Documento e poder: uma arqueologia da escrita - Freitas, Lidia Silva de (Revista Morpheus - Estudos Interdisciplinares em Memória Social, 2012)
Apresenta problematização e resultados parciais de estudo que se insere em debate em curso na Ciência da Informação, envolvendo a delimitação de seu objeto central: a informação – em suas variadas conceituações – ou o documento – em sua materialidade, da ordem da institucionalidade e gerador de efeitos sociais (Frohmann). A pesquisa, de cunho teórico- conceitual, testa o conceito/hipótese de modo de acreditação e distribuição social de saberes, fundado na divisão de Nora entre sociedades de memória e sociedades de história. Analisa a constituição, os funcionamentos e as representações imaginárias da escrita, como marco divisório e base das sociedades históricas – ou de arquivo – e fundamentando o efeito- documento em processos de legitimação, autoridade e regimes de verdade. o estudo busca as bases da persistência do documento nos processos dominantes de acreditação e distribuição social de saberes – e poderes – no ocidente, buscando contribuir, assim, para o adensamento desse relevante debate no campo. Apresenta os avanços de pesquisa obtidos pelos aportes teórico-conceituais da escola francesa da análise e teoria do discurso, que recoloca a dimensão material e histórica do sentido, rompendo com a ilusão da transparência da linguagem – fundamento do efeito-informação (evidência), mito fundador do campo informacional.

A documentação rediviva: prolegômenos a uma (outra) filosofia da informação - Frohmann, Bernd (Revista Morpheus - Estudos Interdisciplinares em Memória Social, 2012)
Uma filosofia da informação fundamenta-se em uma filosofia da documentação. A concepção de Nunberg sobre o fenômeno da informação anuncia um deslocamento do foco na questão “O que é informação?” para uma investigação crítica das fontes e da legitimação da própria questão. As analogias entre a desconstrução que Wittgenstein faz das abordagens filosóficas ao significado e uma correspondente desconstrução das abordagens filosóficas à informação sugerem que como a informatividade de um documento depende de certos tipos de práticas a que este é submetido, e como a informação emerge como um efeito de tais práticas, as práticas documentárias são ontologicamente primordiais2 à informação. A informatividade dos documentos, portanto, encaminha-nos às propriedades das práticas documentárias. Tais propriedades encaixam-se em quatro categorias gerais: sua materialidade; seus lugares institucionais; os modos como são socialmente disciplinadas; e sua contingência histórica. Dois exemplos do alvorecer da ciência moderna, que contrastam as práticas documentárias escolásticas dos filósofos da natureza da Europa continental com as de seus pares na Inglaterra da época da Restauração, ilustram a riqueza dos fatores que devem ser levados em conta para compreender como os documentos se tornam informativos.

Japanese history textbook controversy at a crossroads?: joint history research, politicization of textbook adoption process, and apology fatigue in Japan - Fukuoka, Kazuya (Global Change, Peace & Security, 2018)
Japan’s kyōkasho mondai (history textbook controversy) is at a crossroads. This article tries to exemplify it through the analysis of three issue areas at three levels (international, domestic, and societal). Internationally, the study looks into the failure of much anticipated joint history writing projects with China (2006–2010) and South Korea (2002–2005, 2007–2010). Domestically, this study problematises the recent politicisation of the textbook adoption system through the analysis of the Yokohama and Tokyo cases. The article also discusses the role of Nippon Kaigi (The Japan Conference), an influential rightist lobbying group, in this process. In this conjunction, at the societal level, there seems to have been the growing sense of frustration and resignation with China / South Korea among the Japanese public (i.e. apology fatigue). All these suggest that there has been an underlying change in the landscape of history textbook controversy in Japan, which also cogently shows the on-going practical difficulty in building trustworthy relationships between Japan and China / South Korea. This study tries to offer a contextual understanding about the underlying conditions for (and, hence, the changing societal expectations about) textbook production, content and reception.

The World Trade Organization’s Records and Archives Management Policy: an overarching framework for ensuring information continuity - Galán, Jesús; Bressi, Maria (Comma, 2021)
This article describes the process of creation and discussion of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Records and Archives Management Policy, the first such policy ever issued by the Secretariat, after 25 years of existence. It outlines, firstly, the methodology followed to assemble and articulate the Policy, and its alignment with the standards and best practice followed by other international organizations; secondly, how the Policy was presented to different stakeholders and approved; and thirdly, the structure and contents of the Policy which aims to be a comprehensive, cross-organizational records and archives management strategy to ensure accountability and transparency at all levels of the WTO. The lack of a regulatory framework and the specificity of Intergovernmental Organizations’ (IGO) institutional structures can represent a challenge for archivists and records managers with regard to the creation and control of informational assets in a systematic and verifiable manner; the article suggests a methodology for the drafting and implementation of records and archives management principles in the context of such international organizations.

