Abstract

ABSTRACT The violence and related crimes committed during the genocide against the Tutsi, April-July 1994, led to the creation of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. This international machinery of justice was located in the neighbouring country of Tanzania. The often complex, draining, meandering, problem-prone legal proceedings, sprawling across 21 years generated a rich and diverse archive containing fragments of pre-genocide, genocide and post-genocide periods. This somewhat side-lined archive is an interplay between plural experiences, memory, dialogue, power, and users. Atrocity archives and their material are sites of stimulation. They stimulate memory, dialogue, and the senses. The senses accompany all those who adventure with archive material. Accompany in both obvious and more subtle ways, which nonetheless can be profound. The stimulation of visual material is compelling, although sound, taste, touch, smell can equally weave, entwine and manifest during archival encounters.

暴行档案:过去-现在-未来的感官表达

1994年4月至7月对图西族人的种族灭绝期间发生的暴力和相关罪行导致了卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭的成立。这一国际司法机构设在邻国坦桑尼亚。21年来，这些复杂、耗费精力、曲折、容易出现问题的法律诉讼产生了丰富多样的档案，其中包含了种族灭绝前、种族灭绝和种族灭绝后时期的片段。这个有点边缘化的档案是多元体验、记忆、对话、权力和用户之间的相互作用。暴行档案及其材料是刺激的场所。它们刺激记忆、对话和感官。感官伴随着所有那些冒险与档案材料。无论是明显的陪伴还是更微妙的陪伴，都可以是深刻的。视觉材料的刺激是引人注目的，尽管声音、味觉、触觉和嗅觉同样可以在档案接触中交织、纠缠和显现。

期刊介绍： Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
