In this pioneering volume, Robert Skloot brings together four plays â€" three of which are published here for the first time â€" that fearlessly explore the face of modern genocide. The scripts deal with the destruction of four targeted populations: Armenians in Lorne Shirinian's Exile in the Cradle, Cambodians in Catherine Filloux's Silence of God, Bosnian Muslims in Kitty Felde's A Patch of Earth, and Rwandan Tutsis in Erik Ehn's Maria Kizito. Taken together, these four plays erase the boundaries of theatrical realism to present stories that probe the actions of the perpetrators and the suffering of their victims. A major artistic contribution to the study of the history and effects of genocide, this collection carries on the important journey toward understanding the terror and trauma to which the modern world has so often been witness.

The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century, perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish Government against the Armenians, a Christian minority in a Muslim state. One and a half million people died. The word 'genocide' itself was invented by Raphael Lemkin in 1943 to describe the events of 1915. Adolf Hitler used the Armenian Genocide as a direct inspiration for the Holocaust during the Second World War. To this day, the Turkish government refuses to admit that any genocide ever took place. Commemorating the exact centenary of the deportations that began the Armenian Genocide, I Wish To Die Singing – Voices From The Armenian Genocide is a controversial documentary drama uncovering the forgotten secrets and atrocities of a denied genocide – featuring eye-witness reportage, images, music, poetry from Armenia's greatest poets, and verbatim survivors testimonies from one of the greatest historical injustices of all time.

This paper explores the theatrical staging of genocide using Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection to highlight the impossibility of understanding and fully comprehending genocide. Traditional staging methods typically use a cohesive narrative structure which limits and edits the event to provide a stable conclusion. The debate of representing genocide does not centre solely on why one tries to stage these events but has shifted to emphasize how and if these events can be represented. Many theatre groups recognize the benefits of non-traditional staging methods. Groupov's Rwanda 94 (2000) highlights the inability of the abject to be performed and the impossibility of containing genocide by the length of the production as well as the integration of several art forms. In the exploration of visuality in Hotel Modern's Kamp (2005) the challenges of representing pain and violence are foregrounded. The ability to view the Holocaust is impacted by the intersection between film and the use of small puppets.

Massacres and mass killings have always marked if not shaped the history of the world and as such are subjects of increasing interest among historians. The premise underlying this collection is that massacres were an integral, if not accepted part (until quite recently) of warfare, and that they were often fundamental to the colonizing process in the early modern and modern worlds. Making a deliberate distinction between 'massacre' and 'genocide', the editors call for an entirely separate and new subject under the rubric of 'Massacre Studies', dealing with mass killings that are not genocidal in intent. This volume offers a reflection on the nature of mass killings and extreme violence across regions and across centuries, and brings together a wide range of approaches and case studies.

Genocide and Victimology examines genocide in its diverse features, from different yet connected perspectives, to offer an interdisciplinary, victimological imagination of genocide. It will include in its exploration critical and cultural victimologies and criminologies of genocide, accompanied by, and recognising, the rich scholarship on genocide in the fields of religion and history, theatre studies and photography, philosophy and existentialism, post-colonialism, and ethnography and biography. Bringing together theory with empirical research and drawing on a range of case studies, such as the Treblinka extermination camp, the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides, the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, Canada, and genocidal violence in Syria and Iraq, this book engages the victimological imagination towards an interdisciplinary, cosmopolitan victimology of genocide. Bundled and intertwined, the wide yet integrated variety of perspectives on genocide gives readers a victimological kaleidoscope to discover, and for victimology hitherto, unexplored theory and methodology. This way, readers can develop their own more epistemologically, theoretically, and methodologically robust victimology of genocide—a victimology of genocide as envisioned by Nicole Rafter. The book hopes to canvas an understanding and a starting point for a diverse appreciation of genocide victimhood and survivorship from which the real post-genocidal harms and sites, post-traumatic stress disorder, courts and tribunals, and overall meaningful justice will benefit. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, history, religious studies, English literature, and all those concerned with not repeating a history of genocide.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Theaterwissenschaft, Tanz, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: There may be three things that shape the identity of the Armenian Diaspora and the Armenian people: the food, the music, and most importantly the remembrance of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. The genocide is present in music, literature, and movies. During the 20th century, Armenian playwrights have rediscovered the topic for the theatre and were thus able to bring the genocide back into the mind of both Americans and Armenians. This paper analyses William Rolleri’s and Anna Antaramian’s play The Armenian Question, published in 1977. The play embeds real interviews and experiences of genocide survivors in a fictitious hearing which takes place in the 1970s while the world is suffering a devastating famine. A Turkish general wants the board to raise the food ratio for the Turkish people and meanwhile the board interrogates genocide survivors who in compensation strife for justice. In the play the conflict between the Turkish General and the Armenian witnesses is representative for the conflict between Turkey and Armenia. The fictitious setting of the play functions as a background for the message, namely that Armenians strive for justice against the Turkish government and that they want Turkey to name it a genocide. The text is a hybrid genre between reality and fiction, but the key point is that the drama wants to inform people about the cruelties which have happened in 1915. Linda Hutcheon has coined the term of “historiographic metafiction” for novels which are situated in the past with fictitious elements. There can be different levels of reality and truth is continually negotiated. Although this term so far has only been applied to novels, I’d like to argue that there is an equivalent in The Armenian Question, which also plays with the perception of reality. Firstly, the genre of the documentary theatre is being outlined. Secondly, there will be an introduction to the concept of historiographic metafiction. Subsequently, a close reading of the play will be performed and lastly, the findings will be summed up in a conclusive statement.
