In this\u0000article, I argue that this transformation should be understood not as a rupture but as\u0000continuation, albeit in a different discursive domain. This transformation was steered\u0000by duress, or the internalization of structural violence in everyday life under colonialism.\u0000Through this discursive transformation, Matsoua’s followers appropriated the\u0000movement and brought it into a culturally known place that enabled them to continue\u0000their struggle for liberation from colonial oppression.","PeriodicalId":36783,"journal":{"name":"Conflict and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83939622","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}

As point of departure, I outline\u0000two events considered morally outrageous by many of my interlocutors: the Gaza\u0000War (2008–2009) and the repression of the Syrian civil uprising in 2011. By contextualizing\u0000moral outrage and analyzing certain incidents as “triggers” among people who are\u0000already outraged, I aim at providing a better understanding of that emotion’s generic\u0000power. I will also give an example of how a “trigger” incident can provide an emotional\u0000outlet.

Based on ethnography carried out in Istanbul, this contribution focuses on the\u0000assassination of the Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in 2007. This provoked a\u0000moral shock and led to an annual commemoration in which thousands of people—distant\u0000in political, religious, ethnic positions—gather around a shared feeling of outrage.\u0000The article retraces the narratives of innocence and the moral frames that make Dink’s\u0000public figure different from other victims of state violence, thus enabling a moral and\u0000emotional identification of a large audience.

As migrants settle in Santiago, they face numerous articulations of bureaucracy—at entry, in visa processing, in labor regulations, and in housing law. This article charts a central paradox of migrant experiences with two discordant bureaucratic entities in Chile. Migrants are frequently able to acquire residency documents, yet they are often unable to enter into formal rental agreements or easily access adequate housing. Drawing on data collected during 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Santiago, Chile, I explore migrants’ lived experience of bureaucracy. As migrants navigate the processes involved in attaining visas and in securing housing, their experiences expose the interstices of bureaucracy, sites of disjuncture between contrasting bureaucratic entities and realms. These bureaucratic interstices are critical sites where structural violence is fostered, normalized, and made invisible.","PeriodicalId":36783,"journal":{"name":"Conflict and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79727005","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}