The world’s repository at 75: a history of the United Nations Archives* - Gelfand, Aleksandr (Comma, 2021)
Seventy-five years ago (1945), the United Nations (UN) was founded in San Francisco by 50 nations. There, a small archives unit served to assemble the first records of the organization; this was the first iteration of today’s Archives and Records Management Section (ARMS). Throughout its history, the fortunes of the UN Archives have waxed and waned, while its role has continuously evolved. Trying to carve out a place for itself within the largest international organization in the world, its physical and administrative structures have undergone profound changes, as has its mission, number of staff, the type of records it holds and its users. This paper examines significant events in the development of the UN Archives, the challenges it has faced and what may be learned from them.

Direito, Constituicao E Transicao Democratica No Brasil - Genro, Tarso (FRANCIS, 2010)
Tarso Genro escreveu os textos que compõem esse livro quando Ministro da Justiça. Neles aborda temas centrais pertinentes e necessários para a compreensão do atual quadro de relações entre os diversos poderes institucionais, no contexto de um largo processo de transição político-democrática, iniciado em 1985 e cujos parâmetros estão consagrados na Constituição Federal de 1988. A partir de uma redemocratização, ainda marcada por profundas dependências de um passado oligárquico, a transição política e jurídica encontra-se incompleta. Muitas das definições constitucionais assumidas em 1988, das cláusulas pétreas à orientação para a regulamentação de relações entre povo e sociedade, não atingiram, ainda, um patamar compatível com os ideais de uma democracia por todos almejada. A economia modernizou-se, o Estado assumiu um papel crescentemente ativo, os interesses corporativos e dos mais amplos setores populares se organizaram; porém, o sistema que rege juridicamente essas relações e interesses não foi ainda plenamente implementado. Do olho do furacão, como Ministro da Justiça do presidente Lula, Tarso Genro enfrentou e refletiu criativamente sobre os dilemas cruciais dessa conjuntura de transição, onde, muitas vezes, os tribunais superiores, como o Supremo Tribunal Federal, assumem papéis e funções legislativas, onde o Presidente da República tem de negociar diretamente com os demais poderes e onde o poder legislativo tem de assumir sua morosidade diante das urgências das novas conjunturas causadas pela rápida mudança da sociedade e da economia diante das pressões populares. Tarso Genro não foge à luta e encara suas responsabilidades como membro do poder executivo e como pensador, já autor de numerosas obras de referência internacional.

The History of the Stasi: East Germany's Secret Police, 1945-1990 - Gieseke, Jens (Berghahn Books, 2015)
A well-balanced and detailed look at the East German Ministry for State Security, the secret police force more commonly known as the Stasi. “This is an excellent book, full of careful, balanced judgements and a wealth of concisely-communicated knowledge. It is also well written. Indeed, it is the best book yet published on the MfS.”―German History The Stasi stood for Stalinist oppression and all-encompassing surveillance. The “shield and sword of the party,” it secured the rule of the Communist Party for more than forty years, and by the 1980s it had become the largest secret-police apparatus in the world, per capita. Jens Gieseke tells the story of the Stasi, a feared secret-police force and a highly professional intelligence service. He inquires into the mechanisms of dictatorship and the day-to-day effects of surveillance and suspicion. Masterful and thorough at once, he takes the reader through this dark chapter of German postwar history, supplying key information on perpetrators, informers, and victims. In an assessment of post-communist memory politics, he critically discusses the consequences of opening the files and the outcomes of the Stasi debate in reunified Germany. A major guide for research on communist secret-police forces, this book is considered the standard reference work on the Stasi.

A World Made New: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Glendon, Mary Ann (Random House Publishing Group, 2002)
Unafraid to speak her mind and famously tenacious in her convictions, Eleanor Roosevelt was still mourning the death of FDR when she was asked by President Truman to lead a controversial commission, under the auspices of the newly formed United Nations, to forge the world’s first international bill of rights. A World Made New is the dramatic and inspiring story of the remarkable group of men and women from around the world who participated in this historic achievement and gave us the founding document of the modern human rights movement. Spurred on by the horrors of the Second World War and working against the clock in the brief window of hope between the armistice and the Cold War, they grappled together to articulate a new vision of the rights that every man and woman in every country around the world should share, regardless of their culture or religion.A landmark work of narrative history based in part on diaries and letters to which Mary Ann Glendon, an award-winning professor of law at Harvard University, was given exclusive access, A World Made New is the first book devoted to this crucial turning point in Eleanor Roosevelt’s life, and in world history.Finalist for the Robert F.

