and visual components of the articles, the results of this study indicate that the women’s disappearances were ranked low on the scale of newsworthiness by the editors of the newspapers resulting in sporadic coverage of the issue. The content of this coverage was dominated by reporting which, by focusing on the so-called immoral and criminal aspects of the women’s lives, depicted the missing women as a problem and held them responsible for their own disappearances. The disappearances were further devalued by the VPD who constructed a "myth of transience" whereby the women were imagined to have merely moved to another city. In perpetuating this myth, the VPD was able to excuse the scant resources they had devoted to the investigation. The influence of the myth of transience was also seen in reporting on the political response to the disappearances, especially via the creation of a "two-tiered" reward, one for any information leading to a criminal conviction and another for informing police of one of the missing women’s whereabouts. Nevertheless, the voices of advocates were also included in the news reports offering more sympathetic and realistic portrayals of the women’s lives. Despite the omissions and distortions in the media coverage during this period, the thesis concludes by arguing that studying this period closely helps us to redirect our attention to the women themselves, their families, friends, and advocates, rather than focus on the police, the suspect eventually arrested, and the subsequent court trial.

Résumé :

This study analyzes one of the most active memories of state repression during democracy in Argentina: the memorial advertisements (recordatorios) of those disappeared by the most recent military dictatorship (1976-1983), which are published on a daily basis in the newspaper Página/12. In this thesis, I focus on the pictures of the victims of state repression that appear within the frame of these memorials as the expression of both cultural and personal memory. The leader of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, published the first recordatorio on the tenth anniversary of her daughter’s death, in August 1988. During that same year, 20 relatives of disappeared people went to the newspaper and followed Carlotto’s footsteps, publishing advertisements themselves. Currently, more than 20 years after the first advertisement was published, three to five recordatorios appear in the newspaper every day. The emergence of the recordatorios inaugurates a new discursive genre as contradictory as the disappearance itself. On the one hand, they are connected to the announcements related to the search for missing people (serving the goal of finding a person alive). On the other hand, the recordatorios also resemble obituaries (making a tribute to someone that has passed away). The recordatorio thus emerges as an impossible reality, following the logic of both genres, thus performing both functions in a paradoxical way. This study focuses on the family pictures that appear in the recordatorios and sheds light on how they illustrate the entanglement of the family and the public sphere, and contribute to the debate on the role of personal subjectivity in the construction of collective memory. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the present thesis aims to capture the complexity surrounding these texts and the familial imagery they include, looking at the inherent tension between the private tragedy of a family that has lost one of its members and the public character that stems from their publication in one of Argentina’s national newspapers.
