Human Rights and the Moral Imagination in Contemporary Latin
America
This talk will explore the interconnections between the coming of a particular iteration of human rights discourse to much of Latin America in the 1990s and the crystallization of new subjectivities that are linked to shifts--some tectonic--in the region's legal, political, and moral geographies over the last ten years. Of particular interest are the links between law, political reform, violence, and the performance of new moral identities.
