| Riassunto: | Perpetrated only ten years ago, the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda resulted
in numerous commemoration ceremonies that took place during the exhumation services, when thousands of bodies – mostly non-identified –, were officially re-buried. What was the role of these ceremonies in the Great Lakes'
societies, where usually burial is not part of social tradition and even less so is
public exposal of a dead body? Did these ceremonies represent a “necessary
process of mourning”, did they open the way to reconciliation, or, on the
contrary, did they re-open already existing tensions? |
