| description | Memorialisation is experienced by victims of traumatic events as a form of
justice. Victims‘ and society right to memory is mentioned in the Basque Law
4/2008 on recognition and protection of terrorism victims and the Spanish Law
29/2011 on recognition and integral protection of terrorism victims. Drawing
from critical victimology and memory studies, this contribution aims at
addressing current criticism by some victims‘ organizations with regard to
memory public policies in this field. It particularly addresses ways of
restoration through memory linked to the meaning of spaces of victimisation
by examining the work of different photographers on making aspects of those
victimisations visible for the contested purpose of remembering. First the
conceptual framework on space, victimisation and memory is presented. Then it
is related to the results of qualitative research by the Basque Institute of
Criminology. At the end the micro, meso and macro aspects of local
intervention proposals on restorative memory, including ethical remarks are
commented. |
