Abstract:
Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale has recently made its way back into popular culture andmedia. This is a consequence of the streaming service Hulu launching a web television series basedon the novel. The protagonist, Ofred, plays a crucial role in both tellings of the story, but thatrole shifts depending on the medium. Within the novel, Ofred lacks the characteristics of a hero,demonstrating complacency in her tortured position. Meanwhile, the Ofred of the Hulu series is arebel, an empowered woman who refuses oppression. These intentional portrayals of Ofred speakto the inevitable distinctions between visual and written storytelling.

Abstract:
George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most pervasively influential books of the twentieth century. Many previous researchers have explored its profound themes and cultural implications. Starting from a different perspective, this thesis approaches the story in the light of anti-heroism. By analyzing the image of Big Brother and the protagonist, the anti-heroic spirit shown in the transformations of the protagonist presents the glory of humanity under the pressure of totalitarianism. The suffering of the protagonist especially when he is under arrest shows readers how humanity will be tortured by totalitarianism in a world which is dominated by traditional heroism. Orwell expresses his comprehending of the freedom and concern for the future of mankind and gives his answer about hero and freedom after a close reading. A true hero is not the one who maintains the leadership of the party, but a man with independent thought, identifying the beauty and ugliness. And the right of freedom is the freedom of ideology on the basis of history.

Abstract:
Existentialism in Indian English Novel has its roots in western philosophy. Since our civilization has been heading towards westernization, and the life of man has been tending towards modernization. It has become inevitable for man to ask himself who he is and what his relation is to the physical and social world. The modern Indian is surrounded by the forces which are commanded and controlled by existentialist dilemmas. Modern fictional hero is a split-personality or a tortured individual through whose mind the novelist points out the social or national or human conditions. Modern heroes are not only emotionally wronged but also shaken at the existential level. The problems of existence are too wide to be managed by the modern man. The modern novel portrays outsiders, foreigners, who are empty in feelings, or incapable of communication, or unable to relate themselves meaningfully to the surroundings. Thus modern’s fiction in English reflects modern human predicament; life surrounded by forces of anxiety.

Abstract:
The Argentinean pianist Miguel Angel Estrella was arrested in Montevideo during Operation Condor in December 1977. Accused of being a member of the Montoneros, a Peronist guerilla movement, he was tortured and held incommunicado before being transferred to Libertad, where political prisoners from Uruguay were assembled. Thanks to an intensive and international solidarity campaign, launched by his friends in Paris and led by classical music celebrities as well as diplomats, human rights activists, and a myriad of anonymous music-lovers, Estrella was released and expelled to France in February 1980. Drawing on archival materials from the Estrella support committee, diplomatic files, interviews, and recently declassified documents from the Uruguayan military court, this article retraces the construction of an exceptional “cause,” shedding new light on the relations between music and diplomacy during the Cold War. It examines the musician’s experience in prison, where he painfully managed to play Beethoven sonatas on a silent piano, as if mirroring the media’s portrayal of him as a Beethovian hero, a sort of modern Florestan. It also analyzes the connections between ethics and aesthetics, and the role of emotions in international political mobilizations.

Abstract:
This article explains how the concepts of Biopolitics and homo sacer contribute to the understanding of what happened in the Villa Grimaldi concentration camp and torture center during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, in Chile. Prisoners were humiliated and tortured, losing their condition as subjects of law. The reification process of the prisoners by sadist guards and agents was added to the impossibility of the victims to legally defend themselves in front of tribunals. The archaic Roman law figure of homo saceris perfectly applicable to explain the situation of the persons kept in clandestine concentration camps as Villa Grimaldi. The notion of superstes tormentorum (survivor of tortures) is also presented here for further discussion in order to refer to the complex and often painful process in which the ‘victims-survivors-witnesses’ of the horror of Villa Grimaldi and other similar spaces try to reinsert in society.

Abstract:
ImportanceDespite its prohibition by the United Nations Convention against Torture and other international treaties, torture has been perpetrated against countless individuals worldwide, and health care practitioners globally are increasingly encountering refugee torture survivors in their clinical practices. The methods, geographic distribution, and frequency of torture globally are not well described, which limits health care practitioners’ ability to adequately diagnose and treat the sequelae of torture.ObjectiveTo rank the commonness of torture methods and identify the regions of the world with which they are associated.Data SourcesFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were searched from inception to July 2021.Study SelectionIncluded studies were peer-reviewed articles in English, contained an independent sample population of individuals who experienced torture, and outlined the type(s) of torture experienced. Excluded studies were not peer reviewed, lacked an independent sample population, or did not specify torture methods. Articles were chosen for inclusion by 2 independent and blinded reviewers, and a third, independent reviewer resolved discrepancies. Overall, 266 articles—15.3% of the 1739 studies initially identified for full review—met the inclusion criteria.Data Extraction and SynthesisData abstraction and quality assessment followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data were extracted by 2 independent and blinded reviewers into predefined templates, and a third, independent reviewer resolved discrepancies. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Downs and Black Checklist.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTorture methods were ranked by their average frequencies, numbers of reporting studies, and numbers of countries wherein the methods occurred.ResultsA total of 9937 titles and abstracts were screened, and 266 studies encompassing 103 604 individuals (13 350 men, 5610 women, and 84 644 unspecified) were analyzed. Torture was reported for 105 countries; 21 methods accounted for 84% of all reported methods and 10 methods accounted for 78% of all physical tortures. The top 3 methods were beating or blunt-force trauma (reported in 208 studies and 59 countries; average frequency, 62.4%; 95% CI, 57.7%-67.1%), electrical torture (reported in 114 studies and 28 countries; average frequency, 17.2%; 95% CI, 15.0%-19.4%), and starvation or dehydration (reported in 65 studies in 26 countries; average frequency, 12.7%; 95% CI, 10.2%-15.2%). According to the Downs and Black appraisal tool, 50 studies were rated as good or excellent and 216 as fair or poor.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this study suggest that torture remains widespread. Although innumerable torture methods exist, a limited number account for the vast majority of reported tortures. So that targeted therapies may be developed, additional investigation is needed to better elucidate the sequelae associated with the most common torture methods, described here.

