  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:Vietnam Veterans Memorial LOCATION: Washington, D.C., U.S. DATE: . 1982 C.E. ARTIST: Maya Lin PERIOD/STYLE: Minimalism PATRON: The Commision of Fine Arts MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE: Granite FORM: Highly reflective black granite with incised names of 58,000 names ofVietnam Veterans who sacrificed their lives during the conflict. The name is an abstraction that means more to the family and friends than a pictorial representation. The two walls start very short and get progressively taller until they meet at an oblique angle at the monument’s center. One wall points towards the Washington Monument; the other points to the Lincoln Memorial. FUNCTION: It functions as a memorial to the soldiers that died during the Vietnam War. It is an ideal place for people to come and spend quiet time reflecting on the names and perhaps leaving mementos to the deceased. CONTENT: The walls are made of a dark igneous rock called gabbro, a type of granite, which is highly reflective when polished.The surface of the monument is etched with the 58,195 names of the Americans who died or remained missing in action in the Vietnam War. The names are listed in the order in which they were reported killed or missing in action. This makes the names harder to find, and re- quires a listing and numeric system of organization for visitors. CONTEXT: There were 1400 anonymous entries for this commission. There was a real backlash once her identity was known because of latent racism in the post Vietnam era. She defended her design in front of the United States Congress, who eventually reached a compro- mise: A group of more “traditional” sculptures, called “The Three Soldiers,” was erected near the monument.

  • SUBMISSION GUIDELINES in Effect Beginning with Issue 14.3 and New Submissions from December 1, 2020
    GENOCIDE STUDIES AND PREVENTION SUBMISSION GUIDELINES In effect beginning with Issue 14.3 and new submissions from December 1, 2020 Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal (GSP) publishes empirical and theoretical work that deals with collective violence – with a focus on genocides. It promotes the scholarly discussion of concepts and cases that address the causes, occurrences, consequences, and the prevention and punishment of such violence. This peer-reviewed journal publishes articles on the latest developments in research, theory, and policy from various disciplines and fields including anthropology, criminology, education, gender studies, history, law, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, social theory, sociology, and visual culture. GSP features full research articles, (legal) case studies, field notes, state of the field articles, art pieces and literary works, translations of important documents from languages other than English, as well book and art reviews. Lemkin and the Genocide Convention: GSP is a journal specializing in the subject of genocide studies. It is, therefore, assumed that authors and readers have knowledge of the basic facts of the history of Raphaël Lemkin and his creation of the word genocide, as well as the Genocide Convention and its definition of genocide. Therefore, we request that authors DO NOT include an outline of such facts in their article. This does not preclude authors from discussing more detailed aspects of Lemkin or the Genocide Convention, nor from including their own interpretation of the definition of genocide. GSP conforms to the Chicago Manual of Style, specifically the 17th edition. For questions not answered here, please consult the Chicago Manual of Style, a quick citations guide can be found here.
