Subtle Alchemies II: Victims, Aren't We All?
Manage episode 514979348 series 3290392
In this episode I move on to discuss the terms 'victim' and 'perpetrator' and that in post-conflict societies these terms are seldom mutually exclusive of one another.
Are we much too early, in terms of reconciliation, to even begin to think about determining ideal constructs of both 'victim' and 'perpetrator' in Northern Ireland?
Never mind 'Hierarchies of Victims', were there 'Hierarchies of Righteous Violence'?
Lots to discuss...
