Abstract

From the fundamental rights proclaimed in the American and French declarations of independence to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Hannah Arendt’s furious critiques, the definition of what it means to be human has been hotly debated. But the history of human rights—and their abuses—is also a richly illustrated one. Following this picture trail, Human Rights In Camera takes an innovative approach by examining the visual images that have accompanied human rights struggles and the passionate responses people have had to them. Sharon Sliwinski considers a series of historical events, including the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and the Holocaust, to illustrate that universal human rights have come to be imagined through aesthetic experience. The circulation of images of distant events, she argues, forms a virtual community between spectators and generates a sense of shared humanity. Joining a growing body of scholarship about the cultural forces at work in the construction of human rights, Human Rights In Camera is a novel take on this potent political ideal.

Abstract

La plus fameuse de toutes les équipes de hockey est l'objet au Québec d'une formidable consolidation historique, identitaire, économique et culturelle. Plutôt que de nourrir le mythe du Grand Club — il n'en a guère besoin —, ce livre porte un regard critique sur son inscription sociale. De l'économie à la philosophie en passant par la sociologie, l'urbanisme et la science des religions, les auteurs conjuguent leurs perspectives pour tenter de mieux comprendre la place du Canadien dans la Cité.
