Absence after war

The search for people gone missing in wars and modern conflicts has taken a major historical importance over the past few decades. Those we are talking about in Hope are the victims of the Srebrenica massacre. But they are also those who disappeared under the Argentinian and Chilean dictatorships, and the victims of Cambodia, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Central Africa, Chechnya, Mexico... A strange part of humanity, cut off from all spirit of revenge or reconciliation, suspended and waiting, hoping for a response that can't but come. We're invaded by violent images of war that have become almost banal, but we never see the violence of the void war leaves behind. An intimate disappearance, too, as in Laurent Mauvignier's Return to Berratham, for the women raped during those conflicts and whose bodies become invisible to their own eyes.
