'Justice Demands' and the negotiated process of art-work production in Argentina and Northern Ireland
Lead Research Organisation:
Goldsmiths University of London
Department Name: Sociology
Abstract
Through an investigation of the relationship between art-making and legal process in two countries emerging from violent pasts - Argentina and Northern Ireland - this research project makes a timely contribution to both socio-legal work In the field of transitional justice and cultural-theoretical work on the politics of memory. Approaching artistic endeavours as processes of production, the research asks how 'justice demands' enter into that process, and how they are balanced against other sorts of demands. Three projects will be investigated in each country: one collective artistic group, one influential individual artist and one physical site of commemorative artistic endeavour.
