Abstract<\/strong>:
\nThe massacre at Thammasat University on October 6, 1976 was a
\ndisturbing history of the Thai nation. It isa traumatic past for the
\nvictims but a divisive history for the establishment. The massacre has
\nbeen increasingly discussed among and known to the new generations,
\nalbeit in the non-mainstream circle. Documentation of the atrocity was
\nlong overdue but it took 40 years for the work to begin. In late
\nSeptember 2017, a small group of academics and activists, including
\nPuangthong, created the online archive called \u201cDocumentation of
\nOctober 6\u201d www.doct6.com. One of the motives, possibly the most
\nperturbed one, of creating the archive was the realization that the
\nbasic and important information about the 41 dead victims, as simple
\nas their identities, has been neglected and missing all along. Though
\nthe astounding discovery did not change the narrative of the event, it
\nraised several questions, i.e. why and what is the meaning of such
\nnegligence; how the repressed and traumatic memory led to the
\ndisremembering of the victims. In this talk, Puangthong will also shed
\nlight on the challenges and difficulties for documenting state crime
\nin the society imbued with a culture of impunity and the undervalue of
\nindividuality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
