Special Issue (Volume 31, 2011) on Human Rights in Art and Education
These are critical times in an increasingly global world where war has become a permanent condition and the global economic crisis has impacted all arenas of civil society in profound ways. As cultural workers, artists and educators continue to engage in human rights discourses that open new ways of thinking about human rights as a cultural practice, and as a site of knowledge and action. This special issue of JCRAE will focus on how art, media, technology, and education are responding to a range of human rights issues in terms of representation, witnessing, performance, and memorialization of atrocities/injustices. The issue of human rights encompasses all injustices — such as trafficking of humans or organs, terrorism, environmental racism, incarceration, immigration and border issues, economic injustices, labor, gender and sexuality, etc.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Performing human rights
- Memory and human rights
- The ways in which the media “disciplines” and/or challenges the discourses of human rights.
- The pedagogy of human rights
- Human rights as spectacle
- Projects that address human rights issues through the arts in schools, community organizations, public spaces, etc.
- The politics of representation in relation to documenting and presenting atrocities
