The Seen and the Unseen - Framing and Epistemologies of Transitional Justice

Abstract

This panel brings together papers that help us to rethink and reframe transitional justice. Drawing on varied case studies including Indonesia and Nepal, and focused analysis of mechanisms such as truth commissions, each paper examines dominant framings of transitional justice and possible openings and opportunities for other perspectives to break through. The panel offers insights into the emotional, material, psychological, and policy consequences of dominant framings of justice and encourages us to take seriously alternative lenses and alternative knowledge in the search for justice.
