History, Memory, And State Sponsored Violence by Berber Bevernage
Time and Justice
A theoretical exploration of how societies confront legacies of state terror through the intertwined practices of history writing and memory, arguing that dominant notions of linear time and closure can obscure ongoing injustice and enable impunity. Through analyses of truth commissions, trials, and commemorative practices in contexts such as Latin America and South Africa, it shows how the haunting persistence of violence destabilizes the boundary between past and present. It reframes justice as an open-ended temporal struggle, challenging efforts to relegate atrocity to a finished past.
