America tortures -- pt. 2. Singularities of witness -- pt. 3. Graphic assaults, sensory overload -- pt. 4. Declassifying writing.This collection of essays is the first book to take up the urgent issue of torture from the array of approaches offered by the arts and humanities. In the post-9/11 era, where we are once again compelled to entertain debates about the legality of torture, this volume speaks about the practice in an effort to challenge the surprisingly widespread acceptance of state-sanctioned torture among Americans, including academics and the media–entertainment complex. Speaking about Torture also claims that the concepts and techniques practiced in the humanities have a special contribution to make to this debate, going beyond what is usually deemed a matter of policy for experts in government and the social sciences. It contends that the way one speaks about torture—including that one speaks about it—is key to comprehending, legislating, and eradicating torture. That is, we cannot discuss torture without taking into account the assaults on truth, memory, subjectivity, and language that the humanities theorize and that the experience of torture perpetuates. Such accounts are crucial to framing the silencing and demonizing that accompany the practice and representation of torture.Written by scholars in literary analysis, philosophy, history, film and media studies, musicology, and art history working in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, the essays in this volume speak from a conviction that torture does not work to elicit truth, secure justice, or maintain security. They engage in various ways with the limits that torture imposes on language, on subjects and community, and on governmental officials, while also confronting the complicity of artists and humanists in torture through their silence, forms of silencing, and classic means of representation. Acknowledging this history is central to the volume’s advocacy of speaking about torture through the forms of witness offered and summoned by the humanities.Torture in literatureTorture in mass mediaAbu Ghraib.Guantánamo.Torture.censorship.representation.trauma.witnessing.Torture in literature.Torture in mass media.809/.93355Carlson Julie Ann1955-1477389Weber Elisabeth1959-403042MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788688103321Speaking about torture3720955UNINA02006oam 2200397zu 450 991087244700332120241212215208.0(CKB)1000000000021582(SSID)ssj0000455444(PQKBManifestationID)12166222(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000455444(PQKBWorkID)10419544(PQKB)11549998(NjHacI)991000000000021582(EXLCZ)99100000000002158220160829d2002 uy engur|||||||||||txtccr17th IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault-Tolerance in VLSI Systems (DFT 2002)[Place of publication not identified]IEEE Computer Society Press20021 online resource (456 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780769518312 0769518311 These 45 papers from the November 2002 symposium discuss techniques to assess and enhance the yield, reliability, and availability of VLSI systems. Several of the contributors present new approaches to fault simulation and injection, concurrent error detection, yield prediction, and sequential circuit design for testability. Specific topics include a simplified gate-level fault model for crosstalk effects analysis, input ordering in concurrent checkers to reduce power consumption, on-chip jitter measurement for phase locked loops, and a method to evaluate the repairability of embedded multiple regions DRAMs. No subject index.
