A pesar del importante corpus documental producido en el campo de los Genocide Studies –y paradójicamente cuando se piensa en el modo en que se desarrollaron los estudios sobre el cuerpo–, la cuestión de la suerte del cadáver de las víctimas en las violencias de masa resulta todavía un tema ampliamente inexplorado. El cuerpo ciertamente representa una temática transversal de las Ciencias Sociales. No obstante esto, aun considerado en todos sus estados al hallarse vivo, desaparece casi totalmente de la mirada de los investigadores una vez muerto. Únicamente los arqueólogos y los antropólogos especializados en el campo de lo funerario se venían preocupando por la implicación social, religiosa o política de la cual es objeto el cuerpo muerto en contextos de producción masiva de cadáveres.Este volumen reúne contribuciones de historiadores, juristas y antropólogos que se hicieron la pregunta del por qué los restos humanos y los cadáveres presentes numerosamente constituyen todavía lo impensado, acaso el tabú, de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo acerca de genocidios y violencias extremas. El resultado de esta reflexión colectiva ofrece a la vez un estado del arte en nuestras diferentes disciplinas, y una exposición tanto de los cuestionamientos actuales como de las dificultades reales a aprehender de un tema extremo, aunque necesario. ; Malgré un important corpus documentaire produit dans le champ des Genocide Studies – et de façon assez paradoxale si l'on songe à la façon dont se sont déployées les études sur le corps – la question du sort fait au cadavre des victimes dans les violences de masse demeure encore un thème largement inexploré. Le corps représente, certes, une thématique transversale des sciences sociales, mais s'il est considéré dans tous ses états tant qu'il est vivant, il disparaît largement de l'attention des chercheurs, une fois mort. Seuls les archéologues et les anthropologues spécialistes du champ funéraire se sont penchés sur l'investissement social, religieux ou politique dont le corps mort fait l'objet en contexte de production massive de cadavres. Ce volume rassemble des contributions d'historiens, de juristes et d'anthropologues qui sont demandés pourquoi les restes humains et les cadavres présents en grand nombre constituent encore l'impensé, voire le tabou, des recherches menées sur les génocides et les violences extrêmes.

Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute the end of the executors' work. Their victims' remains are often treated and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering, often with remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. Interdisciplinary in scope, Destruction and human remains will appeal to readers interested in the history and implications of genocide and mass violence, including researchers in anthropology, sociology, history, politics and modern warfare
