The resurgence of torture and public justifications of it led to the central questions which this inter-disciplinary volume seeks to address: How is it possible for torture to be practised when it is legally prohibited? What kinds of moves do agents make which render torture palatable? Why do so many ignore the evidence that torture is ineffective as an intelligence-gathering technique? Who are the victims of torture? The various contributors in the book look to history, the practices of interrogators, artistic representations, documentary films, rendition policies, political campaigns, diplomatic discourses, international legal rules, refugee practices, and cultural representations of death and the body to illuminate how torture becomes permissible. Building from the personal to the communal, and from the practical to the conceptual, the volume reflects the multivalence of torture itself. This framework enables readers at all levels better appreciate how and why torture is open to so many interpretations and applications. This book will be of much interest to students of International Relations, Security Studies, Terrorism Studies, Ethics, and International Legal Studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Torture. 650 0 $a Torture (International law) 650 0 $a Security, International. 650 7 $a Security, International. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110895 650 7 $a Torture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152956 650 7 $a Torture (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152968 700 1 $a Cox, Rory, $d 1982- $e editor. 700 1 $a Donnelly, Faye, $e editor. 700 1 $a Lang, Anthony F., $d 1968- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Contesting torture $d New York : Routledge, 2022 $z 9780429343445 $w (DLC) 2022017008 830 0 $a Contemporary security studies 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51DF1DAA2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
