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.Social justiceHuman rightsComparative literatureCultureSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Comparative Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000Sociology of Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100Social justice.Human rights.Comparative literature.Culture.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.Comparative Literature.Sociology of Culture.303.372Nayar Pramod Kauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut627133BOOK9910154822403321Human Rights and Literature2523082UNINA
