Confronting Historical Injustice in Indonesia: Memory and Transnational Human Rights Activism

自1990年代以来，在印度尼西亚，与历史不公正有关的记忆和人权活动蓬勃发展。该项目利用“记忆区域”概念的创新框架，研究印度尼西亚国内外的人权活动家如何利用记忆实现人权成果。通过国家和国际合作，该项目将分析为什么跨国行动主义涉及日本占领（1942-45），独立斗争（1945-1949）和1965年大规模暴力的罪行在特定时间点升级，并加深我们对记忆和人权之间关系的理解。

Since the 1990s there has been a boom in memory and in human rights activism relating to historical injustice in Indonesia. Using an innovative framework of the concept of ‘regions of memory’ this project examines how human rights activists located within and outside Indonesia use memory for the purposes of achieving human rights outcomes. Through national and international collaborations this project will analyse why transnational activism concerning crimes from the Japanese occupation (1942-45), the independence struggle (1945-1949) and the 1965 mass violence escalated at particular points in time and deepen our understanding of the relationship between memory and human rights.