The Rule of Law in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Glendon, Mary Ann (Northwestern Journal of International Human Rights, 2004)
Our abiding commitment to the rule of law is the very bedrock of our civilization. It is what makes all else possible, from the flowering of the arts to the steady advance of the sciences. The idea that men must govern themselves not by the arbitrary commands of a ruler but by their own considered judgment, is the means whereby chaos is replaced by order. Balanced by the peaceful resolution of differences, the rule of law and the institutions of representative democracy are what stand between civilization and barbarism. It is through law-governed liberty that mankind has been able to achieve so much.

Bishop Juan Gerardi, Guatemala’s leading human rights activist, was bludgeoned to death in his garage on a Sunday night in 1998, two days after the presentation of a groundbreaking church-sponsored report implicating the military in the murders and disappearances of some two hundred thousand civilians. Realizing that it could not rely on police investigators or the legal system to solve the murder, the church formed its own investigative team, a group of secular young men in their twenties who called themselves Los Intocables (the Untouchables). Known in Guatemala as “The Crime of the Century,” the Bishop Gerardi murder case, with its unexpectedly outlandish scenarios and sensational developments, confounded observers and generated extraordinary controversy. In his first nonfiction book, acclaimed novelist Francisco Goldman has spoken to witnesses no other reporter has reached, and observed firsthand some of the most crucial developments in the case. Now he has produced The Art of Political Murder, a tense and astonishing true detective story that opens a window on the new Latin American reality of mara youth gangs and organized crime, and tells the story of a remarkable group of engaging, courageous young people, and of their remarkable fight for justice.

La política archivística del Gobierno español y la ausencia de gestión del pasado desde el comienzo de la transición - González Quintana, Antonio (Hispania Nova. Revista de Historia Contemporánea, 2007)
Most of political parties represented at the Spanish Parliament agreed, after Franco’s death, not to face the recent past. From the beginning of the Spanish political transition has existed neither a policy of memory nor a real archival policy regarding that subject. The management of the records produced by D.N.S.D. (National Delegation of Documentary Services, the information agency of Franco regime in Salamanca), was only focused on improving historical researches. The archives of military courts, used for massive civilian repression in ther forties, thirty years after continue being the biggest gap in Spanish archival legislation. No measures have been adopted to provide accountability about Human Rights violations or to facilitate the spreading of compensations for victims of repression.

Le devenir des archives dans les régimes post-autoritaires - González Quintana, Antonio (Gazette des archives, 2007)
Le devenir des archives dans les régimes post autoritaires ; Le rapport sur les archives des anciens régimes répressifs, préparé pour l’UNESCO et le Conseil International des Archives en 1996, a souligné l’importance cruciale de la conservation de ces documents puisqu’ils servent autant à la défense des personnes affectées par ces régimes qu’à la consolidation de la démocratie et à la reconstruction de la cohésion sociale. Comme la conservation des archives de la répression conditionne l’exercice de toute une série de droits collectifs et individuels, les nouvelles autorités démocratiques doivent adopter une législation adéquate. La loi doit considérer ces archives comme des biens culturels, en assurer la protection et en fixer les conditions d’accès. Compte tenu des risques de politisation de ces documents, il est indispensable que les archivistes en charge des archives de la répression adoptent un code de déontologie qui affirme le caractère patrimonial de ces archives et l’obligation pour les archivistes d’en préserver l’intégrité.

The practical power of human rights: how international human rights standards can inform archival and record keeping practices - Gooda, Mick (Archival Science, 2012)
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is the preeminent international instrument elaborating on the rights of Indigenous peoples. It contains the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous peoples all over the world. As a consequence, the Declaration provides a blueprint for Indigenous peoples, governments and other third parties around the world to respect the rights and roles of Indigenous peoples within society. At its core, the Declaration is based on the principles of self-determination, good faith and participation in decision-making. In this paper, I outline how the principles of the Declaration can and should influence archival and record keeping practices. I suggest we need to harness the practical power of human rights. In exercising our right to participate in decision-making, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can demonstrate this practical power. It is critical that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are substantive and major stakeholders in determining appropriate archival and record keeping processes for Indigenous culture, cultural property and knowledge.

