Ancient Greek tragedies are underpinned by discontinuities between human nomos and a more binding dike. Comedies often depend upon justice: the braggart being exposed and shamed, the overly-witty being humbled, the self-assured being rattled. Love plots, too, mobilize justice - as when a true lover suddenly shines, causing a false one to evaporate. The list goes on. When literature gives voice to the marginalized, when it destabilizes power-structures, when it creates imaginary alternatives, when it denaturalizes norms or exposes oppression, the experiences that go into its writing, reading, and interpreting are framed by justice. Conversely, when literature cooperates with the limiting of others, when it belittles oppression, deepens stigmatization, offers entertaining escapism when more committed agency is called for, its shortcomings are failures in relation to justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Justice in literature. 650 0 $a Ethics in literature. 650 0 $a Mercy in literature. 650 0 $a Social justice in literature. 650 0 $a Literature and morals. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781351608497 830 0 $a New literary theory. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505015731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=394E66745D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
