- 요약Three decades have now passed since the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and the next generation of Rwandans is processing this shared history. Berger and Luckman (1966) reflect upon the role of generational knowledge in reifying reality. In this dissertation, I look to the role of legal and commemorative institutions, and the powerful actors who wield them, to understand the creation and contestation of collective memory for the post-genocide generation. In Chapter 4, I draw from the sociology of law to examine to the evolution of narratives within Rwandan legal institutions across time (Minow 1998; Weber 2019, Savelsberg 2021). I first draw from prominent scholarship to review Rwanda's sociolegal history (Mamdani 2001; Kimonyo 2016; Mwambari 2023). In doing so, I apply Fraenkel's (1941) model of the dual state to Rwanda's sociolegal history, tracing varying dualities in functionality and purpose across time. Additionally, I push beyond Fraenkel's national-level framework through analysis of the UN's post-genocide tribunal and contemporary Rwandan genocide speech laws. In Chapter 5, I turn to commemorative institutions and the construction of genocide memory narratives within them (Alexander 2004; Longman 2017, Savelsberg 2021). I look to commemorative space and events at the national and localized level, analyzing how powerful actors craft collective memory narratives with these spaces. I also introduce the concept of peripheral commemoration. This concept expands upon the existing literature on the commemorative realm by returning sites into their broader social context, capturing the interplay between the sacred and the everyday and widening the scope of social engagement with memorial space. In Chapter 6, I draw from interview data with Rwandans in the post-genocide generation to better understand their adoption or contestation of genocide narratives found within legal and commemorative institutions (Mannheim 1927; Olick 1999; Hatzfeld 2018).