Deutschland seit 1990: Wege in die Vereinigungsgesellschaft - Großbölting, Thomas; Lorke, Christoph (Franz Steiner Verlag, 2017)
Der Fall der Berliner Mauer und die Wiedervereinigung beendeten vierzig Jahre Trennung von Bundesrepublik und DDR. Diese Ereignisse waren zweifelsohne von nationaler und internationaler Bedeutung. Die empathische Erinnerung daran markiert den Gründungsmythos eines wiedervereinigten Deutschlands wie auch den eines sich erweiternden Europas.Mit größer werdendem zeitlichem Abstand wird diese euphorische Lesart allerdings zunehmend blasser. Nicht nur die Verwerfungen der Banken- und Eurokrise seit 2008, sondern zahlreiche andere Prozesse und Ereignisse lassen die Ambivalenzen der Entwicklung seit Ende der 1980er Jahre deutlicher hervortreten. Aus der politikhistorisch so einschneidenden Zäsur wird in der Rückschau ein immer weicherer und mehrdeutiger Übergang. Was verband und verbindet die Deutschen in Ost und West vor und nach 1990? Welche Gemeinsamkeiten prägen die Vereinigungsgesellschaft, welche Trennlinien durchziehen sie bis heute? Diesen Fragen gehen die Autorinnen und Autoren in ihren Beiträgen nach und entwerfen auf diese Weise ein facettenreiches Bild der deutschen Geschichte der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte.

On or off the record? Detecting patterns of silence about death in Guatemala’s National Police Archive - Guberek, Tamy; Hedstrom, Margaret (Archival Science, 2017)
This paper investigates how the production of police records was linked to the policies of repression and violence during Guatemala’s civil war. We provide empirical evidence from the Historical Archive of the Guatemalan National Police that the police used language, terminology and codes to record deaths in ways that produced silences about the level of violence during the height of repressive military rule. Using a dataset derived from a statistically valid sample of police records together with qualitative archival analysis, we find evidence of profound changes in the terminology used to record and report on deaths—changes that follow a pattern consistent with the policies of information control and concealment of the three different military regimes that ruled Guatemala between 1978 and 1985. We argue that researchers will need to consider the silences created through the selective use of terminology in documents when using archives to produce historical knowledge. Detecting and intercepting silence will be especially important as state records are increasingly sought in service of ongoing pursuits for truth and justice about past atrocities.

How to make former aggressors repent through shaming and praising: the case of Sino-Japanese relations - Gustafsson, Karl (Global Affairs, 2015)
The past wrongdoings of states have received increased attention in recent years, resulting in calls for contrition and apologies. Most commentary has provided policy advice primarily on how former aggressors should handle such “history problems”. The present article, by contrast, draws on insights from research on recognition and ontological security to construct a framework for how external actors can use shaming and praising to influence the ways in which former aggressors deal with the past. The framework is illustrated in a brief case study of Sino-Japanese relations. Three main policy prescriptions are presented: (1) denial of the former aggressor's identity should be avoided; (2) shaming should instead take the form of suggesting that the former aggressor's behaviour is not in accordance with its self-identity; and (3) such shaming is likely to be more successful if it is accompanied by praise for the target.

Identity and recognition: remembering and forgetting the post-war in Sino-Japanese relations - Gustafsson, Karl (The Pacific Review, 2015)
In the 1990s, Japanese views of China were relatively positive. In the 2000s, however, views of China have deteriorated markedly and China has increasingly come to be seen as ‘anti-Japanese’. How can these developments, which took place despite increased economic interdependence, be understood? One seemingly obvious explanation is the occurrence of ‘anti-Japanese’ incidents in China since the mid-2000s. I suggest that these incidents per se do not fully explain the puzzle. Protests against other countries occasionally occur and may influence public opinion. Nonetheless, the interpretation of such events arguably determines their significance. Demonstrations may be seen as legitimate or spontaneous. If understood as denying recognition of an actor's self-identity, the causes of such incidents are likely to have considerably deeper and more severe consequences than what would otherwise be the case. Through an analysis of Japanese parliamentary debates and newspaper editorials, the paper demonstrates that the Chinese government has come to be seen as denying Japan's self-identity as a peaceful state that has provided China with substantial amounts of official development aid (ODA) during the post-war era. This is mainly because China teaches patriotic education, which is viewed as the root cause of ‘anti-Japanese’ incidents. China, then, is not regarded as ‘anti-Japanese’ merely because of protests against Japan and attacks on Japanese material interests but for denying a key component of Japan's self-image. Moreover, the analysis shows that explicit Chinese statements recognising Japan's self-identity have been highly praised in Japan. The article concludes that if China recognises Japan's self-understanding of its identity as peaceful, Japan is more likely to stick to this identity and act accordingly whereas Chinese denials of it might empower Japanese actors who seek to move away from this identity and ‘normalise’ Japan, for example, by revising the pacifist Article Nine of the Japanese constitution.

Is China's Discursive Power Increasing? The "Power of the Past" in Sino-Japanese Relations - Gustafsson, Karl (Asian Perspective, 2014)
The idea that China's rise, and more specifically its increased material capabilities, are about to produce a power shift in East Asia raises the question whether the Chinese government's ability to produce effects through discursive power has also increased. The government's use of discourses about China's war against Japan is a conspicuous example of attempts to exercise discursive power. Has China's ability to use the past for political purposes increased as its material capabilities have grown? To answer this question, I theorize on the use of discourses about the past on three levels-domestic, bilateral, and international. My analysis demonstrates that notwithstanding its increased material capabilities, the Chinese government's discursive power has actually decreased.

