项目摘要

The ICTR's archive contains over 4,000 linear metres of documents, offering a window into the 1994 Rwandan genocide, as captured by the testimony of 3,200 witnesses, and further representing the ICTR's institutional memory. Despite the richness of the archive, scholars have yet to investigate the practice and politics of knowledge production within these transitional justice institutions, instead focusing on how they politically intervene in the post-conflict landscape. This project rectifies this and details the politics of the archive, how different actors were permitted to contribute to the production of knowledge at the ICTR, and what and who the archive and tribunal as a whole are for. This proposal consolidates this research as I prepare for a large early career research grant. First, the project will strengthen the theoretical basis of the research. Working with Prof. Aradau (a scholar at the forefront of critical IR) as co-mentor, I will interrogate the relationship between Foucault's understanding of the archive, and conceptualisation of the archive developed through my project, as I examine the archive as a site where memory, agency, and politics are contested. This offers an intellectual contribution to IR and will clearly situate my research within critical IR. In line with this, I will produce two journal articles, 'Archives of Knowledge', and 'Witnessing Genocide' and secure a book deal with CUP. Improving my publication record will also strengthen my application for an ESRC New Investigators (NI) award, the ultimate goal of this post-doc. Whilst my PhD research examined the way in which the archive was constructed, the NI proposal will explore the archive's afterlife. There are four strands to this: agency (how the trials affected the witnesses that participated in them, and how, in turn, the witnesses effected the trials); memory (how the archive influences how the genocide is remembered), responsibility (how the archive influences how law is practiced globally) and power (how the archive influences how actor's act in the 'real world'). Prof. Gow, who has secured numerous large research grants, will provide the guidance required in order to produce a successful application.In developing the NI bid, I will conduct a preliminary research trip to the ICTR and Rwanda. This will allow me to, first, gain access to witnesses that participated in the trials (who remain protected by the tribunal) and, second, to design the NI bid in dialogue with the intended beneficiaries (both the tribunal and the witnesses) to ensure maximum impact. Returning to the ICTR, where I was a legal research in 2015, will also mean that I can continue to work an ICTR legacy project, the Genocide Story Project (GSP), the tribunal's official history of the genocide.As such, the post-doc and the proposed NI will continue to develop my collaborative approach to research. To further this, I will work with an artist 'consultant' in order to integrate a significant art project into the NI bid. This will create a strong pathway to impact, both for the artist and the wider group of intended beneficiaries (such as the general public, former witnesses and legal practitioners) and enrichen the research design as a whole. Prototype artworks can be produced in the lifespan of this ESRC post-doc, which can also be used more immediately to engage with non-academic audiences. This proposal has immediate and long-term impact. I will complete the GSP. Second, the collaboration with an artist will have impact both on the artist and, as a consequence of a series of exhibitions, the wider public. Long term, the realisation of the NI will, first, address the continued lack of information about how these processes affect the witnesses involved and offer a significant critique of the tribunal's engagement activities and role in post-conflict transformation. This will lead to a series of recommendations for ways practices can be improved upon.

卢旺达问题国际法庭的档案包含4 000多延米的文件，为了解3 200名证人的证词所记录的1994年卢旺达种族灭绝事件提供了一个窗口，并进一步代表了卢旺达问题国际法庭的机构记忆。尽管档案丰富，学者们还没有调查这些过渡时期司法机构内的知识生产的做法和政治，而不是集中在他们如何政治干预冲突后的景观。该项目纠正了这一点，并详细说明了档案的政治，如何允许不同的行为者为卢旺达问题国际法庭的知识生产做出贡献，以及档案和法庭作为一个整体是为了什么和谁。这个建议巩固了我的研究，因为我准备了一个大的早期职业研究资助。首先，该项目将加强研究的理论基础。Aradau（在关键IR的前沿学者）作为共同导师，我将询问福柯的理解档案之间的关系，并通过我的项目开发的档案的概念化，因为我检查的档案作为一个网站的记忆，机构和政治有争议。这为IR提供了智力贡献，并将在关键IR中清楚地展示我的研究。与此相一致，我将撰写两篇期刊文章，“知识档案”和“见证种族灭绝”，并与CUP签订图书协议。提高我的出版记录也将加强我对ESRC新研究者（NI）奖的申请，这是这个博士后的最终目标。虽然我的博士研究考察了档案馆的构建方式，但NI的提案将探索档案馆的来世。这有四个方面：代理（审判如何影响参与审判的证人，以及证人如何反过来影响审判）;记忆（档案如何影响种族灭绝的记忆），责任（档案如何影响全球法律的实施）和权力（档案如何影响行为者在“真实的世界”中的行为）。Gow教授获得了许多大笔研究赠款，他将提供所需的指导，以便提出成功的申请。在制定国家机构的投标时，我将对卢旺达问题国际法庭和卢旺达进行初步研究。这将使我能够首先接触到参加审判的证人（他们仍然受到法庭的保护），其次，在与预期受益人（法庭和证人）对话的情况下设计国家机构的投标，以确保产生最大的影响。回到卢旺达国际刑事法庭，我在2015年从事法律的研究，也意味着我可以继续从事卢旺达国际刑事法庭的遗产项目，种族灭绝故事项目（GSP），法庭的种族灭绝官方历史。因此，博士后和拟议的NI将继续发展我的合作研究方法。为了进一步这一点，我将与艺术家的“顾问”，以整合到NI申办一个重要的艺术项目。这将为艺术家和更广泛的预期受益者（如公众，前证人和法律的从业者）创造一个强大的影响途径，并丰富整个研究设计。原型艺术品可以在ESRC博士后的生命周期内制作，也可以更直接地用于与非学术观众互动。这项建议具有直接和长期的影响。我会完成GSP。第二，与艺术家的合作将对艺术家产生影响，并通过一系列展览对更广泛的公众产生影响。从长远来看，国家机构的实现将首先解决持续缺乏关于这些程序如何影响所涉证人的信息的问题，并对法庭的参与活动和在冲突后转型中的作用提出重要批评。这将导致提出一系列关于如何改进做法的建议。
