This collection explores torture from the array of approaches offered by the arts and humanities. It contends that these disciplines advance the discussion and eradication of torture by speaking about it in terms cognizant of the assaults on truth, memory, subjectivity, and language that the humanities theorize and that experience of torture perpetuates.
