Abstract

Local transitional justice (TJ) processes have performed an invaluable function in raising awareness about conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence. While locally-rooted praxis has been increasingly suggested as an alternative to the top-down approach to TJ, which is prone to interference, this article argues that well-intentioned local initiatives can also be distorted through discursive framing tactics that set boundaries on discussions of conflict-related events and obfuscate who can be deemed responsible. In Cambodia, this has meant a partial account of sexual and gender-based violence—one that is limited to the three-year, eight-month and 20-day rule of the Khmer Rouge, and that marginalizes survivor experiences from other episodes of the 30-year-long internal conflict. This article explores and traces the unintended consequences of this discursive frame on three local TJ efforts to address the legacy of conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence: forum theatre, women’s hearings and testimonial therapy.

遗失的画面：在柬埔寨“其他”冲突时期应对性暴力和基于性别的暴力

摘要

地方过渡时期司法（TJ）进程在提高人们对与冲突有关的性暴力和基于性别的暴力的认识方面发挥了不可估量的作用。尽管越来越多地建议以本地为基础的实践来替代TJ的自上而下的方法，因为该方法容易受到干扰，但本文认为，通过讨论框架为讨论设置界限的话语框架策略也可以扭曲意图良好的本地计划。与冲突有关的事件，混淆了谁可以被视为负责任。在柬埔寨，这意味着对性暴力和基于性别的暴力作了部分解释-仅限于高棉胭脂三年，八个月和二十天的统治，这使幸存者经历在其他暴力事件中处于边缘地位长达30年的内部冲突。
