Overview
This book responds to the failures of human rights through an analysis of how literary and visual culture can expose human rights claims that are foreclosed in official discourses. Drawing on vulnerability theory, Moore develops a transnational feminist praxis for reading human rights and their violations in contemporary literary and visual culture in five (post-)colonial and transnational contexts. Moore demonstrates that the twinned discourses of precarity and security may open up readings of human rights claims that are, at once, embodied and shareable, and at the same time are themselves vulnerable to cooptation.
