Fratricide and Fraternité

OVERVIEW History is replete with examples of neighbours killing neighbours. This seminar series explores the causes and consequences of neighbourly atrocities across history, cultures, and continents. It seeks to answer two overarching and inter-related questions: (1) what turns neighbour against neighbour? and (2) how do neighbours live together again after atrocity? The seminars will bring together the ten Institutes in the School of Advanced Study (University of London), as well as a range of distinguished British and international scholars, to investigate neighbourly atrocities from an extensive range of thematic, disciplinary, methodological, geographic, and temporal perspectives.

Central Questions The series is organised into two parts. The first half examines the causes and manifestations of neighbourly violence. In these sessions, we will answer several troubling questions about neighbourly atrocity: • What causes neighbour to turn against neighbour?

• When and why does close proximity lead to barbarity?

• Do different ethical and cultural traditions, with their varying obligations towards neighbours, affect the existence or levels of neighbourly violence?

• To what extent is there a deep structure or common logic to neighbourly violence that crosses different cultures and historical periods?

• What is the relationship between the larger causes of conflict and the local-level patterns of violence?

• Why are rape, sexual violence, and sexual mutilation endemic features of so much neighbourly violence?

The second half of the series will explore the profound political, social, moral, and cultural consequences of mass violence for individuals and communities. We will answer persistent questions about the possibility of social repair at the local level: • How, if at all, do neighbours live together again after atrocity?

• How can cycles of violence in local communities be broken?

• How do neighbours understand, interpret, remember, and narrate atrocity among themselves – both individually and collectively?

• Do good fences make better neighbours?

• What forms of truth-telling and justice, if any, lead to reconciliation at the local level?

• What are the factors that enable those who have suffered sexual violence and children born of such violence to be accepted by their families, neighbours, and communities?

Comparisons and Thematic ‘Threads’ To answer the central questions, the series is structured thematically and will employ historical, cultural, and disciplinary comparisons both across and within the sessions. Four thematic ‘threads’ will run through the series: Identity. We will explore how identity is both socially constructed and politically manipulated before, during, and after mass violence. Examining how violence and narratives of violence contribute to identity formation will underscore the conceptual and moral difficulties of classifying individuals as perpetrators, victims, bystanders, and rescuers.

Agency. The issue of agency is inextricably intertwined with that of identity. Does the focus on elites inadvertently risk denying agency to, and excusing violence by, non-elites? Yet, how should we legally and morally weigh the intra-group pressure (both coercion and conformity) that often pushes ordinary neighbours to participate in violence? Another way agency comes into play is through the depiction of “victims” – particularly women and children – as acted-upon rather than as actors in their own right.

Local. The seminar series will examine the local-level dynamics of atrocity and reconciliation, while recognising that the local is inseparably linked to the national and global.

Everyday violence. What is the relationship between everyday violence and extraordinary atrocity? At the local level, there appears to be a complicated dynamic as communities move from everyday to extraordinary violence and from extraordinary to everyday violence, with each shaping the other. In the wake of conflict, violence may express itself in new, more insidious forms, like post-apartheid South Africa’s epidemic of sexual violence.

Organisers Principal Organiser Lars Waldorf (Senior Lecturer, Centre for Applied Human Rights, University of York) is assisted by Postdoctoral Fellow Kirrily Pells (School of Advanced Study) and Graduate Fellows Hope Wolf (King's College London) and Paul Moore (Birkbeck).

SPEAKERS BIOGRAPHIES Anne Aghion is a documentary filmmaker whose work has earned her, among other honors, a UNESCO Fellini Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Emmy Award, and the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival’s Nestor Almendros Award for Courage in Filmmaking. My Neighbor My Killer was accepted as an Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival.

Two of her previous films on Rwanda – Gacaca, Living Together Again in Rwanda and In Rwanda We Say…The Family That Does Not Speak Dies – are hour-long works which aired on the Sundance Channel and ARTE among other networks around the world. Both films have been used by peace-building organizations as a tool in understanding “heart and mind” issues in societies recovering from strife. They have also been screened in Rwanda by NGOs as part of their training, and most remarkably, to tens of thousands of confessed genocide killers before their release from prison. Her most recent hour-long film – The Notebooks Of Memory – completes the Gacaca Trilogy. Earlier in 2009, Aghion released the feature documentary, Ice People, which explores the physical, emotional and spiritual adventure of doing science in Antarctica, the earth’s most challenging environment.

