The foundation of a stable democracy in Spain was built on a settled account: an agreement that both sides were equally guilty of violence, a consensus to avoid contention, and a pact of oblivion as the pathway to peace and democracy. That foundation is beginning to crack as perpetrators' confessions upset the silence and exhumations of mass graves unbury new truths. It has become possible, even if not completely socially acceptable, to speak openly about the past, to disclose the testimonies of the victims, and to ask for truth and justice. Contentious coexistence that put political participation, contestation, and expression in practice has begun to emerge. This book analyzes how this recent transformation has occurred. It recognizes that political processes are not always linear and inexorable. Thus, it remains to be seen how far contentious coexistence will go in Spain.

This study explores an effect of violent conflict in Cyprus-Missing Persons-and the process of exhumations. By interviewing experts on the Cypriot conflict about the exhumations process, Fics has revealed the challenges and successes that may arise for sustainable peace and healing in Cyprus and beyond.

Human Remains and Identification presents a pioneering investigation into the practices and methodologies used in the search for and exhumation of dead bodies resulting from mass violence. Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists and historians here confront historical and contemporary exhumations with the application of social context to create an innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue, enlightening the political, social and legal aspects of mass crime and its aftermaths.

Through a ground-breaking selection of international case studies, Human Remains and Identification argues that the emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of dead bodies has led to a "forensic turn", normalising exhumations as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons?

The "Medici Project" – launched in 2004 – comprises a palaeopathological study of the corpses of the Medici buried in the Medici Chapels. The exhumations which took place in the past have altered the original state of the sepulchres, frequently compromising their conservation. Through the study of archive documents and iconographic material, this book is offered as a contribution to the contextualisation of these operations, and represents not only a starting-point for further investigations, but a fundamental working tool for the "Medici Project" itself. - Illacrimate sepolture prende spunto dalla recente ricerca paleopatologica e storica delle salme dei membri della famiglia Medici, sepolti nella cripta delle Cappelle Medicee, per guardare indietro alla storia delle precedenti esumazioni, a partire dal 1559, quando furono traslati i corpi di Lorenzo il Magnifico e di Giuliano, suo fratello, fino alla esumazione del secolo scorso, condotta da Giuseppe Genna e Gaetano Pieraccini. Ripercorrere le vicende di queste sepolture, spiegando le motivazioni delle scelte (a volte discutibili) del passato, e contestualizzando i diversi interventi alla luce delle esigenze che li avevano motivati, può infatti servire a indicare la strada più giusta ai ricercatori attualmente impegnati nel Progetto Medici. Fondata su documenti d'archivio e materiale iconografico prevalentemente inedito, la presente ricerca si propone quindi come punto di partenza per indagini ulteriori, e come imprescindibile strumento di lavoro.
