Michael Galchinsky maintains that, no matter how many treaties there are, a rights-respecting world will not truly exist until people everywhere can imagine it. The Modes of Human Rights Literature describes four major forms of human rights literature: protest, testimony, lament, and laughter to reveal how such works give common symbolic forms to widely held sociopolitical emotions. Michael Galchinsky is Professor of English, an affiliate of the Center for Human Rights and Democracy at Georgia State University, and a Fellow at the Yale University Center for Cultural Sociology, USA. He writes on human rights literature, international human rights law, and Jewish studies. 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aCultural Theory 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 676 $a809 700 $aGalchinsky$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0645018 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741167103321 996 $aThe Modes of Human Rights Literature$93554054 997 $aUNINA
