Focusing on the interplay between literature and Human Rights, this book analyzes various literary forms—fiction, plays, and poetry—to explore representations of human rights violations. It delves into the experiences of violated bodies and the contexts of trauma, tracing the emergence of the 'subject' within these narratives. The study progresses from individual experiences to broader societal implications, highlighting themes of trauma, memory, and community. Ultimately, it reveals how literature captures both the aspirations for dignity and the harsh realities of human rights abuses.