David M. Anderson is Professor of African Politics and a Fellow of St. Cross College at the University of Oxford. He has published widely on the history of eastern Africa, and is a regular contributor to political analysis on the region. Since 2007, he has edited the Journal of Eastern African Studies. His books include Eroding the Commons: Politics of Ecology in Baringo, Kenya (2002), Histories of the Hanged: Britain’s Dirty War in Kenya and the End of Empire (2005), and The Khat Controversy (2007). A recently completed monograph, Uncivil Society: Politics and Violence in Kenya, will be published in 2010.

Adam Ashforth teaches in the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. He has published extensively on state formation and the politics of everyday life in South Africa. He is currently researching responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in everyday life in rural Malawi and ethnic conflict in Kenya's Rift Valley. His publications include three books: The Politics of Official Discourse in Twentieth-Century South Africa (Oxford, 1990); Madumo, A Man Bewitched (Chicago, 2000); and Witchcraft,Violence, and Democracy in South Africa (Chicago, 2005) [winner of the Herskovits Award, 2005].

Kristin M. Bakke is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at University College London. Prior to joining UCL, she was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (20072008) and an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Leiden University (2008-2009). Since 2008, she has been a Research Associate at the Peace Research Institute, Oslo. She is currently working on a manuscript called Preserving Peace?

Decentralization and Intrastate Struggles, which aims to better understand decentralized states’ diverse capacity to contain the often violent struggles between ethnic minority groups and the states in which they live. The manuscript combines a statistical study of intrastate conflicts with case studies of self-determination struggles in three federations: Chechnya’s relationship to Moscow, Punjab’s relationship to Delhi, and Québec’s relationship to Ottawa. With support from the National Science Foundation (USA) and the Chr. Michelsen Institute (Norway), Dr. Bakke spent ten months conducting fieldwork in Russia, India, and Canada. While the book manuscript explores how conflicts can be avoided, Dr. Bakke is also working on a collaborative project that examines the effects of violent conflicts (with Michael D. Ward, John O’Loughlin, and Xun Cao). Based on surveys carried out in Bosnia and Russia’s North Caucasus region, the project investigates inter-ethnic attitudes in conflict-affected societies.

Suzanne Bardgett is Head of Holocaust and Genocide History at the Imperial War Museum. She studied History at Durham University and shortly afterwards joined the IWM, working in the fields of exhibitions, publications and education.

She later helped establish and edited the Imperial War Museum Review, an academic journal of articles by the staff of the Museum. From 1995 to 2000 she led the team that created the Holocaust Exhibition at the IWM, the 1200 square metre narrative exhibition which employs film, artefacts, photographs and other evidence to tell the history of the persecution of the Jews and other groups by the Nazi regime. She subsequently directed Crimes against Humanity: an exploration of genocide and ethnic violence, an exhibition using a 30 minute film and interactive videos to shed light on the common features shared by the genocides of the last one hundred years. From 2004 to 2007 she was involved as consulting director in the establishment of the Srebrenica Memorial Room in Bosnia-Hercegovina, a project which drew on lessons learned in both the earlier IWM exhibitions. She is one of the four organisers of the Beyond Camps and Forced Labour conference – an international conference into research into survivors of Nazi persecution which has taken place three times at the IWM in 2003, 2006 and 2009. Her publications include numerous articles about the above and most recently a chapter on the collecting of Holocaust-related artefacts.

Vikki Bell is Professor of Sociology at Goldsmith’s College, University of London. Her research interests include: contemporary social and cultural theory and its twentieth century genealogies; feminist theory, ethics and politics; the production and regulation of sexuality, racialised and gender difference; performativity as key concept of critical thought; political rhetorics; transitional justice, especially in relation to cultural processes, theories of democracy and concepts of peace and especially in relation to Northern Ireland; the social and legal regulation of childhood; aesthetics and politics, especially in relation to Argentina. Her publications include: Culture & Performance: The Challenge of Ethics, Politics and Feminist Theory (2007); Feminist Imagination: Genealogies in Feminist Theory (1999); Belonging and Performativity (edited collection) (1999); Interrogating Incest: Feminism, Foucault and the Law (1993).

