Provocation and Motivation
The provocations of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies demand earnest reflection not only on how humans should ethically respond to these provocations but also demands earnest reflection on the nature of these provocations themselves. What is provocation? Do the provocations of artificial intelligence and emerging technology differ from other kinds of provocations? This response considers these questions in light of St. Edith Stein…
“Involucrado en algo”
Este artículo responde empíricamente a la pregunta que alguna vez planteó Stan Cohen: “¿por qué la ‘reacción’ al sufrimiento y al dolor de otros —particularmente al sufrimiento y al dolor que resultan de lo que llamamos ‘violaciones de los derechos humanos’— toma, con tanta frecuencia, forma de negación, evasión, pasividad, indiferencia, justificación o colusión?”. Nuestro contexto es la “guerra contra las drogas” en México. Desde 2006, esta “gue…
Involved in something (involucrado en algo)
This article responds empirically to the question posed by Stan Cohen about "why, when faced by knowledge of others' suffering and pain-particularly the suffering and pain resulting from what are called 'human rights violations'-does 'reaction' so often take the form of denial, avoidance, passivity, indifference, rationalisation or collusion?". Our context is Mexico's "war on drugs." Since 2006 this "war" has claimed the lives of around 240,000 M…
Human rights, human remains
This article has three parts. First, it identifies, defines and characterises a distinctive trend in modern humanitarianism: that of 'forensic humanitarianism'. Forensic humanitarianism is often deployed in the wake of atrocity to answer two questions: who are the dead, and how were they killed? These questions have been addressed in diverse contexts with the aim of establishing accountability for atrocities and identifying and returning the dead…
Looking without seeing, listening without hearing’
I was hugely fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach with, and learn from, Stan Cohen during our shared years at the LSE. It was a chance meeting with him that led me to apply for a job in the Sociology Department/Human Rights Centre at the LSE where I have worked since 2004. Stan became a mentor, friend and inspiration to me from the outset. Stan was a vital figure in the emergence, life and direction of the Human Rights Centre where I ta…
Interpreters of the Dead
Forensic anthropology makes particular professional claims – scientific, probative, humanitarian, historical, political and deterrent – which attempt to finalise interpretations of the past. However, I argue that these claims conceal a range of contests and conflicts around the social, political, legal and scientific significance of human remains. I look at the ways in which forensic work is embedded within a network of artefacts, actors and inst…
Who’ll Pay Reparations on My Soul?’ 1 Compensation, Social Control and Social Suffering
Contemporary debate about compensation for past wrongs turns on the assumption that state reparation benefits the victims of atrocity by acknowledging harm and ameliorating victim suffering. Indeed, much recent theoretical and practical work has concurred to establish reparation to victims of state crimes as a cornerstone of human rights. However, this article argues that reparation can also function to placate victim demands for criminal justice…
What One Sees and How One Files Seeing
This article argues that the forms through which violence and atrocity are expressed - legal, statistical and testimonial - are important objects of analysis because credo is manifest in form, and an examination of form reveals something about the relationship between the 'world view' of human rights organizations and the 'styles of thought' that shape and inform their representations. The article considers what the discursive forms that seem ind…
The crime of crimes and the crime of criminology
Blight of the last century and inauspicious marker of this one, genocide is frequently referred to as the ‘crime of crimes’. As such, it is extraordinary that Anglo-American criminology has not properly applied itself to its study. Criminology's neglect of supranational crime such as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide is all the more striking given their prominence on the international political agenda since 1945. Since then, we mig…
TheBritish Journal of Sociologyin the 1990s
Lacking any coherent definition of the field and blessed by a democratic attitude, our ark accepts animals, plants, rocks, bicycles, junked cars - you name it - which, in turn, makes it harder and harder to turn anything away. (Davis 1994: 189) When I announced to a colleague that I had been tasked with surveying the British Journal of Sociology in the 1990s, he grunted 'rather you than me'. It was with huge trepidation that I approached a decade…
Healing Past Violence
Since South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), a therapeutic moral order has become one of the dominant frameworks within which states attempt to deal with a legacy of violent conflict. As a consequence, the grammar of trauma, suffering, repression, denial, closure, truth-revelation, and catharsis has become almost axiomatic to postconflict state-building. The rise of the postconflict therapeutic framework is tied, ineluctably, t…
Home Visitor Competence, Burnout, Support, and Client Engagement
Home visitor characteristics, on-the-job training and support, job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover were examined over a five-year period. Home visitors were adequately trained, and scored high on measures of knowledge, competence, psychological functioning (indicated by measures of burnout and depression), and job satisfaction at program entry. Over time, home visitation was associated with higher emotional exhaustion and lower job satisfacti…
Narrating Political Reconciliation
This article enquires into the narration of reconciliation in South Africa and its political implications. It scrutinizes the subjects, objects and material practices that flow from the reconciliation story. The investigation turns on two crucial assumptions: (a) that discourse is an ideological system of meaning that constitutes and naturalizes the subjects and objects of political life, and (b) that narrative is a special discursive form, the s…
