Summary
The periods in which political and social life lead to great grievances are candidates to be either forgotten or remembered. When it comes to forgetting or remembering the events and their victims, both endeavors are shaped by the search for a stable account. And yet, with reference to both individual and societal suffering, to seek ways of returning to the old and the closing of a dilemma of whether to remember or to forget is not always possible. Coping with this kind of pain in an individual sense and trying to survive it despite all that remains unresolved is probably a condition that falls more under the purview of the field of clinical psychology, which is beyond the scope of this chapter. Within the politics of justice, on the other hand, the aim is eliminating or reducing the effects of victimization; and this is the subject matter of the following pages.