Mats Berdal is Professor of War Studies at King’s College London. He has recently completed Building Peace after War (Routledge, 2009), a critical assessment of international efforts from Cambodia to Iraq to consolidate peace in the

aftermath of war. His principal research project at the moment is a major study of the UN and the end of the Cold War, a book that covers the immediate post-Cold War period and focuses in particular on the UN's involvement in the mitigation, containment and resolution of civil wars. Recent writings have focused on developments at the UN since the start of the war in Iraq in 2003, NATO at 60, and the political economy of armed conflict. Other research interests include violence in post-conflict societies, the changing character of war, the evolution of NATO, developments in UN peacekeeping and Philip Windsor's contribution to the study of International Relations, in particular his ideas on strategy and war.

Sumantra Bose is Professor of International and Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics, whose publications include books on the Kashmir conflict (2003), and international intervention and state-building in BosniaHerzegovina (2002). His most recent book, Contested Lands: Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Cyprus, and Sri Lanka (2007) is a study of the challenges of making and sustaining peace in the world's most intractable disputes over land and sovereignty. Professor Bose is now working on a major book on contemporary India, focused on social and political transformations in the past two decades and on India's gradual emergence as a global power in the early 21st century. It will be published by Harvard University Press in 2013.

Ralf Brand is Lecturer at the Manchester Architecture Research Centre. In his Ph.D. in Community and Regional Planning (University of Texas-Austin) he developed the concept of co-evolutionary dynamics in urban socio-technical assemblages.

He employs this angle to investigate contested cities such as Belfast, Beirut, Berlin and Amsterdam. See www.urbanpolarisation.org and www.ralfbrand.com for further information.

Ananda Breed is Senior Lecturer at the University of East London. She has facilitated workshops for the UN Special Session for Children, UN Third World Water Forum, and the New York City Hall Forum Theatre and Video Initiative. Ananda has conducted research in Rwanda, Congo, and Burundi. In addition to theatre in relation to conflict, Ananda has codirected a participatory theatre project based on domestic violence in Rwanda which was funded by the Ministry of Justice.

She has trained theatre practitioners in participatory theatre methodology for Search for Common Ground in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She recently facilitated a youth-based project – “Promoting Tolerance and Dialogue Through Interactive Theatre in Eastern Indonesia” – working with artists and educators in four areas of conflict in collaboration with the Center for Civic Education Indonesia (CCEI) and The International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX).

Thomas Brudholm is Associate Professor of Minority Research Theory at the University of Copenhagen. His fields of interest include transitional justice, the ethics of reconciliation, and minority-majority relations. Currently, he is combining a study of philosophical concepts of hatred with an exploration of modern and interdisciplinary controversies concerning the nature and significance of hatred in ethnic violence, criminal law and international conflict-resolution. Brudholm is editor and contributor to several books, including The Religious in Responses to Mass Atrocity (Cambridge University Press 2009). In 2008, he published Resentment's Virtue (Temple University Press), arguing the case for the need to take more seriously the significance of the "negative" emotions in post-conflict societies. He has contributed articles to the Journal of Human Rights, Hypatia, Law & Contemporary Problems, and the Hedgehog Review.

Chris Coulter is a Researcher and Lecturer at Uppsala University, Sweden and an independent consultant. She has a PhD in Anthropology from Uppsala University where she has specialized on gender, conflict, and post-conflict rehabilitation. Her thematic expertise includes areas such as conflict analysis, humanitarian aid, youth and refugees in war and conflict zones, all with a gender perspective. Issues of femininity, masculinity and violence, as well as the psychosocial effects of war and violence (including the spheres of post-traumatic experiences) is also very much in line with her research. She is author of the book Bush Wives and Girl Soldiers: Women’s Lives through War and Peace in Sierra Leone (2009) and co-author of Young Female Fighters in African Wars: Conflict and its Consequences (2008). Chris has worked mainly in Sierra Leone, but has also carried out several consultancies, assessments, and evaluation assignments on gender issues in Kenya, Zambia, Sudan, Liberia for SIDA and UNICEF. Graham Dawson is a Reader in Cultural History and Director of the Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories at the University of Brighton. His research has focused on the interrelation of cultural memory, narrative and identity, and the memory of war in modern times. He is author of Soldier Heroes: British Adventure, Empire and the Imagining of Masculinities (Routledge, 1994), and Making Peace with the Past? Memory, Trauma and the Irish Troubles (Manchester University Press, 2007). He is also co-editor of Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors and Commemorating War: The Politics of Memory (both Transaction, 2004); and, with Louise Purbrick and Jim Aulich, of Contested Spaces: Sites, Representations and Histories of Conflict (Palgrave MacMillan, 2007). His current work explores cultural strategies for dealing with the past in post-conflict cultures, particularly in the aftermath of the Irish Troubles.

