Special Issue: The Erasure and Revitalization of Indigenous Cultures and Languages

The Azerbaijani Blockade of the Lachin Corridor and the ICJ Decision: Can the Destruction of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the NKR Armenian People Be Prevented
“I definitely felt like I was there”: Enacting empathy and negotiating a virtual reality Indian Residential School
We examine how 20 university students interacted with a virtual Residential School that was designed in partnership with a group of Indigenous Survivors of Canada’s Residential Schools system. We begin by offering a brief history of Canada’s Residential Schools system as well as the origins and ambitions of the Embodying Empathy project. We also reflect on the idea of empathy as it has been taken up both in the design and testing phases of the pr…
Deterritorializing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
This article explains the value of assemblage theory to making sense of a museum like the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), which has struggled with the formidable challenge of comparatively representing human rights in controversial cultural and historical contexts. I argue that "assemblage thinking" permits us to appreciate more richly the way in which the expressive power of the CMHR arises from the dynamic interaction/intersection of o…
Risky Times and Spaces: Settler Colonialism and Multiplying Genocide Prevention through a Virtual Indian Residential School
In this article, we examine how the logic of genocide prevention aligns with a settler colonial logic of elimination. We examine how the exclusion of cultural techniques of destruction from consideration contributes to the logic of elimination, and we suggest this is, in part, a structural problem built into the logic of genocide prevention. Along these lines, we interrogate linear and molar approaches to genocide prevention and propose, in addit…
The Idea of a Human Rights Museum
The Idea of a Human Rights Museum is the first book to examine the formation of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and to situate the museum within the context of the international proliferation of such institutions

Notes Toward a Theory of Nostalgia: Childhood and the Evocation of the Past in Two European "Heritage" Films
This essay centers on the moral and socio-political dimensions of the European colonial experience as represented in its historical aspect in two so-called "heritage" films, Claire Denis' Chocolat (France, 1988) and Caroline Link's Nowhere in Africa (Germany, 2002). The real weight of this argument, however, falls on the specification of nostalgia, on accounting for its conceptual history and diagnosing its somatic effects in these works and else…
Concepts of Culture: Art, Politics, And Society
Realism/Anti-Realism: A Debate
Red: I am. I'm sorry to say that I don't really see how a debate on this topic can be very relevant today. Hasn't it become amply apparent that the concepts and distinctions of classical epistemology, beginning with the philosophical paradigm of subject/object, have been superseded by contemporary developments? Quantum physics and the uncertainty principle, for example, have revealed the absence of any sharp distinction between the observing syst…
