这篇文章汇集了一系列学科的方法,探讨我们如何处理通过文化产生的见证。它探讨了我们如何定义和理解艺术作品和日常实践(如教育和法律)中产生的各种形式的见证。本文以暴行的目击者为研究对象,构建了文化证言研究的理论框架。它强调了关注“见证文本”以及文本与受众之间关系的重要性。因此,真实性被理解为一个基于信任和承认的过程,这可以解释我们不愿意接受犯罪者的证词。尽管如此,如果我们要充分理解和防止大规模暴力,允许肇事者说话并通过“面向他人的同理心”参与肇事者的文本是必不可少的。真实性和同理心也是我们与次要证人接触的关键术语。反思“了解”暴力意味着什么,可以帮助我们理清调解证词的道德方法与“假”证词引发的反应之间的关系。最后,我的结论是,虚构证词是合法的,但它引发了与调解目的有关的道德问题。
This article brings together approaches from a range of disciplines to explore how we might approach testimony as it is produced through culture. It examines how we can define and understand the diverse forms of witnessing that are produced in artistic works and everyday practices such as education and law. With a focus on the witness to atrocity, the article develops a theoretical framework for the study of testimony through culture. It highlights the importance of focusing on the ‘witnessing text’ and the relationship between text and audience. Authenticity is thus understood as a process based on trust and acknowledgement, which can explain our reluctance to accept perpetrator testimony. Nonetheless, allowing perpetrators to speak and engaging with perpetrator texts through ‘other-oriented empathy’ is essential if we are to fully understand and prevent mass violence. Authenticity and empathy are also key terms in our engagement with secondary witnesses. Reflection on what it means to ‘know’ violence can help us unpick the relationship between ethical approaches to the mediation of testimony and the response elicited by ‘fake’ testimonies. Ultimately, I conclude that fictionalisation of testimony is legitimate, but that it gives rise to ethical questions relating to the purpose of that mediation.
