This workshop concentrates on experiences of justice or injustice in a global scale and focuses on their temporal dimension.
We are interested in the process that emerges when a community faces a challenge to the foundations of its shared experience of justice/injustice, and hence is forced to re-evaluate and reinvent the narrative that provides significance and legitimacy to the common conception of (in)justice. In other words, through these “tipping points” the community engages in an act of “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” - dealing with the past - that concerns of not only the past, but the present identities and the possible futures of the community.
To sum up, this workshop brings together scholars from varying backgrounds and representing different traditions of making sense of the past and (in)justice in the world, in the aim of analyzing how different conceptualizations of time and memory contribute to understandings of themes of global justice.
