Abstract

"The series Literature and Human Rights was inaugurated in order to promote scholarly studies in the Hispanic and Lusa-Brazilian literatures linking aesthetic theories and arguments, genre studies and textual analyses with economic, social, and political issues that ocndition and promotion, violation and defense of human rights, as well as the creation and definition of new human rights. In doing so, the editors and contributors are motivated by the belief that the humanistic issues involved in the study and defense of human rights should be one of the most important factors attending the continuous process of academic canonization of literary works, movements, trends and critical theories."--Publisher's description.
