Résumé
Mémoire d’un passé révolu, mémoire du viol : nostalgie, traumatisme et construction de la mémoire collective des Zo Hnahthlak
La mémoire collective sociale est la force motrice de toutes les méta récits de l’identité nationale, elle est à l’origine du mouvement, que ceux ci soient composés de bons moments ou de mauvais moments. En fait, les souvenirs sont des objets qui se ruent de façon inattendue hors de l’esprit, reliant le présent avec le passé. Le lien entre les personnes, le patrimoine, le territoire et l’État est constitué par l’utilisation de métaphores botaniques. Le Zo / Mizo ou Zomi utilisent l’image d’un arbre pour lier leurs racines avec le territoire revendiqué, ils prétendent que leurs chansons et leurs folklores parlent d’un grand arbre, le Khampat Bungpui (ou Banyan), planté par leurs ancêtres avant leur migration à partir du village Zopui, à l’ouest de la vallée de TiAu au Myanmar. La mémoire du village Zopui, symbole de la grandeur de l’histoire des Zo est le fil conducteur de la mémoire sociale de la communauté Zo Hnahthlak.
Les horreurs de l’insurrection et de la contre-insurrection, les viols massifs de femmes et d’abus de mineurs restent intégrés dans la mémoire sociale de la population Zo / Mizo. Cette contribution étudie la question épineuse de l’enracinement de la mémoire et du traumatisme dans l’identité des Zo Hnahthlak.
