Focusing on the intersection of Human Rights, social justice, and literature, this book explores various literary forms, including fiction, plays, and poetry, to analyze representations of human rights violations. It delves into the experiences of violated bodies and the contexts surrounding these atrocities, examining how the concept of the 'subject' emerges in literary works. The study progresses from individual experiences to broader societal implications, addressing trauma, memory, and the creation of communities in response to loss, ultimately revealing literature's dual role in documenting human aspirations and their violations.
