Full Description
This book bridges international human rights law and literary studies, examining dystopian novels through the lens of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The author analyses classical dystopias and a selection of feminist dystopias, exploring depictions of human rights violations and gender-based discrimination in fiction. The book deconstructs dystopian societies, revealing mechanisms of oppression and highlighting literature's legal and social relevance. Structured like legal commentaries, it offers both theoretical and practical analyses of UDHR provisions. Each article is discussed and interpreted in accordance to the standpoints provided by legal scholars and linked to cases drawn from dystopian literature.