Memory Politics and Ontological Security in Sino-Japanese Relations - Gustafsson, Karl (Asian Studies Review, 2014)
Most international relations (IR) research on the role of collective memory and representations of the past gives the impression that these primarily matter for states constrained internationally by their history as aggressors, such as Japan. How former perpetrator states represent the past is seen as important for bilateral relations because it may affect perceptions in previously victimised states. Representations of the past in the victimised states are seldom dealt with. This article argues that war memory in victimised states is also highly relevant for bilateral relations, since it is closely connected to “ontological security”, or the “security of identity”. By analysing Chinese ofﬁcial documents and Japanese parliamentary debates the article shows how the Chinese government has used representations of the past for ontological security purposes, and how in response Japanese political actors have politicised exhibits at Chinese war museums that are seen as a threat to Japanese identity and interests.

Routinised recognition and anxiety: Understanding the deterioration in Sino-Japanese relations - Gustafsson, Karl (Review of International Studies, 2016)
Why do interstate relations deteriorate and become conflictual, even under conditions where one might expect improved ties? The article seeks an answer to this question through a case study of the deterioration in Sino-Japanese relations in the twenty-first century, which took place despite the existence of several factors that might be thought likely to have led to an improvement. Existing theoretical approaches cannot fully explain this puzzle. The article argues that such deteriorations can result from disruptions to states' reciprocally performed routinised recognition, and identifies three mechanisms through which these can occur. To facilitate this argument, the article draws on scholarship on relational identity, recognition, and ontological security to develop a theory of identity construction that takes account of how self and other routinise the ways in which they recognise each other and how they react to the other's representational practices.

Temporal othering, de-securitisation and apologies: understanding Japanese security policy change - Gustafsson, Karl (Journal of International Relations and Development, 2020)
For several decades, Japan kept in place significant self-imposed constraints on its security policy even as its economy grew tremendously. While it has been argued that Japan refrained from enacting security policy change because of strong domestic pacifist or anti-militarist sentiments, recently, radical policy changes have nonetheless taken place. How can these changes be understood? The existing explanations typically see them as a response to objectively existing or constructed external threats. Such threat constructions might have contributed to the policy changes, but do not fully account for how the conditions that previously limited similar changes have altered. This article combines temporal othering and de-securitisation theory to account more fully for the policy changes. It shows that during the post-war period, Japan’s temporal other, that is its wartime self, was securitised within Japan, limiting changes in security policy. More recently, however, a de-securitisation of the Japanese temporal other has taken place, which has enabled more far-reaching policy change. Apologies have played a key role in this de-securitisation process by repeating and strengthening an identity narrative about how fundamentally different Japan has become from its past wartime self.

The Sino-Japanese battle for soft power: pitfalls and promises - Hagström, Linus (Global Affairs, 2015)
Beijing and Tokyo are currently involved in a zero-sum battle for soft power. Both governments are actively trying to shape how third party actors understand contested matters in their bilateral relationship. The dispute over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands is the most obvious flashpoint in this ongoing struggle for hearts and minds. A soft power battle might seem like an innocent endeavour, but by entrenching enmity and legitimizing armed conflict, it might actually translate into one where hard power takes centre stage. Indeed, that the dissemination and entrenchment of affective identity narrative make violence seem normal, natural, realistic or perhaps even inevitable is the greatest danger associated with the ongoing Sino-Japanese dispute. However, if both parties were to agree to let the International Court of Justice settle their discord, the islands dispute could provide them with a chance to boost their respective soft power and lay the groundwork for a more peaceful order in East Asia. The article thus argues that the Sino-Japanese soft power battle contains both well-known pitfalls and a less well-known promise.

The United Nations Set of Principles to Combat Impunity: A Commentary - Haldemann, Frank; Unger, Thomas (Oxford University Press, 2018)
The fight against impunity has become a growing concern of the international community. Updated in 2005, the UN Set of Principles for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights Through Action to Combat Impunity is the fruit of several years of study, developed under the aegis of the UN Commission on Human Rights and then affirmed by the Human Rights Council. These Principles are today widely accepted as constituting an authoritative reference point for efforts in the fight against impunity for gross human rights abuses and serious violations of international humanitarian law. As a comprehensive attempt to codify universal accountability norms, the UN Set of Principles marks a significant step forward in the debate on the obligation of states to combat impunity in its various forms. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this volume provides comprehensive academic commentary of the 38 principles. The book is a perfect companion to the document, setting out the text of the Principles alongside detailed analysis, as well as a full introduction and a guide to the relevant literature and case law. The commentary advances debates and clarifies complex legal issues, making it an essential resource for legal academics, students, and practitioners working in fields such as human rights, international criminal law, and transitional justice.

