Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to the new issue of the Dialogues on Historical Justice and Memory Network News (formerly Historical Justice and Memory Research Network News). The Network, which operates from www.historicaldialogues.org, provides information and resources for scholars and activists working on issues of historical justice and social and public memory to encourage innovative interdisciplinary, transnational, and comparative research.
The Dialogues on Historical Justice and Memory Network is a joint initiative of the Historical Justice and Memory Research Network (HJMRN), housed at the Swinburne Institute for Social Research, Swinburne University of Technology, in Melbourne, and Columbia University’s Alliance for Historical Dialogue and Accountability (AHDA), at the Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) in New York. It draws on an international team of collaborators and affiliates.
We are pleased to present the second working paper in our new series of unpublished papers on issues of historical dialogue, historical and transitional justice, and public and social memory. The paper, “Transitional Justice and Addressing the History of Active Conflicts: The Case of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” is brought to us by Dr. Rafi Nets-Zehngut. We invite you, the members and followers of the Dialogues on Historical Justice and Memory Network, to add your own comments and questions. Thanks for reading!
Request for information about best practices in the field of historical dialogue. Please send us success stories and examples of historical dialogue that you know about or you’ve conducted or carried out that involve historical dialogue as a tool in conflict resolution or post-conflict education. Topics can be, but are not limited to, categories such as: historical commissions; addressing national trauma in memory; inclusion of historical acknowledgement in conflict resolution agreements; education and textbooks; museums. Please do NOT send activities that are framed entirely in a judicial context. We look forward to hearing from you at dialogues@columbia.edu; check our website and newsletter for updates on activities that might help you in your HD endeavors.
We are currently updating the database of researchers on our website (see http://historicaldialogues.org/affiliates/database-of-researchers/). The database lists researchers who working on issues of historical historical dialogue, historical and transitional justice, and public and social memory and have published at least one substantial article in an international refereed journal. If you would like to be included in that database, or if you would like to update your details, please send an email to historicaljustice@swin.edu.au.
Book Symposium- Special Call for Contributions
The Dialogues will be hosting a book symposium during the conference to mark the publication of Transitional Justice in Established Democracies: A Political Theory. Described by Margaret Urban Walker as a ‘tour de force’, and by Janna Thompson as ‘remarkable’, this book by Stephen Winter unifies the work of administrative, corrective and restorative justice in a single theory. The Dialogues is seeking two to three contributors to a join a symposium on this ground-breaking work. Those interested should contact Ariella Lang at dialogues@columbia.edu for more information.
We also draw your attention to our latest book reviews:
Yves Laberge’s review of Catherine Guisan (2012), A Political Theory of Identity in European Integration. Memory and Policies
Lia Kent’s review of Susanne Buckley-Zistel and Ruth Stanley,eds (2011), Gender and Transitional Justice
Daniel Anderson’s review of Angelica Nuzzo (2012), Memory, History, Justice in Hegel
