It isa traumatic past for the<br \/>\nvictims but a divisive history for the establishment. The massacre has<br \/>\nbeen increasingly discussed among and known to the new generations,<br \/>\nalbeit in the non-mainstream circle. Documentation of the atrocity was<br \/>\nlong overdue but it took 40 years for the work to begin. In late<br \/>\nSeptember 2017, a small group of academics and activists, including<br \/>\nPuangthong, created the online archive called \u201cDocumentation of<br \/>\nOctober 6\u201d www.doct6.com. One of the motives, possibly the most<br \/>\nperturbed one, of creating the archive was the realization that the<br \/>\nbasic and important information about the 41 dead victims, as simple<br \/>\nas their identities, has been neglected and missing all along. Though<br \/>\nthe astounding discovery did not change the narrative of the event, it<br \/>\nraised several questions, i.e. why and what is the meaning of such<br \/>\nnegligence; how the repressed and traumatic memory led to the<br \/>\ndisremembering of the victims. In this talk, Puangthong will also shed<br \/>\nlight on the challenges and difficulties for documenting state crime<br \/>\nin the society imbued with a culture of impunity and the undervalue of<br \/>\nindividuality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Challenges of Documenting state violence in Thailand: the Case of the Oct 6 Massacre Date and Time: Jul [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5457,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/kyoto.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Oct6_flyer.jpg?fit=1700%2C2200&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s8zpss-20180725","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5446"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5460,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446\/revisions\/5460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
