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

在波斯尼亚战争（1992-1995年）期间，对妇女实施了极端暴力行为。这个跨学科的女权主义项目，连接社会地理和国际关系，调查lieux de memoire（记忆遗址），询问妇女如何在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（波黑）的集体记忆中被代表。通过与波黑参与为妇女争取正义的妇女同行和创作，使用参与性方法，批判性地探索了这些记忆空间的性别记忆轨迹。通过步行采访和照片语音，该研究将收集妇女的冲突证词，从而为冲突后波黑的性别纪念碑式的记忆景观贡献更多的亲密记忆和回忆。该研究还旨在揭示妇女在冲突后波黑面临的持续挑战。这个跨学科的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，它试图在波黑发展新的创伤和记忆场景的概念化;与幸存者一起发展一种新颖的方法;并探索在波斯尼亚战争的集体记忆中，妇女的故事在多大程度上被交替记住和遗忘，殉难和军事化，简化和歪曲。这项研究将产生一份高质量的博士论文，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举办一个摄影之声展览。

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.
