| Résumé : |
Gestures of Testimony is an insightful, sometimes wrenching analysis of representations of torture from Franz Kafka's In the Penal Colony to the Bush Administration's “Torture Memos.” The book's mission, in the broadest terms, is to return its readers to material they have encountered as felt history and translate it into the more reaching language of literary and cultural theory. Gestures of Testimony is an important contribution to ethics, aesthetics, and human rights.” – James Dawes, DeWitt Wallace Professor of English, Macalester College, USA, and author of Evil Men |
