The Future of Testimony (eBook, PDF)

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Witnessing
Redaktion: Rowland, Antony; Kilby, Jane

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Celebrating the anniversary of Testimony, this collection joins leading academics from a range of fields to explore the meaning, use, and value of testimony in law and politics, its relationship to other forms of writing, and its place in society. These issues are necessarily inflected by the question of witnessing violence, pain, and suffering at both the local and global level, across cultures, and in postcolonial contexts. It presents an interdisciplinary concern over the current and future nature of witnessing as it plays out through a 'new' Europe, post-9/11 US, war-torn Africa, and in countless refugee and detention centers, and as it is worked out by lawyers, journalists, medics, and novelists.
