The Rape Hotel: Women's memories of the Bosnian War (1992-1995)

在波斯尼亚战争（1992-1995年）期间，发生了针对妇女的极端暴力行为。这个跨学科的女权主义项目，连接了社会地理学和国际关系，调查了波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（波黑）的记忆地点，询问妇女如何在集体记忆中被代表。通过参与的方法，它批判性地探索了这些记忆空间的性别记忆轨迹，通过与参与为波黑妇女争取正义的妇女一起行走和创造。通过行走访谈和照片语音，研究将收集妇女对冲突的证词，从而为冲突后波黑的性别纪念性记忆景观提供更亲密的记忆和“女性的记忆”。该研究还旨在揭示冲突后波黑妇女面临的持续挑战。这个跨学科项目旨在整合女性主义国际关系和女性主义社会地理学的认识论方法。在这样做的过程中，它寻求发展波黑创伤和记忆的新概念；与幸存者一起开发一种新颖的方法；并探索在波斯尼亚战争的集体记忆中，女性的故事在多大程度上被交替记住和遗忘，被牺牲和被军事化，被简化和被歪曲。这项研究将产生一篇高质量的博士论文，在国际期刊上发表一些原创文章，并在萨拉热窝冲突后研究中心展出照片。

During the Bosnian War (1992-1995), acts of extreme violencewere committed against women. This interdisciplinary feministproject, bridging Social Geography and International Relations,investigates lieux de mémoire (sites of memory) to ask howwomen have been represented in the collective memoryscapeacross Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Using participatorymethods, it critically explores the gendered remembrancetrajectories of these spaces of memory, by walking-with andcreating-with women involved in fighting for justice for womenin BiH. Through walking-interviews and photo-voice, theresearch will gather women's testimonies of conflict, therebycontributing more intimate memories and lieux de mémoire tothe gendered monumental memoryscape of post-conflict BiH.The research also aims to reveal the ongoing challengeswomen face in post-conflict BiH. This interdisciplinary projectseeks to integrate epistemological approaches from feministInternational Relations and feminist Social Geography. In sodoing, it seeks to develop new ground-up conceptualizations oftrauma- and memoryscapes in BiH; to develop a novelmethodology alongside survivors; and to explore the extentwhich women's stories have been alternately remembered andforgotten, martyred and militarised, simplified andmisrepresented, within the collective memory of the BosnianWar. The research will result in a high quality PhD thesis, anumber of original articles in international journals, and aphotovoice exhibition at the Sarajevo Post-Conflict ResearchCentre.
