In Affective Justice Kamari Maxine Clarke explores the African Union's pushback against the ICC in order to theorize affect's role in shaping forms of justice in the contemporary period. Drawing on fieldwork in The Hague, the African Union in Addis Ababa, sites of postelection violence in Kenya, and Boko Haram's circuits in Northern Nigeria, Clarke formulates the concept of affective justice—an emotional response to competing interpretations of justice—to trace how affect becomes manifest in judicial practices. By detailing the effects of the ICC’s all-African indictments, she outlines how affective responses to these call into question the "objectivity" of the ICC’s mission to protect those victimized by violence and prosecute perpetrators of those crimes. In analyzing the effects of such cases, Clarke provides a fuller theorization of how people articulate what justice is and the mechanisms through which they do so. 2020-03-27 10:59:45 2020-04-01T06:48:15Z 2020-04-01T06:48:15Z 2019 book 1007888 9781478007388; 9781478006701; 9781478005759 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/22290 eng application/pdf n/a 9781478090304_OA.pdf https://www.dukeupress.edu/affective-justice Duke University Press 10.1215/9781478090304 10.1215/9781478090304 f0d6aaef-4159-4e01-b1ea-a7145b2ab14b 9781478007388; 9781478006701; 9781478005759 Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem (TOME) 384 Durham 2020-03-27 10:55:20, Funder name: UCLA/ Funding project name: Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem TOME open access
