The lecture will delve into the interfaces between conflict, the urban and the laws of war. As the rubble of 15,000 destroyed and damaged buildings is still scattered through the streets and camps of Gaza, the battle of forensics has began: who can speak in the name of this rubble? What new reality can emerge in its stead? Has the chaos, death and destruction been actually instigated with the terrible force of the law?
