Description
Summary:Departing from the parallelism between large-scale human rights violations and the complex notion of ecocide, some conceptual remarks will be drawn within the realm of green victimology and restorative justice. By questioning the frameworks of victimhood and the irreversibility of ecocide, some conclusions about the meaning of informal practices of memorialization in mass victimization can be discussed. To illustrate these ideas, the Prestige case in Spain will be briefly presented as a case study. Partiendo del paralelismo entre las violaciones de derechos humanos a gran escala y la compleja noción de ecocidio, se realizarán algunas consideraciones conceptuales dentro del campo de la victimología verde y la justicia restaurativa. Al cuestionar los marcos de la victimidad y de la irreversibilidad del ecocidio, se debatirán algunas conclusiones sobre el significado de ciertas prácticas informales de memorialización en procesos de victimización en masa. Para ilustrar estas ideas se recurrirá de forma sucinta, como caso de estudio, a las consecuencias del Prestige en España. Available from: https://doi.org/10.35295/osls.iisl/0000-0000-0000-1044