Reclaiming erased lives: archives, records and memories in post-war Bosnia and the Bosnian diaspora - Halilovich, Hariz (Archival Science, 2014)
In this paper, based on conventional and digital ethnography, I first identify three dominant research areas relating to the issues of destruction, use and abuse of archives and records in post-war Bosnia, and discuss their legal, political and ethical dimensions. I then go on to present two ethnographies describing how survivors of ‘ethnic cleansing’ and genocide in Bosnia and in the Bosnian refugee diaspora perceive, experience and deal with missing personal records and material evidence of their histories, as well as how they (re)create their own archives and memories, and in the process reassert their ‘erased’ identities in both real and cyber space. This paper also describes how contemporary technologies—including biomedical technology and information and communication technology—impact the reconstruction of individual and collective identities in shattered Bosnian families and communities in the aftermath of genocide. The ethnographies described point to the novel contribution that these technologies have made to re-humanising both those who perished and the survivors of the war in Bosnia.

La force du bien - Marek Halter - Halter, Marek (Robert Laffont, 1995)
Il aurait fallu le dire depuis longtemps, le dire haut et fort: en des temps dominés par les lâches et les tueurs, il y eut des individus pour nous permettre de ne pas désespérer de l’humanité, des hommes et des femmes qui n’ont pas hésité à risquer la mort pour sauver des vies. Iréna, polonaise, a sorti du ghetto, à la barbe des Allemands, 2 500 enfants. Berthold, industriel allemand, a entrepris d’embaucher des Juifs dans son usine, les sauvant ainsi des camps de la mort. Des religieuses ont abrité dans les couvents des centaines d’enfants traqués… Voilà sans doute ce que j’aurai découvert à travers mon voyage au pays des Justes: le Bien existe; et cette disposition à la bonté que tout homme peut porter en lui, les pires systèmes totalitaires ne la détruiront jamais. En rendant hommage à ces Justes, en restituant leurs témoignages longtemps passés sous silence, j’ai voulu créer une “mémoire du Bien”. Car le Bien est l’espoir. Et sans espoir on ne peut vivre.

14 Juillet 1953 : six Algériens et un Français tombent sous les balles de la police. - Hamza, Assiya (France 24, 2023)
Amar Tabjadi, Abdallah Bacha, Larbi Daoui, Abdelkader Dranis, Mohammed Isidore Illoul, Medjen Tahar, Maurice Lurot... Six Français musulmans d’Algérie (FMA) et un Français, militant de la CGT. Ces noms vous sont probablement inconnus. Et pourtant. Tous sont morts sous les balles de la police à Paris, le 14 juillet 1953. À l’époque, les revendications indépendantistes fleurissent au sein de l’Empire colonial français. Si les regards sont focalisés sur l’Indochine où la guerre fait rage depuis 1946, les nationalistes algériens du Mouvement pour le triomphe des libertés démocratiques (MTLD) commencent à faire entendre leur voix. Leur seule présence au traditionnel défilé populaire célébrant "les valeurs de la République" suffit à transformer la fête en bain de sang.

The shocking state of US LGBTQ rights in 2023 - Hansford, Amelia (Pink News, 2023)
State legislators in the US have spawned so many anti-LGBTQ+ bills in the past 12 months that it’s easy to lose track. The independently researched trans legislation tracker puts the number at 589, across 49 states. By comparison, a conservative estimate of the number of bills filed against the LGBTQ+ community in 2022 is 174, meaning the count has increased by more than 230 per cent this year.

Antonyms of our remembering - Harris, Verne (Archival Science, 2014)
There are strong dominant discourses across the intersecting spacings of transitional justice, ‘human rights archives’, and reckoning with the past. The power of these discourses can close down non-orthodox perspectives and fresh lines of enquiry. The dual goals of the paper are to identify such lines of enquiry and tease out loose threads in the dominant discourses. The result is a provocation ranging from the experiences of the Nelson Mandela Foundation to the work of deconstruction, from queer theory to legal scholarship, and from personal narrative to documentary film-making. The paper is at once a troubling of dominant discourses and a play with the antonyms of remembering in these discourses.

Truth commission - Hayner, Priscilla B.
truth commission, an official body established to investigate a series of human rights violations, war crimes, or other serious abuses that took place over many years. Truth commissions aim to identify the causes and consequences of abuses, which may have been committed by repressive regimes or by armed groups. They conclude with a final report, including recommendations for reform to prevent such abuses from being repeated. The first well-known truth commission, known as the National Commission on the Disappeared, was established in Argentina in 1983.

