Abstract
The research fields of transitional justice and memory politics are useful if we want to solve the political puzzle of why the silences and denials that relate to the memories of violent conflicts in Indonesia continue, despite an increased acceptance of global norms on transitional justice. In this chapter, I explain how innovative transnational and gender perspectives can address the limitations resulting from assumptions about power relations and globalization in these research fields. In this study, I combine approaches to the study of gender and globalization with theories on resistance, including how denial and resistance relate to the political dynamics of emotions and emotional agency after trauma. I end by developing my approach to the analysis of personal, strategic and social narratives.
