The Social Self and Social Death: Rethinking Crimes Against Humanity

Building upon pragmatist notions of the relational social self and the American feminist philosopher Claudia Card's concept of social death, I argue for a more conceptually nuanced concept of reparations in the aftermath of genocide. Genocide targets the social vitality of groups and the repair that follows in the aftermath of such crimes must focus on repairing the group's social vitality.
