Atrocities Archives: Project Methodology

Atrocity’s Archives will follow an interdisciplinary approach. It will combine narrative studies, cultural memory studies, socio-legal approaches and philosophical strands on archives in order to synthesis the empirical findings together into a wider conceptual framework. The empirical research is unique: Atrocity’s Archives will link a variety of non-explored datasets such as legal court documents (ICTR), audio-material (Genocide Archive Rwanda; Gacaca) and court (partly narrative) transcripts (Gacaca trials). It will interrogate these datasets through a content analysis.
