Emotional Labour in Sri Lanka's Transitional Justice Process (ONLINE ONLY)

Dr. Eva Ambos, Visiting Scholar, University of Peradeniya (Sri Lanka) and Research Scholar, University of Tübingen &
Ananda Galappatti, Independent Researcher

Transitional justice processes are about coming into terms with large scale violence. They seek to prevent recurrence and to bring redress for victims. Pillars of transitional justice such as truth and reconciliation commissions, judicial mechanisms and reparations have been investigated with respect to their psycho-social dimension and impact on the mental health of individuals and communities. Anthropological studies have thereby analyzed both, the promise and potential of transitional justice for individual and collective healing as well as its risks of reopening wounds, retraumatizing victims and resurfacing of violence in relation to past experiences of conflict. Yet less attention has been paid to the emotional and psychological implications for those involved in mediating and managing these processes. In this talk, we propose the concept of ‘emotional labour’ to analyze the psycho-social costs, investments and the resilience of engaging with the transitional justice process in Sri Lanka from 2015 to 2019. We thereby seek to critically interrogate the role of the psycho-social in transitional justice.

Alle Termine der Veranstaltung 'Medical Anthropology Forum - Wintersemester 2022/23':

The forum as a public event was designed to be a space where senior students and researchers could gather with MAHASSA students and other interested parties to discover and discuss current themes in medical anthropology. Medical anthropology raises important intellectual and scientific questions about human suffering and wellbeing, and about the human body in its relation to culture and society. This is a “survey course,” meaning that we will survey the most important topics in this field, including illness and suffering, ethnomedicine, ritual healing, the anthropology of the body, mental health and culture, medical pluralism and hegemony, critical medical anthropology, science technology and medicine studies, and others.

Please note that individual talks are offered in person (or possibly in a hybrid format), while others are offered online only.
