'If only people knew, they would do something.' Every day we see
evidence that, when it comes to human rights violations, knowledge
is not a guarantee for action. What stops people from doing more to
protect human rights? What factors generate passivity or are we
simply a passive generation? Passivity Generation addresses these
important questions and reports on a series of studies exploring
what happens to the knowledge related to human rights violations
when it reaches the public. The book applies a unique mix of
psychosocial methods to understand the complexity of emotional,
cognitive and ideological responses to human rights violations and
examines the banal quality of the everyday vocabularies that people
use to make sense of human rights and their violations, and justify
not intervening. In Passivity Generation, Irene Bruna Seu offers a
vivid and compassionate account of how past experiences of trauma
and suffering affect individual (un)responsiveness, and explores
the psychodynamics of passivity and its underpinning defence
mechanisms.
