Theoretical Perspectives On Human Rights And Literature

Synopsis

Focusing on the intersection of literary studies and human rights, this collection provides the first full-length overview of this emerging interdiscipline by its leading scholars. It provides a history of the field in Holocaust, trauma, and postcolonial studies, an analysis of the central questions that have arisen out of this history, and a look to the possible futures of scholarship in human rights and literature. Essays examine different literary approaches to human rights from the perspectives of genre, narrative, and performativity theories and analyze the impact of contemporary theories of subjectivity on human rights literature. The interdisciplinary approach of this volume will appeal to scholars and students in legal studies, political science, ethical philosophy, language studies, women and gender studies, and cultural studies.
