The Center for the Study of Narrative and Conflict Resolution (CNCR) welcomes Dr. María Pía Lara, Professor and Researcher Autonomous of the Metropolitan University of Mexico, as she shares some of the issues developed in her work, "Narrating Evil: A Postmetaphysical Theory of Reflective Judgment". It deals critically with the need to theorize about actions and consequences of evil or cruelty instead of intentions. Moral responsibilities for atrocities can be framed in the territory of legal accountability using public judgments of past evil actions. It also focuses on the "exemplar" of a story, arguing that contextualizing and understanding concrete cases of human cruelty and of atrocities is the proper way to learn and create significant concepts of crimes.