Nigel Eltringham is Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Sussex. Between 1996 and 1999, Nigel carried out doctoral research among members of the political class in Rwanda and the Rwandan diaspora in Europe. His research explored how these two constituencies accounted for the 1994 genocide and the ways in which they shared epistemological assumptions and representational practices beyond substantive dissension. The results of this research have been published as Accounting for Horror: Post-Genocide Debates in Rwanda (Pluto, 2004). He has, in addition, published on the dilemmas of researching contexts of violence and genocide (in The Ethics of Anthropology Debates and Dilemmas (Routledge, 2003)). Nigel is currently conducting research on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (Arusha, Tanzania) supported by the Nuffield Foundation and the British Academy.

Lea Esterhuizen has focused substantively on state-sponsored violence and genocide as well as the needs and priorities of social entrepreneurs, refugees and children facing violence and deprivation. She has taught in the social sciences at universities in South Africa (University of Cape Town, University of Stellenbosch), and in the UK (University of London: Royal Holloway and the School of Advanced Study). Lea has also worked across a range of sectors (education sector, refugee sector, social entrepreneurship and child rights) and contexts (South Africa, UK, doctoral research in Bosnia Hercegovina and current work in countries across the MENA region). Her passion for participatory work with children on child rights research and action has led her into the work she is currently doing for Save the Children Sweden on their three year project: Civil Society for Child Society for Child Rights in the MENA Region. She is also currently working towards starting a new initiative to enable evidence-to-action projects driven by children and adult collaborators in South Africa.

Sverker Finnström is associate professor in cultural anthropology. Starting from 1997, he has conducted recurrent fieldwork in Acholiland, northern Uganda, with a focus on young adults living in the immediate shadows of civil war. Besides his articles, popular and academic, he has authored Living with Bad Surroundings: War, History, and Everyday Moments in Northern Uganda (Duke University Press, 2008), for which he received the 2009 Margaret Mead Award. He divides his time between The Department of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University, where he teaches, and The Hugo Valentin Centre, Uppsala University, where he is a researcher in political violence and genocide studies. Finnström currently investigates violent conflict in emerging global realities, with the aim to develop an analytical framework that can advance our understanding of the global travels of war, made manifest in life stories and lived experiences, or what he calls existential fracture lines.

Sara Fregonese is currently a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow at Royal Holloway, Univeristy of London. Her PhD in Geography from Newcastle University in 2008 was entitled “City, war and geopolitics: Political violence and Beirut’s built environment in the Lebanese civil war”. Sara’s empirical research focuses on Lebanon, and adopts ethnographic methods to expose the everyday processes of urban contestation. Her interest develops around three thematic strands: urbicide and the role of the urban built environment in conflict; state and non-state geopolitical knowledges; and the violent geographies of sectarianism and Lebanon’s colonial past. In 2008 and 2009, Sara participated in the project “The Urban Environment: Mirror and Mediator of Radicalisation” (http://tinyurl.com/2avl76) within the ESRC/AHRC+FCO-funded programme “New Security Challenges: A Critical Reassessment”. The project investigates mutual links between urban materiality and social polarisation. Sara conducted fieldwork in Amsterdam, Beirut, and Belfast, Berlin and co-authored an FCO report about the utility of including urban and material aspects into the analysis of social polarisation (http://tinyurl.com/9ja8b7).

