The Modes of Human Rights Literature: Towards a Culture without Borders

The Modes of Human Rights Literature: Towards a Culture without Borders by Michael Galchinsky
English | 2016 | ISBN: 3319318500 | 132 Pages | PDF | 2.5 MB

This sophisticated book argues that human rights literature both helps the persecuted to cope with their trauma and serves as the foundation for a cosmopolitan ethos of universal civility―a culture without borders. 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.
