This essay examines mourning and the possibilities for open grief among veterans, asking how the traces of what has been lost persist into the present in ways that find no easy resolution. It questions the normative value of an end to mourning, proposing instead that grief—and indeed our anthropological formulations of the meaning of such affects and events—might be held open, trace and memory maintained, imagining recognition as something open-ended that might recast discomfort as the potential for a different kind of sociality.

哀悼，影响，社会：关于开放悲伤的可能性

本文探讨了哀悼和退伍军人公开悲痛的可能性，并询问丢失的痕迹如何以难以解决的方式延续至今。它质疑结束哀悼的规范价值，而是提出悲伤，乃至我们对这种情感和事件的意义的人类学表述可能保持开放，追踪和记忆，并设想承认是无止境的，可能会重铸不适感，因为它可能带来另一种社交形式。
