Concerned about @GaroPaylan, a keynote speaker at #IAGS2021. Recent political convictions of activists in #Turkey for 'treason' raise fear that Paylan may be arrested & tried for 'treason' for proposing a bill recognising the #Armenian #Genocide. ...
Videos now up of #IAGS2021 keynote speeches: #UN Special Advisor on #genPrev Alice Nderitu, @KAlexaKoenig, @Emilio_Silva_, & @TimCole_Bristol. 4 fantastic keynotes covering genPrev, digital mapping of atrocities, #justice for #Franco's victims....
And with that folks, it's a wrap on #IAGS2021, @GenocideStudies' 1st online conference. So much great #research designed to understand, prevent & punish #genocide. Looking fwd to seeing everyone in person in 2yrs in #Barcelona!
#IAGS2021: Final presentation of the conference is Irene Massimino on the role of the #media in atrocities in 1971 #Bangladesh & #Myanmar #Rohingya (how the atrocities were portrayed & how this impacted the perception & categorisation of the atrocities).
#IAGS2021: Christina McCormick & William Jennette ask what discursive practices contributed twds someone participating in #USA Jan #CapitolRiots? Looked at 9445 tweets drilled down to 1893 tweets, finding intensification & provocation, weaponising emotions. Challenging task!
🗣️#IAGS2021 Keynote Garo Paylan, Armenian Turkey parliamentarian fighting for #justice for his grandmother & others who lost their lives in the #ArmenianGenocide.
#IAGS2021: @GenocideStudies Business meeting, feat. outgoing board, incoming board, lots of fmr board members, & lots of members!
#IAGS2021: @MdKhalidRahman2 presenting on the making of his #documentary, 'Where Will I Go? The #Rohingya Dilemma', a beautifully shot #film in the #refugee camps. Available at this link. https://youtu.be/ArUjlBYLE-k
#IAGS2021: Cecilia Ducci on how impunity is rendered possible & legitimate by discourse from norm violators, either by agreeing w/the norms but denying their applicability or by challenging the values underlying the norms. #Myanmar is both denying #genocide & evading norms.
#IAGS2021 Day 5: @PizuarH asks how #Rohingya uses #socialMedia, how can social media use be maximised, & what are limitations in using social media networks, to elevate awareness of the #refugees' crisis.
Look at this amazing project #IAGS member Karen Frostig is doing to commemorate #Holocaust Jungfernhof concentration camp near #Riga #Latvia. This wk the geospatial mappers found a mass grave. Ping #IAGS2021 #genocide #history #memory https://www.lockerofmemory.com/
#Genocide & #Victimology #book brings together a diverse appreciation of genocide victimhood and survivorship. My ch looks at accountability for the #Rohingya #genocide. #IAGS2021 www.routledge.com/Genocide-and-Victimology...
#IAGS2021: Some of the turnout for the founders panel, incl past president Joyce Apsel, the last woman to be president of IAGS, back in 2001-3. Helen Fein was the 1st president. These are the only 2 #women to be IAGS presidents. I have some big shoes to fill!
#Genocide is about more than just physical destruction. @gman_h & I explore the loss of identity by #Rohingya #refugees in #Malaysia as part of the genocide process. #IAGS2021 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/9/11/209
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_BristolThere are moments where #Holocaust #genocide survivors don't know where they are, esp in mass pop'n movements. Important to discover geospatial patterns of #genocide. Genocide can be mapped but is also unmappable. Need multiple mapping tools.
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol that when they aggregated testimonies, there were specific points of the #Auschwitz evacuation experience that the #women survivors remembered. #Holocaust #genocide
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol So they decided to map the escape route through testimonies, not German archive documents. And they found...
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol Mapping the evacuation routes from #Auschwitz led to realising that there is a need for other ways of mapping...
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol Non-Jews were permitted to live in #Budapest #ghetto bldgs which led to them being asked to carry out tasks like getting Jews Swedish papers from Raoul Wallenberg. #Holocaust
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol visualisation & imagining actions such as walking to sites like hospitals led to reimagining ghettoisation as separation of Jews from other Jews (not just non-Jews).
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol Digital layering of #ghetto maps & adding census data found a commonality in ghetto stories, reflecting Jewish demographics in the city & how inaccessible some sites became to Jews. #Holocaust
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol Digital mapping of the #Budapest #ghetto, allowing layering & additional info in the map; they added in census data
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol Visualisation project found that major periods of escape took place at the same time as major periods of construction at #Auschwitz. #Holocaust #genocide
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol shows their project visualising the construction of #Auschwitz thru 1943-44, re-imagining Auschwitz-Birkenau as an ongoing construction site where #genocide occurred. #Holocaust
🗣️#IAGS2021: Keynote @TimCole_Bristol shows the amazing #digital #humanities mapping that unearths the multiple geographies of genocide. An eg here of geographical patterns of arrests of Jews in the #Holocaust in #Italy, by Germans vs by Italians.
#IAGS2021: @EvenKhen looks at the 3-fold cases about the #Rohingya #genocide across the #ICJ, #ICC & #Argentina universal jurisdiction.
#IAGS2021: Claudia Jimenez asks whether we can talk of #genocide when an intention to destroy exists but there is no extermination of the group; & whether violation of collective rights can amount to genocide, esp re: #Indigenous peoples.
#IAGS2021: @Gugs_92 2019 #ECHR case Drelingas v #Lithuania may challenge the definition of #genocide; court found Lithuanian partisans were targeted & represent a significant part of the Lithuanian group. This challenges traditional narrative that Soviet crimes are not genocide.
