In 'Show Time', Lee Ann Fujii asks why some perpetrators of political violence, from lynch mobs to genocidal killers, display their acts of violence so publicly and extravagantly. Closely examining three horrific and extreme episodes - the murder of a prominent Tutsi family amidst the genocide in Rwanda, the execution of Muslim men in a Serb-controlled village in Bosnia during the Balkan Wars, and the lynching of a twenty-two-year old Black farmhand on Maryland's Eastern Shore in 1933-Fujii shows how 'violent displays' are staged to not merely to kill those perceived to be enemies or threats, but also to affect and influence observers, neighbors, and the larger society.

"Ümit Kurt explores causes and effects of the Armenian genocide in his hometown of Gaziantep, Turkey. He finds that local gentry and ordinary Turks were heavily motivated by the prospect of financial gain as Armenians were dispossessed. Newly enriched Turks then financed the young republic, elevating themselves to the status of a political elite"--

Fin août 1572. A Paris, des notaires dressent des inventaires après décès, enregistrent des actes, règlent des héritages. Avec minutie, ils transcrivent l'ordinaire des vies au milieu d'une colossale hécatombe. Mais ils livrent aussi des noms, des adresses, des liens. Puisant dans ces archives notariales, Jérémie Foa tisse une micro-histoire de la Saint-Barthélemy soucieuse de nommer les anonymes, les obscurs jetés au fleuve ou mêlés à la fosse, à jamais engloutis. Pour élucider des crimes dont on ignorait jusqu'à l'existence, il abandonne les palais pour les pavés, exhumant les indices d'un massacre de proximité, commis par des voisins sur leurs voisins. Car à descendre dans la rue, on croise ceux qui ont du sang sur les mains, on observe le savoir-faire de la poignée d'hommes responsables de la plupart des meurtres. Sans avoir été prémédité, le massacre était préparé de longue date - les assassins n'ont pas surgi tout armés dans la folie d'un soir d'été. Au fil de vingt-cinq enquêtes haletantes, l'historien retrouve les victimes et les tueurs, simples passants ou ardents massacreurs, dans leur humaine trivialité : épingliers, menuisiers, rôtisseurs de la Vallée de Misère, tanneurs d'Aubusson et taverniers de Maubert, vies minuscules emportées par l'événement.

Drawing on cultural trauma theory, this book investigates how collective memory of the Nanjing Massacre is fashioned in China and how the mass media, political power and public praxis jointly shape the politics and culture of memory in contemporary China.Allowing for the dimensions of history and different mediating spaces, the authors first conduct textual analysis of news reports from traditional media since the event took place, revealing that the significance of the Massacre was initially portrayed as a local incident before its construction as a national trauma and finally a collective memory. In a study of physical and online memorial spaces, including the Memorial Hall, commemorative activities on the Internet and new media platforms, the book unveils the production and reproduction of trauma narratives as well as how these narratives have been challenged. The final part further studies the interactions between media and other institutional settings while exploring issues of global memory and reconciliation in East Asia.The title will be an essential read for anyone interested in memory studies, media and communication, and particularly the collective memory of the Nanjing Massacre.

“This book is a warning about an impending disaster, remembering a similar past disaster.” — Levon Abrahamian, Professor of Anthropology, National Academy of Sciences of Armenia “This book opens a door between anthropology and conflict studies that helps to understand the international relevance of Armenian history.” — Emidio Diodato, Professor of Political Science, University for Foreigners Perugia, Italy “This book is an excellent historical and anthropological insight into the Syrian War as a chain of ethnic, religious and political games; identities; and struggles, rooted in the Armenian genocide.” — Yulia Antonyan, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Yerevan State University, Armenia This volume examines significant social transformations engendered by the ongoing Syrian conflict in the lives of Syrian Armenians. The authors draw on documentary material and fieldwork carried out in 2013-2019 among Syrian Armenians in Armenian and Lebanese urban settings. The stories of Syrian Armenians reveal how contemporary events are seen to have direct links to the past and to reproduce memories associated with the Armenian genocide; the contemporary involvement of Turkey in the Syrian war, for example, is seen on the ground as an attempt to control the Armenian presence in Syria. Today, the Syrian Armenian identity encapsulates the complex intersection of memory, transnational links to the past, collective identity and lived experience of wartime “everydayness.” Specifically, the book addresses the role of memory in key events, such as the bombing of Armenian historical sites during the commemorations of 24 April in the Eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor; the (perceived) shift from destroying Syrian Armenians’ material culture to attempting to destroy the Armenian community in urban Aleppo; and the informal transactions that take place in the border area of Kessab. This carefully-researched ethnography will appeal to scholars of anthropology, sociology and political science who specialize in studies of conflict, memory and diaspora.
