The collected essays by an international group of authors, this book explores the ways in which law and legal institutions are used in countries coming to terms with traumatic pasts, and, in some cases, traumatic presents. Little attention has been paid in the past to the ways in which different, and sometimes competing, concepts of time are deployed in political and legal transformations. This volume breaks new ground through a specific thematisation of the modalities of time employed in such situations. The authors explore how pressing demands for reconstruction, reconciliation, and justice inform and respond to legal categories and their use of time. The book is genuinely interdisciplinary, drawing on work in politics, philosophy, theology, sociology and law. It will appeal to a wide audience of researchers and academics working in these areas.