Unspeakable Truths: Transitional Justice and the Challenge of Truth Commissions - Hayner, Priscilla B. (Routledge, 2010)
In a sweeping review of forty truth commissions, Priscilla Hayner delivers a definitive exploration of the global experience in official truth-seeking after widespread atrocities. When Unspeakable Truths was first published in 2001, it quickly became a classic, helping to define the field of truth commissions and the broader arena of transitional justice. This second edition is fully updated and expanded, covering twenty new commissions formed in the last ten years, analyzing new trends, and offering detailed charts that assess the impact of truth commissions and provide comparative information not previously available.Placing the increasing number of truth commissions within the broader expansion in transitional justice, Unspeakable Truths surveys key developments and new thinking in reparations, international justice, healing from trauma, and other areas. The book challenges many widely-held assumptions, based on hundreds of interviews and a sweeping review of the literature. This book will help to define how these issues are addressed in the future.

Is There Room for Archives in the Postmodern World? - Heald, Carolyn (The American Archivist, 1996)
This extended think-piece begins by exploring the late twentieth-century philosophical trend of postmodernism, and what its fragmented, decontextualized world-view means for archives. Such a position, as taken up by some historians, posits the absence of coherence, the death of grand historical narratives, and the supremacy of relativity. Consideration of the postmodern serves as a jumping-off point for an exploration of the nature of records, and the mission of the archival profession to furnish an understanding of the documentary evidence of past societies. The discussion leads full circle to situating archivists within their own (postmodern) society and explores how current trends in appraisal and description reflect present societal concerns. Ultimately, the article concludes that there is room for archives and archivists in the postmodern world, and that archivists, with their unique perspective on reading/deconstructing the documentary traces of society, are ideally suited to make sense of it.

The role of accessibility in a universal web - Henry, Shawn Lawton; Abou-Zahra, Shadi; Brewer, Judy (Proceedings of the 11th Web for All Conference, 2014)
Universal design" is the process of creating products that are usable by people with the widest possible range of abilities, operating within the widest possible range of situations; whereas "accessibility" primarily refers to design for people with disabilities. While the focus of accessibility is disabilities, research and development in accessibility brings benefits to everyone, particularly users with situational limitations, including device limitations and environmental limitations. Awareness and understanding of the benefits of web accessibility to users without disabilities is growing in some areas with the rapid increase of web-enabled devices such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions, and more; with the increasing focus on the growing number of older web users; and with wider web reach in areas with high incidence of low literacy, low bandwidth, older technology, etc. Although there is significant overlap between designing for accessibility and designing for situational limitations, addressing one set of needs does not necessarily provide sufficient solutions for other needs. Keeping accessibility focused on disabilities encourages research and development on meeting the specific needs of people with disabilities. This communications paper explains the importance of "accessibility" continuing to focus on people with disabilities, while further integrating accessibility with web design, development, and research in other areas, including those covered under universal design and design for all. It also describes how the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) are working to address accessibility and related user needs throughout the technologies of the Web, and invites all interested parties to participate in research and development to further integrate accessibility for people with disabilities in ways that benefit all.

Wie gingen die Gesellschaften in Spanien, Portugal und Griechenland nach dem Fall der Militärdiktaturen in den 1970er Jahren mit den Opfern um? Was erreichten die Opfer kommunistischer Diktaturen nach 1989 im wiedervereinten Deutschland, in Tschechien, Polen, Ungarn, Lettland und Russland?

The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 - Hobsbawm, Eric (Vintage, 1996)
Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914–1950, the Golden Age, 1950–1973, and the Landslide, 1973–1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution. In the short century between 1914 and 1991, the world has been convulsed by two global wars that swept away millions of lives and entire systems of government. Communism became a messianic faith and then collapsed ignominiously. Peasants became city dwellers, housewives became workers—and, increasingly leaders. Populations became literate even as new technologies threatened to make print obsolete. And the driving forces of history swung from Europe to its former colonies.Includes 32 pages of photos.

Late lustration programmes in Romania and Poland: supporting or undermining democratic transitions? - Horne, Cynthia M. (Democratization, 2009)
In 2006, Poland and Romania embarked on renewed lustration programmes. These late lustration policies expanded the scope and transparency measures associated with lustration as a form of transitional justice. While early lustration measures targeted political elites, late lustration policies include public and private sector positions, such as journalists, academics, business leaders, and others in ‘positions of public trust’. Given the legal controversy and moral complexity surrounding lustration, why lustrate so late in the post-communist transition and why expand the policies? The dominant explanation is that lustration is a tool of party politics and is a threat to democratic consolidation. However, the late lustration programmes do not fit this hypothesis neatly. The new laws have been restructured and packaged with other reform programmes, specifically anticorruption programmes. Late lustration has evolved to include economic and social, as well as political concerns. As such, some post-communist governments in Central and Eastern Europe appear to be trying to use lustration as a way to further the democratic transitions by addressing remaining public concerns about corruption, distrust, and inequality.

