It examines silencing narratives or those versions of “what happened” that have endured over time despite evidence to the contrary and that work to foreclose other possible ways of constructing past incidents of violence. In discussing these narratives, the chapter highlights key moments during the research process that informed an understanding of the local context. Because all empirical data are only as trustworthy as the researcher's own methods, integrity, and reflexivity, these moments merit more than a quick footnote. The chapter views these encounters as instances of “accidental ethnography” that helps to reveal what was possible to see and not to see, to ask and not to ask, and to delve into more deeply or to overlook altogether.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128631570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It finds that violence did not simply end with the killing of the victims, but continued through the dumping of bodies, the taking of souvenirs, and continued narrativizing of the event. In Rwanda, the displays continued through official commemorations of the dead, which involved exhumations and reburials of alleged victims of the genocide. In reality, these reburials were a hoax. Through official genocide reburials, the government was able to recategorize many dead bodies, transforming victims of Rwandan Patriotic Front killings and even génocidaires into victims of the genocide. The chapter then moves back to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where the violence continued through the days and weeks that followed, with tourists descending on Princess Anne to find out what they missed and others bragging about what they saw and did during the lynching.","PeriodicalId":140367,"journal":{"name":"Show Time","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127384051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
