Examining violated bodies and subjects, the settings andenvironments in which these are embedded and the witnessing of atrocities, itconsiders how the ‘subject’ (or ‘person’ of Human Rights) emerges withinfiction or poetry. Structured so as to move outward from the individual bodyto the world, the study progresses from the preconditions or settings forHuman Rights violations through to atrocity, from witnessing to the making ofa specific kind of public around traumatic recall. It addressesrepresentations of destroyed corporeality and subjectivity, the violations anddissolution of the subject and the construction of trauma-memory citizenshipto the making of communities of mourning. Through a broad study of texts fromdifferent genres, this text reveals how Literature both documents the basichuman aspirations of happiness, security and hope, but also the limitationsand the violations of these aspirations.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Human Rights, social justice and Literature; Human Rights and their violations; Trauma Studies and the | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-50432-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-70021-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-50432-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
