The Archive as Confessional
Video archives often have a stated purpose of displaying ‘understanding’ for the viewer.

This question, I suggest in this article, haunts the testimonies of people described as ‘perpetrators’ who speak in video archives. This arti…
The politics of ‘whataboutery’
Trauma demands a melancholic orientation to the past, a wish to recover what is lost. In conflicts located in long histories of political difference, a focus on the traumas acquired through the violences of the past is crucial, but this focus may do more than inform the politics of the present.

The Jouissance of the Torturer in Zero Dark Thirty and the Enjoyment of the Unacceptable
In the scene of torture we can see a paradox at work in which the torturer is both sanctioned by positive law and prohibited by oedipal law. This latter prohibition brings the perpetrator into the proximity of, what can be understood as a Lacanian mode of jouissance, an enjoyment that both defies and demands the law. This enjoyment can be seen in the film Zero-Dark-Thirty in which the torturers animate the tortured to, arguably, further their enj…
