Title of Session: Exploring possibilities of reconciliation
The proposed panel calls for papers that examine the concept of
reconciliation through interrogating the language and narratives of
persons affected by strife of personal or collective experience, which can
include affective or physical abuse and conflict, war and human rights
violations, atrocities such as mass killings, massacre and Genocide. We
are looking for papers that are interdisciplinary in their perspective and
are critical in the current language of post-conflict resolution
discourse. We are particularly interested in feminist and new activist
approaches.
Kindly send abstracts of a about 100 words to maramaki@alcor.concordia.ca, aprhsma@alcor.concordia.ca by December 31, 2010.
