柬埔寨的暴力、苦难和暴行的记忆今天正被拉向不同的方向。一系列过渡时期司法做法以纠正、恢复和更新记忆的名义付诸实施。这一阶段的中心是柬埔寨法院特别法庭，这是一个混合法庭，为起诉红色高棉政权领导人而设立，在红色高棉政权下，160万柬埔寨人死于饥饿或疾病，或被处决。这本书解开了记忆是通过呼吁重建国家记忆，法律的重构和编码的记忆作为犯罪，并出价定位个人记忆在集体传记。通过分析柬埔寨法院特别法庭的技术和干预措施，以及探索非政府组织的作用，这本书探讨了柬埔寨社区在政治暴力记忆中的关系。这本书是必不可少的理解柬埔寨过渡时期的司法，超越法庭。《柬埔寨的过渡时期司法和记忆》表明，过渡时期司法干预的主导逻辑-即如果没有某种形式的过渡时期司法机制，社会就无法"处理"对暴行和暴力的记忆-忽视了暴行后背景下记忆和回忆的复杂性，以及这些机制所针对的主体的能动性。该书利用文献资料、法律的文字记录、采访和参与者观察数据，将柬埔寨的过渡时期司法进程置于更广泛的社会和文化记忆政治背景下，审视了（新旧）记忆冲突之间出现的冲突柬埔寨现在存在的对过去的不同描述和使用。因此，它将吸引社会学、人权、法律和犯罪学方面的学生和学者。
Memories of violence, suffering and atrocities in Cambodia are today being pulled in different directions. A range of transitional justice practices have been put to work in the name of redressing, restoring and renewing memory. At the centre of this stage is the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), a hybrid tribunal established to prosecute the leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime, under which 1.6 million Cambodians died of hunger or disease or were executed. This book unpicks the way memory is reconstructed through appeals to a national memory, the legal reframing and coding of memories as crimes, and bids to locate personal memories within collective biographies. Analysing the techniques and interventions of the ECCC, as well as exploring the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the book explores the relationships in which Cambodian communities navigate memories of political violence. This book is essential for understanding transitional justice in Cambodia in, and beyond, the courtroom. Transitional Justice and Memory in Cambodia shows that the governing logic of transitional justice interventions – that societies are unable to 'deal with' memories of atrocity and violence without some form of transitional justice mechanism – neglects the complexity of memory and remembering in post-atrocity contexts and the agency of the subjects to which such mechanisms are addressed. Drawing on documentary sources, legal transcripts, interviews and participant observation data, the book situates transitional justice processes in Cambodia within a wider context of social and cultural memory politics, examining (old and new) conflicts of memory that have emerged between the varied accounts and uses of the past that exist in Cambodia now. As such, it will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, human rights, law and criminology.
