Introduction: A genealogy of reconciliation?
No full textReconciliation has become something of a buzzword. It is regularly invoked in discussions about how societies might go about the business of contending with a violent past, presumed to be a key goal of transitional justice processes,1 and viewed as an ‘absolute necessity’ for societies contending with legacies of violence and atrocity.2 As such, reconciliation is no longer confined to its original, largely religious, connotations, denoting a relationship between individuals and their God;3 it has expanded and transformed into a central facet of most, if not all, political transitions and post-conflict peacebuilding programmes. There is now a veritable reconciliation industry, with practitioners and organisations dedicated to ensuring that individuals, states and societies reconcile with one another. At the same time, there have been numerous attempts to offer a definition of reconciliation, which have tended to centre understandings of reconciliation on the (re)building or repair of relationships at various levels within a society – from the individual to the nation.4 In the political and secular domain, it is often conceived of as a process, with ‘thin’ and ‘thick’ versions,5 from the mere absence of violent conflict to a deeper empathy and the engine of political transformation
