AB Klappentext: "How do victim and perpetrator peoples generate conflicting knowledge about genocide? Using a sociology of knowledge approach, Savelsberg answers this question for the Armenian genocide committed in the context of the First World War. Focusing on Armenians and Turks, he examines strategies of silencing, denial, and acknowledgment in everyday interaction, public rituals, law, and politics. Drawing on interviews, ethnographic accounts, documents, and eyewitness testimony, Savelsberg illuminates the social processes that drive dueling versions of history. He reveals counterproductive consequences of denial in an age of human rights hegemony, with implications for populist disinformation campaigns against overwhelming evidence"-- NO Literaturverzeichnis: Seite 221-231 CN HV6322.7 SN 9780520380189 K1 Genocide : Sociological aspects K1 Armenian massacres, 1915-1923 K1 Osmanisches Reich : Armenier : Völkermord : Wissenssoziologie : Geschichte 1915 -1923
