Description: Resonant Violence : Affect, Memory, and Activism in Post-Genocide Societies, Paperback by Whigham, Kerry, ISBN 1978825552, ISBN-13 9781978825550, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The author examines manifestations of genocidal violence in other forms that continue after the end of mass killing, viewing violence as a phenomenon that is both physical and affective and as a process rather than an event. He offers a theory of "resonant violence" in which violence continues to resonate with individuals and communities after killing and is preceded and succeeded by an affective violence that appears in other forms, such as social inequality, institutional discrimination, and economic disparity. He explores post-Holocaust Europe, particularly Germany and the formerly German-occupied territory of Poland; Argentina and the violence perpetrated by the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983; and the forced removal and extermination of American Indian populations in the US and their continuing impacts. He discusses the role of spaces of memory, the transformation of sites of mass atrocity into sites of memory, human rights activism, and occupation as responses to resonant violence.
