Difficult Stories that Haunt: Towards Research Otherwise in Transitional Justice
∞ Stories of suffering, loss and injury encountered in transitional justice research are difficult. They generate affective responses of sadness, guilt, shame and, often, denial of responsibility. Difficult stories are also haunting. They reveal ongoing structural injustices, and in their insistence, challenge claims that the past is over and done with. In this article, we argue that engaging with difficult stories as haunting can propel us towar…
Living Archives: Mothers, Children, and Embodied Memory Work in Northern Uganda
Transitional justice and International Relations scholarship has largely discussed children—be they child soldiers, children born of war, or children more generally—as innocent, potential, or actual victims, and in need of protection, denying their agency, and political subjectivity. At the same time, knowledge production in these fields and especially our understanding of archives as repositories from which we write history, has centred on the p…
The politics of methods in transitional justice knowledge production
This article is concerned with how practices of knowledge production relate to the international politics of transitional justice (TJ). It argues that quantitative scholarly studies-called for in response to the anecdotal and normative studies that prevailed in early TJ scholarship and which, it is argued, continue to shape TJ sub-fields such as the study of local justice-are themselves committed to the normative framework and the goals of TJ tha…
Des précurseurs de la collecte de documents au procès Barbie et au-delà: Le rôle central du télégramme d’Izieu dans la justice transitionnelle

In doing so the authors apply the concepts of activation and the records c…

Beyond evidence: The use of archives in transitional justice
Currently there is little systematic knowledge about the underlying processes of record creation, archive production and preservation or the usage of archives within transitional justice (TJ). In this introduction to the special issue on the use of archives in TJ, we identify four main areas in which gaps exist: methodological particularities in researching archives in TJ contexts; a deficit in our knowledge on the role of the archivist in the ar…
