Moore, Elizabeth Swanson1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (XL, 248 p.) Palgrave Studies in Life Writing,2730-9193Includes index.9783319749648 3319749641 This book demonstrates a new, interdisciplinary approach to life writing about torture that situates torture firmly within its socio-political context, as opposed to extending the long line of representations written in the idiom of the proverbial dark chamber. By dismantling the rhetorical divide that typically separates survivors' suffering from human rights workers' expertise, contributors engage with the personal, professional, and institutional dimensions of torture and redress. Essays in this volume consider torture from diverse locations - the Philippines, Argentina, Sudan, and Guantánamo, among others. From across the globe, contributors witness both individual pain and institutional complicity; the challenges of building communities of healing across linguistic and national divides; and the role of the law, art, writing, and teaching in representing and responding to torture.Palgrave Studies in Life Writing,2730-9193Literature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryLiteratureHuman rightsTerrorismPolitical violenceContemporary LiteratureWorld LiteratureHuman RightsTerrorism and Political ViolenceLiterature, ModernLiterature, ModernLiterature.Human rights.Terrorism.Political violence.Contemporary Literature.World Literature.Human Rights.Terrorism and Political Violence.364.675Moore Alexandra Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSwanson Elizabethedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299997703321Witnessing Torture2150034UNINA
