The Routledge Companion to Literature and Human Rights provides a
comprehensive, transnational, and interdisciplinary map to this
emerging field, offering a broad overview of human rights and
literature while providing innovative readings on key topics. The
first of its kind, this volume covers essential issues and themes,
necessarily crossing disciplines between the social sciences and
humanities. Sections cover: subjects, with pieces on subjectivity,
humanity, identity, gender, universality, the particular, the body
forms, visiting the different ways human rights stories are crafted
and formed via the literary, the visual, the performative, and the
oral contexts, tracing the development of the literature over time
and in relation to specific regions and historical events impacts,
considering the power and limits of human rights literature,
rhetoric, and visual culture Drawn from many different global
contexts, the essays offer an ideal introduction for those
approaching the study of literature and human rights for the first
time, looking for new insights and interdisciplinary perspectives,
or interested in new directions for future scholarship.
