dc.description.abstractThose who argue for participation in development, “tend to believe that through this notion they have found a way of dealing with social contradictions generated by capitalism.” However, experts and animators, as mere ‘facilitators’ in this process also enable the development industry to shift responsibility (and thus accountability) for the consequences of their projects, to the participating folk. This paper questions intertwined notions of charity and wounding in war-torn, post-tsunami Sri Lanka where aid, in all its myriad forms from charity to cash-for-work to psycho-social therapy, appears at least at first pass, as a salve for those wounded by war and/or the tsunami.en
