This book investigates the imaginative capacities of literature,
art and culture as sites for reimagining human rights, addressing
deep historical and structural forms of belonging and unbelonging;
the rise of xenophobia, neoliberal governance, and securitization
that result in the purposeful precaritization of marginalized
populations; ecological damage that threatens us all, yet the
burdens of which are distributed unequally; and the possibility of
decolonial and posthuman approaches to rights discourses. The book
starts from the premise that there are deep-seated limits to the
political possibilities of state and individual sovereignty in
terms of protecting human rights around the world. The essays
explore how different forms, materials, perspectives, and
aesthetics can help reveal the limits of normative human rights and
contribute to the cultural production of new human rights
imaginaries beyond the borders of state and self.
