[Commpsych] Call for papers: Srebrenica Genocide – 30 Years of Neglect

[Serdar M. Degirmencioglu]

Call for papers for a special issue of the Peace Review
Srebrenica Genocide – 30 Years of Neglect
Under the guest editorship of Dr. Alma Jeftic and Dr. Serdar M. Değirmencioğlu, Peace Review: A Journal of Social Justice invites essays for a special issue Srebrenica Genocide – 30 Years of Neglect.

We welcome submissions for a special issue that examines the Srebrenica Genocide and its legacies. In particular, this special issue will highlight interdisciplinary intersections, and will contribute to peacebuilding scholarship and practice. While we expect most submissions to come from academics in the social sciences and humanities, we also invite submissions from practitioners, survivors, writers, artists, community groups and peace activists.

Three decades after 1995, a special issue dedicated to the Srebrenica Genocide and its legacies is very much needed. This special issue will highlight, in particular, the processes and politics of remembrance. By bringing together critical reviews of empirical studies, theoretical contributions, and reflective essays, this special issue will illuminate how individuals and groups process collective violence, how narratives of the genocide shape intergroup attitudes, and how memorial practices can either hinder or foster peace. In addition to contributing to academic knowledge, this special issue will inform educators, policymakers, activists and practitioners working on memory, justice, and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond. In a time of resurgent denial and politicization of memory, and increasing militarism, social sciences are essential to reaffirm the human dimension of Srebrenica’s legacy and to foster pathways toward lasting peace.

General themes that contributors can address in their essays include, but are not limited to, the following:
   
   - Remembering and forgetting: 30 years after the genocide
   - Collective memory, silencing, and the politics of remembrance
   - Trauma, resilience, and intergenerational transmission of suffering and hope
   - Confronting denial in politics, education, and everyday life
   - Gendered memory and survival
   - Reconciliation, resistance, and everyday encounters
   - Interethnic solidarity, moral exemplars, and peace initiatives in postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina
   - Diaspora perspectives, inherited memory, and comparative genocide remembrance
   - Education, ethics, and responsibility
   - Artistic testimony and poetic witnessing
   - Poetry, photography, music, theatre, and visual art as forms of memory and healing.
   - Growing up in the shadow of a genocide
   - Sites, memory and resisting erasure: Political geography of genocide
