Proposed panel on *Martyrdom, Memorialization, and Militarization*
Organizers: Haley Duschinski (Ohio University) and Ather Zia (University of
California – Irvine)
This panel examines forms of memorialization that occur, not in the
transition from authoritarian rule to democratic governance, but rather in
the authoritarian present, for people living under ongoing conditions of
state military violence.
We are interested in papers that ethnographically explore various aspects
of this process, including (1) how state militarization, which pervades
every social and political institution of life in authoritarian regimes,
shapes the possibilities and perils of memorialization, commemoration, and
truth-telling; (2) how communities living under such conditions pursue a
range of everyday truth-telling projects – martyr’s graveyards, people’s
tribunals, visual and performative art, street shrines, and others – as
they work to express social realities, build popular solidarities, and
pursue resistance strategies against state domination; and (3) how
questions of truth and justice are contested and negotiated through
processes of memorywork under conditions of authoritarian rule.
We welcome papers from all world regions. If you are interested in
participating in the panel, please send an email message briefly outlining
your paper to Haley Duschinski ([log in to unmask]) *as soon as possible.*
THANKS.
