However, it has not always been so. The category of torture is a very specific way of thinking about violence, and our current understandings of the term are rooted in recent twentieth-century history. In This Side of Silence, social anthropologist Tobias Kelly argues that the tensions between post-Cold War armed conflict, human rights activism, medical notions of suffering, and concerns over immigration have produced a distinctively new way of thinking about torture, which is saturated with notions of law and trauma. This Side of Silence asks what forms of suffering and cruelty can be acknowledged when looking at the world through the narrow legal category of torture. The book focuses on the recent history of Britain but draws wider comparative conclusions, tracing attempts to recognize survivors and perpetrators across the fields of asylum, criminal law, international human rights, and military justice. In this thorough and eloquent ethnography, Kelly avoids treating the legal prohibition of torture as the inevitable product of progress and yet does not seek to dismiss the real differences it has made in concrete political struggles. Based on extensive archival research and ethnographic fieldwork, the book argues that the problem of recognition rests not in the inability of the survivor to communicate but in our inability to listen and take responsibility for the injustice before us. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aTorture$xMoral and ethical aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolitical prisoners$xAbuse of$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolitical prisoners$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain 606 $aSuffering$xPolitical aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aHuman rights$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTorture$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aPolitical prisoners$xAbuse of 615 0$aPolitical prisoners$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aSuffering$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a364.6/7 700 $aKelly$b Tobias$0943753 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463885303321 996 $aThis side of silence$92490898 997 $aUNINA
