Topic: Literature, Torture, and Human Rights

=20

Mindful of human rights violations and torture in CIA
secret prisons in 
=
Europe, Guant=E1namo, and Abu Ghraib, as well as in
Sudan, Guatemala, =
and North Korea, we invite papers that re-examine
literary works =
negotiating the moral and ethical issues surrounding
human rights and =
torture. Both theoretical and pedagogical explorations
of human =
rights/torture as re-presented in literature are
welcome. We are =
particularly interested in papers that complicate,
with the help of =
literature, our understanding of human rights as an
international =
language of ethics. We will also consider papers that
examine the =
relationship between human rights reports and their
narrativity.=20
