Recenzii

"This Side of Silence approaches the problem of torture in an unconventional and illuminating way. Human rights scholars and students will relish its clarity and insightfulness. As for human rights campaigners, they will find in it a warning about the inherent limitations of the legal process and thus an invitation to think more deeply and imaginatively about when and how to use legal means in order to oppose the blight of torture and, indeed, other injustices too."-Human Rights Quarterly "This Side of Silence is an engagingly written, thoroughly researched, and brilliantly analyzed account of the rise of torture as one of the dominant legal and moral categories of our time. The meaning and use of the term 'torture' has undergone profound changes, and Tobias Kelly expertly charts how it has been shaped by recent developments in international law and medicine, media representations of the body and suffering, and the vagaries of the politics of human rights since 1945. This Side of Silence is an indispensible and compelling account of the new ethical prioritization of torture that pushes the boundaries of the anthropology of law and human rights and deserves to be read widely."-Richard A. Wilson, Professor of Anthropology and Law and Director of the Human Rights Institute at the University of Connecticut "Where does our sense that torture is wrong come from? When do we find torture established? What harms committed by whom escape our attention and why? Probing the actions of doctors, lawyers, and judges in the UK, Tobias Kelly shows how the denunciation of torture succeeds only in limited circumstances. Ethically disturbing but politically necessary, his original, clear, and excellently informed account is a must-read for anyone interested in the fight against torture and/or the defence of human rights."-Marie-Benedicte Dembour, University of Sussex "This Side of Silence is innovative, thought-provoking, and superbly written, a standout among the plethora of books on torture that have appeared since the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Tobias Kelly analyzes the meaning of torture as a cultural and legal category. He demonstrates empirically, rather than conceptually or theoretically, that torture is 'a notoriously slippery subject' at every step of defining, documenting, diagnosing, recognizing, and prosecuting it."-Antonius C. G. M. Robben, Utrecht University
