After terror. On eulogies and speeches in the wake of 22 July 2011 (completed)

Can rituals be a key component in a transformative democratic process for a society that provides a basis for tackling local and global crises? That is the question asked by the  SAMKUL project REDO. The project, which was funded by the Research Council of Norway and led by the University of Oslo, involved 21 researchers from three continents in the period 2013–2016.

Cora Alexa Døving participated in the following sub-project: “22 July: Performance violence and public ritual response”. Here, she analysed the public rallies, written eulogies left at temporary memorial sites in Oslo's streets and the speeches held in the wake of the 22 July 2011 terror attacks, with the emphasis on the minority perspective.
