Opis: The Politics of Trauma and Peace-Building - Cillian McGrattan
In marked contrast to literary, historical and cultural studies, there has been a limited engagement with the concepts and politics of trauma by political science and peacebuilding research. This book explores the debate on trauma and peacebuilding and presents the challenges for democratization that the politics of trauma present in transitional periods. It demonstrates how ideas about reconciliation are filtered through ideological lenses and become new ways of articulating communal and ethno-nationalist sentiments. Drawing on the work of Jacques Ranciere and Iris Marion Young and with specific reference to the Northern Irish transition, it argues for a shift in focus from the representation of trauma towards its reception and calls for a more substantive approach to the study of democracy and post-conflict peacebuilding. This text will be of interest to scholars and students of peace and conflict studies, ethnic and nationalism studies, transitional justice studies, gender studies, Irish politics, nationalism and ethnicity.Introduction 1 The Politics of Trauma 2 Peacebuilding and the Politics of Responsibility 3 Peace-Building as Community Politics in Northern Ireland 4 Drawing on the Past: Ideology, Reconciliation and Nationalism in Northern Ireland 5 Historical Accountability and the Democratization of Memory 6 Literarity and Historical Responsibility Conclusion: Lessons from Northern Ireland