Child Social-Care Recording and the Information Rights of Care-Experienced People: A Recordkeeping Perspective - Hoyle, Victoria; Shepherd, Elizabeth; Flinn, Andrew; Lomas, Elizabeth (The British Journal of Social Work, 2018)
Recent reports by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) emphasised the critical importance of records throughout the lives of care-experienced people. Records not only contain information about what happened to a person in their past, but also have long-term effects on memory and identity. Research emerging in the context of analogous national inquiries into the systemic abuse and neglect of children in care—particularly the Royal Commission in Australia and the Shaw Report in Scotland—have highlighted the significance of records to campaigns for reparative justice. This article introduces MIRRA: Memory—Identity—Rights in Records—Access, which is a participatory action research project co-produced with care-leavers and researchers based at University College London (UCL). This ongoing study seeks to deepen our understanding of the creation, use and management of care records and protocols to access them. In this article, we consider the practice of social work recording with children and families in England since the 1970s from a ‘recordkeeping perspective’, importing theory from the information studies field to provide a new perspective on the information rights of care-leavers.

Recordkeeping and the life-long memory and identity needs of care-experienced children and young people - Hoyle, Victoria; Shepherd, Elizabeth; Lomas, Elizabeth; Flinn, Andrew (Child & Family Social Work, 2020)
In family settings stories, photographs and memory objects support narratives of identity and belonging. Such resources are often missing for people who were in care as children. As a result, they may be unable to fill gaps in their memories or answer simple questions about their early lives. In these circumstances, they turn to the records created about them by social workers and care providers to reconstruct personal histories. Research suggests that thousands of requests to view records for this purpose are made each year in England under the subject access provisions of data protection legislation. This article reports the findings of MIRRA, a participatory research project on the memory and identity dimensions of social care recordkeeping. Drawing on data collected during interviews and focus groups with adult care leavers, the study explores the motives and experiences of care-experienced people who access their records in England. Findings show the practical and cultural challenges they face when doing so and the resulting impacts on well-being. The study suggests that the development of person-centred approaches to recordkeeping in social work, which focus on the perspectives and experiences of the individual, could better support the lifelong memory and identity needs of care-experienced people.

Un précieux gâchis : les archives du procès Milosevic - Hubrecht, Joël (Gazette des archives, 2007)
Alors qu’il touchait à sa fin, le procès de l’ex-président serbe devant le Tribunal pénal international pour l’ex-Yougoslavie (TPIY) a été interrompu par la mort de l’accusé, privant victimes et juges du verdict final. En l’absence de dénouement judiciaire, les archives du procès revêtent donc une importance particulière. L’auteur en décrit la composition, la conservation et l’exploitation et il s’interroge sur l’impact qu’on peut en attendre dans la construction de la mémoire collective et dans la transition démocratique des sociétés concernées par ses crimes. Il explique que l’enjeu n’est pas seulement la sauvegarde de la mémoire des années 90 mais celle de tous les conflits qu’a connus la région des Balkans au XXème siècle. Cette réappropriation globale de la mémoire est d’autant plus nécessaire que les générations n’ont connu qu’une histoire nationale réécrite et que le rapport à la «vérité des faits » est profondément altéré. C’est pourquoi il est crucial de développer une politique de conservation et d’exploitation des archives du TPIY qui soit suffisamment exemplaire pour restaurer cette confiance perdue. C’est aux juristes et aux historiens qu’il appartient d’exploiter et de valoriser au mieux le fonds d’archives de ce procès inachevé, afin de montrer que ce qui pourrait apparaître comme un gâchis est en réalité un bien très précieux.

Ucrania promete investigar el uso prohibido de minas terrestres - Human Right Watch (Human Rights Watch, 2023)
El Gobierno ucraniano debería cumplir su compromiso expreso de no utilizar minas terrestres antipersonales prohibidas, investigar el uso de estas armas por parte de sus fuerzas armadas y asegurar la rendición de cuentas de los responsables, señaló hoy Human Rights Watch. La declaración del Gobierno, en una reunión del 21 de junio de 2023 del Tratado sobre la Prohibición de Minas en Ginebra, se produjo casi cinco meses después de que funcionarios ucranianos dijeran que examinarían los informes de Human Rights Watch y otros grupos de que las fuerzas de Ucrania utilizaron estas armas en operaciones para retomar territorio ocupado por fuerzas rusas.
