Samenvatting

This pioneering collection examines the practices surrounding human remains in post-conflict societies, using a unique set of case studies that span multiple disciplines and geographic areas.

This collection presents a ground-breaking account of the treatment and commemoration of dead bodies resulting from incidents of genocide and mass violence. Whether reburied, concealed, stored, abandoned or publicly displayed, human remains raise a vast number of questions regarding social, legal and ethical uses by communities, public institutions and civil society organisations.

Through a diverse range of international case studies, across multiple continents, this highly innovative book brings together pioneering research from social scientists, historians and archaeologists into the role of mass crime's most visible evidence. It explores the effect of dead bodies or body parts, either desired or unintended, on various political, cultural or religious practices. How, for instance, do issues of confiscation, concealment or the destruction of human remains in mass crime impact on transitional processes, commemoration or judicial procedures? When are dead bodies hidden from view and when are they publicly reintegrated into society?

Multidisciplinary in scope, Human remains and society will appeal to readers interested in the crucial phase of post-conflict reconciliation and the ways in which a society comes to terms with its violent past. This includes students and researchers of history, anthropology, sociology, archaeology, law, politics and modern warfare.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
