The Khojaly Tragedy as A Collective Trauma and Factor of Collective Memory and Identity

Abstract

The article considers some socio-psychological and socio-cultural aspects of the Khojaly tragedy. In particular the author analyses that event within the framework of such notions as a collective trauma and collective memory, and discuses the various ways in which Azerbaijani society could relate to the trauma. It is argued that this event was not only a psychic trauma for those who were the participants or victims of massacre but a collective trauma for the entire population, because people felt a threat to their collective identity. Looking into different ways of dealing with collective trauma the author suggests such method as “working through it” which requires broad and all-sided discussion of the traumatic event, in order to make sense of their causes, factors, and consequences and the definition of moral and legal responsibility for what took place. The author especially points out the role of international organizations in bringing justice and punishment of criminals irrespective of any geopolitical and economic calculations
