Remembering Mass Violence breaks new ground in oral history, new media, and performance studies by exploring what is at stake when we attempt to represent war, genocide, and other violations of human rights in a variety of creative works.
"Remembering Mass Violence weaves together a diverse and fascinating series of narratives, be they academic, creative, or witness accounts, while also highlighting media-enhanced and art-inspired appropriations and interpretations of trauma testimonies." -- Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, Department of Religion and Culture, St Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan "This is an innovative, interesting project. The investments of each of the authors are admirable; their concerns are important. Drawing on 'new media' and other innovative art forms, the contributors bridge personal memory, public knowledge, and history." -- Pamela Sugiman, Department of Sociology, Ryerson University