Jan T. Gross is the Norman B. Tomlinson ‘16 and ‘48 Professor of War and Society at Princeton University. His first book, Polish Society under German Occupation, appeared in 1979. Revolution from Abroad (1988) analyzes how the Soviet regime was imposed in Poland and the Baltic States between 1939 and 1941. Neighbors (2001), reconstructs the events that took place in July 1941 in the small Polish town of Jedwabne. Using eyewitness testimony, Professor Gross demonstrates that the Jews of Jedwabne were murdered by their Polish neighbors “not by the German occupiers, as previously assumed.” The shocking story occasioned an unprecedented reevaluation of Jewish-Polish relations during World War II and touched off passionate debate. In 2004 many of the Polish voices in this debate were published in translation in a collection, The Neighbors Respond. Professor Gross is also the author of several books in Polish, the coeditor of The Politics of Retribution in Europe: World War II and Its Aftermath (2000), and the coeditor with Irena Grudzinska-Gross of War Through Children’s Eyes (1981). Professor Gross has recently finished a book on anti-Semitism in Poland after World War II and co-authored a study entitled Uncivil Society: Communist Implosion in 1989 (2009). He is now writing a book on the plunder of Jews by the local population in Nazi-occupied Europe.

Jason Hart is a Lecturer in International Development at the University of Bath. He is a social anthropologist by training (BA, MA, Ph.D University of London). He joined the University of Bath in September 2009 after seven years as a researcher and lecturer at the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford. Much of Jason’s work has explored the experience of young people on the margins of society and the global economy: relating these to the values, assumptions and approaches of agencies seeking to provide support. This has led to consideration of themes such as protection, child rights, peacebuilding, militarisation and asylum, seeking increasingly to integrate perspectives from anthropology and politicaleconomy. Children living in situations of political violence and forced displacement have been a particular focus of much of his research and writing. Jason has worked in South Asia (Sri Lanka, Nepal, India and Bhutan) and, to a limited extent, East Africa. However, his principal area of interest is the Middle East, particularly Israel / occupied Palestinian territories and Jordan. Since completing his doctorate, Jason has been employed as a consultant author, researcher, evaluator and trainer by various UN and non-governmental organisations. These include UNICEF, Save the Children, PLAN, Care International, and the Canadian International Development Agency. He has also served as an advisor to the UN in the formulation of studies, guidelines and policies.

Thompson edited the anthology Northern Constellations: New Readings in Nordic Cinema (Norvik Press, 2006) and her work on Nordic and Scottish literature and film has appeared in various books and journals including New Cinemas: Journal of Contemporary Film, Synsvinkler: Tidskrift for nordisk sprog og litteratur, Scandinavica, and Language and Literature. Ongoing projects include a volume on the film Festen, and an anthology of eco-critical essays on Nordic culture, in collaboration with Christopher Oscarson of Brigham Young University.

Her research interests lie primarily in twentieth-century music historiography and the anthropology of music (particularly in connection with colonisation). She has published extensively on music in Cold War Hungary, and more recently on the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Since Summer 2008 Rachel has been working on a project funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and based in Berlin.

Hope Wolf studied History (BA) and English (MPhil, ‘Criticism and Culture’) at Cambridge University. She is now completing a PhD in English Literature, supported by an AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Award between King’s College, London and the Imperial War Museum. For the past three years she has lectured and convened the second-year undergraduate course in ‘First World War Literature’ at King’s. She has published in the Times Literary Supplement and Routledge Contemporary Theatre Review, and has presented papers at Museum and University conferences in the UK and USA. Hope is committed to interdisciplinary research, and is interested in the mediation of conflict in Literature, LifeWriting, Film and Museum exhibits. Her thesis explores an archive of approximately 20,000 letters: all written between 1963-4; all responding to a set of requests the BBC published in the national and international press for "vivid" remembrances of the 1914-18 period. These letters would be used to produce an ambitious twenty-six part documentary series, ‘The Great War’ (1964). The thesis reads these predominantly anecdotal letters alongside twentieth-century and contemporary theories of “myth”, “humour” and “immediacy”, and discusses the complex ways in which they give and hold back information.

Dr. Zylinska is currently working on a new conceptualisation of bioethics, conducted via an engagement with the work of Levinas, Derrida, Stiegler, Agamben and feminist ‘science and culture’ studies. She is also looking at different forms of bioart, and the aesthetic and ethical issues it brings up. Publications include: Imaginary Neighbors: Mediating Polish-Jewish Relations after the Holocaust (2007), a collection co-edited with Dorota Glowacka, and The Ethics of Cultural Studies (2005).
