The Social Work of Narrative – Human Rights and the Cultural Imaginary

By (author) Gareth Griffiths, By (author) Philip Mead





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

This book addresses the ways in which a range of representational forms have influenced and helped implement the project of human rights across the world, and seeks to show how public discourses on law and politics grow out of and are influenced by the imaginative representations of human rights. It draws on a multi-disciplinary approach, using historical, literary, anthropological, visual arts, and media studies methods and readings, and covers a wider range of geographic areas than has previously been attempted. A series of specifically-commissioned essays by leading scholars in the field and by emerging young academics show how a multidisciplinary approach can illuminate this central concern.
