Grounded in Amartya Sen’s work on justice, identity, and violence, this article studies the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Cambodia as a space that encourages the ethical assessment of justice through non-didactic, disjunctive resonance between the normative and the unfamiliar. Defining architecture as a meaningful spatio-temporal continuum, the article employs an analytical methodology drawn from creative praxis to argue that our senses of identity are formed through architecture both cognitively, in our response to the known, and affectively, in our experience of the unknown. In order to retain the discursive nature of justice, this continuum needs to operate with a destabilising ambiguity to avoid exclusive ‘othering’. This ambiguity allows for our sense of identity to expand beyond group-based ideologies that can sustain and hide societal violence.

看自己的他人：吐斯廉屠杀博物馆的正义与建筑模糊

本文以阿玛蒂亚·森 (Amartya Sen) 关于正义、身份和暴力的著作为基础，研究柬埔寨吐斯廉屠杀博物馆，将其作为一个空间，通过规范与陌生之间的非说教式、分离式共振来鼓励对正义进行伦理评估。本文将建筑定义为一个有意义的时空连续体，采用了一种从创造性实践中汲取的分析方法论来论证我们的身份感是通过建筑在认知上形成的，在我们对已知的反应中，以及在情感上，在我们对未知的体验中. 为了保持正义的话语本质，这个连续统一体需要以一种不稳定的模糊性来运作，以避免排他性的“他者”。
