Recent studies regarding reconciliation have argued that restorative justice creates depoliticised consensus. This paper tests this argument by exploring the Hawke government’s role in the reconciliation of the Australian public with Vietnam veterans in 1987, and the opportunities that this resolution created to mark Anzac Day free of the complicating tensions that had characterised the day in the period since the Vietnam War. It argues that the restorative justice evident in the reincorporation of Vietnam veterans into national narratives of Anzac provided opportunities for political elites like Hawke to convincingly employ Anzac as an ideograph and inscribe the day with new meaning. This process had profound continuing effects for the marking of Anzac Day that demonstrate the politically limiting effects of restorative justice. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
近年来关于和解的研究认为恢复性司法造就了去政治化的共识。为印证这一说法,本文分析了1987年霍克政府如何调节澳大利亚公众与越战老兵的关系,以及这次和解如何让澳新军团纪念日不再似越战以来那样的紧张纠结。作者指出,恢复性司法将越战老兵重新纳入澳新军团日的国家叙事中,这使得霍克这样的政治精英可以用该纪念日象形表意,并赋予其新的意义。这一过程意义深长,标志着恢复性司法在政治上对澳新军团纪念日的限制性影响。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
