Tuesday 23rd January – Holly Porter (London School of Economics, University of Antwerp & Ghent University)
‘After rape: violence, justice and social harmony in Uganda’
Holly Porter will give a talk based on her recent book, 'After Rape: Violence justice and social harmony in Uganda.' Following the ICC intervention in 2005, Northern Uganda has been at the heart of international justice debates. The emergent controversy, however, missed crucial aspects of Acholi realities: that the primary moral imperative in the wake of wrongdoing was not punishment but, instead, the restoration of social harmony. Drawing upon abundant fieldwork and in-depth interviews with almost 200 women, Holly Porter examines issues surrounding wrongdoing and justice, and sexual violence and rape among the Acholi people in Northern Uganda. This intricate exploration offers evidence of a more complicated and nuanced explanation of rape and its aftermath, suggesting a re-imagining of the meanings of post-atrocity justice, whilst acknowledging the role of sex, power and politics in all sexual experiences between coercion and consent.
