Transitional justice and memory

Recent decades have witnessed a proliferation of memorial sites, reflecting diverse and evolving approaches to memory and transitional justice. This study examines the shifting dynamics of collective memory in Cambodia, highlighting the emergence of critically self-reflexive 'counter-memorials' and even calls for forgetting or 'anti-memorials.' It builds upon Maurice Halbwachs's seminal work on collective memory, emphasizing its practical reproduction process. The research also explores how specific sites of memory are bound to broader systems of social and political regulation, offering insights into the complex interplay between memory, justice, and societal transformation.
