Topic: Literature, Torture, and Human Rights

=20

Mindful of human rights violations and torture in CIA secret prisons in =
Europe, Guant=E1namo, and Abu Ghraib, as well as in Sudan, Guatemala, =
and North Korea, we invite papers that re-examine literary works =
negotiating the moral and ethical issues surrounding human rights and =
torture. Both theoretical and pedagogical explorations of human =
rights/torture as re-presented in literature are welcome. We are =
particularly interested in papers that complicate, with the help of =
literature, our understanding of human rights as an international =
language of ethics. We will also consider papers that examine the =
relationship between human rights reports and their narrativity.=20
