In this Wednesdays at the Center, Spring 2022 event, we hosted a presentation of the book, "Embodied Enactments: Human Rights in Colombian Literature and Cultural Production," with editors Kevin Guerrieri (UC San Diego) and Carlos Gardeazabal-Bravo (Rhodes College), and authors Daniel Coral (UC Davis), Carolina Sánchez (Rutgers), and Miguel Rojas-Sotelo (Duke University).
This volume explores how Colombian cultural production seek to enact-to perform, to stage, to represent-human rights that are otherwise enacted discursively, that is, made public or official, in juridical and political realms. Through a wide range of disciplinary lenses, the different chapters explore counter-hegemonic concepts of human rights and enacted justice via art and cultural production, amplifying the discourses of human dignity and emancipation within and beyond academia.
The event was part of Wednesdays at the Center, a series produced by Duke University's John Hope Franklin Center and the Duke Center for International & Global Studies.
