About me
Dr Henrique Tavares Furtado completed his PhD in Politics from the University of Manchester in 2016, when he joined the Politics and IR programme at UWE. He is the Co-convenor of the BISA Poststructural Politics Working Group and a council member of the Latin American Bureau (LAB).
Area of expertise
His research investigates the links between politically motivated acts of violence (terror, extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances), rituals of remembrance and truth-seeking, and theories of collective trauma in International Relations (with a focus on the uses of psychoanalysis in decolonial and anti-colonial thought). He is particularly interested in the ways in which global regimes of truth-seeking and truth-telling (at work in truth commissions, public inquiries, and other transitional justice mechanisms) shape the limits of political subjectivity by reifying imaginaries of justice and resistance. He is the author of Politics of Impunity: Torture, the Armed Forces and the Failure of Transitional Justice in Brazil (Edinburgh University Press, 2022) and numerous journal articles on the themes of political violence, critical security studies, transitional justice and memory and trauma in IR.
