Set at the intersection of Human Rights, social justice and
Literature, this cutting edge book examines a range of literary
texts, fiction, plays and poetry, and through them considers
representations of Human Rights and their violations. Examining
violated bodies and subjects, the settings and environments in
which these are embedded and the witnessing of atrocities, it
considers how the 'subject' (or 'person' of Human Rights) emerges
within fiction or poetry. Structured so as to move outward from the
individual body to the world, the study progresses from the
preconditions or settings for Human Rights violations through to
atrocity, from witnessing to the making of a specific kind of
public around traumatic recall. It addresses representations of
destroyed corporeality and subjectivity, the violations and
dissolution of the subject and the construction of trauma-memory
citizenship to the making of communities of mourning. Through a
broad study of texts from different genres, this text reveals how
Literature both documents the basic human aspirations of happiness,
security and hope, but also the limitations and the violations of
these aspirations.