Abstract:
This year, 2021, marks the 200th anniversary of the revolution led by Tudor Vladimirescu. It also commemorates two centuries since his assassination. To evoke the formation of Tudor Vladimirescu, I used a little-known document - the moral testament of the master (jupan) Gheorghe Duncea. The act is important because he knew the bailiff Tudor Vladimirescu throughout his life, from childhood to death. This document specified the year of Tudor's birth, the place of birth, the way he learned to read and write, his connection with Horia from Albac, the leader of the Transylvanian peasant uprising of 1784, the reception of the first small boyars ranks, his training as a soldier in the Russian army during the Russo-Turkish war between 1806-1812. Then the Russian generals appreciated him, and the tsar decorated him with the Order of St. Vladimir, gave him a ring and promoted him to the military rank of lieutenant (parucic). After the war, between June and December 1814 he went to Vienna to solve the affairs of the late Elenco Glogoveanu. Then he met the atmosphere of the capital of the Habsburg Empire. His main goal was to fight for the removal of the Greeks from the leadership of Wallachia and eventually Moldova. He arrived in Bucharest again in November 1820. Then he contacted the great boyars who ruled the country. The Greek hospodar of Wallachia Alexandru Suţu was old and ill. On January 15/27, 1821, Alexandru Suţu died. Three of the great boyars, members of the Filiki Eteria, Grigore Brâncoveanu, Ghica, Văcărescu, asked him to start the revolution in Oltenia. Tudor Vladimirescu had been trained for a long time. He left for the north of Oltenia and in four days he reached the great Tismana monastery. From there he summoned his paramilitary force, the Pandurs, and called the people to battle. This is where I must end my communication. There remains only one point that Gheorghe Duncea's will clarifies. He recorded what his nephew, his son-in-law, Captain Bosoancă, told him. He said that being disguised, he went to see what was happening to Tudor Vladimirescu. This is how he saw that Tudor Vladimirescu was seized by a group of the Eteria and taken to the outskirts of Târgoviște. There he was tortured and killed, his stomach was split with a javelin, then ripped out with a suction cup. In memory of the great hero of the Romanian people, a beautiful stone monument was erected on the field from Padeş after the project of the architect State Baloşin.

Abstract:
Russian leaders first tried to poison him, then unlawfully imprisoned him, and now are publicly torturing him. His enemies see him as an illegitimate pretender to the Russian throne. His fans are captivated by his ability to survive assassinations and withstand torture. I was among those who nominated Alexey Navalny for the Nobel Peace Prize. Though he has not received it, this failure exposes meaningful though underappreciated truths about Russia and about the world. My story will leap back and forward between Navalny’s individual actions, the peculiarities of Putinism, and global issues of neoliberal governance.

Abstract:
Torture, understood as a relationship of domination in which one person breaks the will and impedes the self-determination of another human being, taking control of all aspects of the victims’ life and trying to change the core elements of their identity to the perpetrator’s interests (Pérez-Sales, 2017), will increasingly come to be linked to new technologies, artificial intelligence, the use of media and internet, and to new forms of lethal and non-lethalweapons. The author reviews the implications of modern technology for the contemporary fight against torture and some of the emerging civil society initiatives that aim to face them.

Abstract:
Abstract: During Indonesia’s “New Order” (1966–98), torture became systematic. Here we present the initial findings from the Indonesia Torture Mapping (IndoTorM) dataset project, which attempts to bring together various testimonial accounts to map the spread of torture during the regime. We present initial findings on physical, sexual, and mental torture. We show how particular forms of torture were more commonly used against men, women, or children and examine the stability of these patterns across regions and over time. We argue that the patterns of torture revealed show a high degree of consistency in how severe pain and suffering was inflicted on victims during the length of the New Order. Drawing on psychological insights into how groups normalize harmful acts, such consistency indicates that the regime’s torture was not random but, rather, that it was likely learned and reinforced normative behavior. It also highlights potential areas of inconsistency or contestation.

AbstractIn this chapter, we look at the experiences of SOGI minorities who are claiming asylum or who have reached the end of the asylum process in relation to health, work and education. We define these three spheres broadly, including, for example, volunteering and impacts from having experienced sexual violence torture, as well as sex work. Ostensibly, LGBTIQ+ asylum claimants experience the same difficulties in applying for work and accessing health and education as most other asylum claimants. In reality, this is not always the case. Here, referring back to our theoretical underpinnings, including intersectionality, highlights some particular areas of need, in many cases relating to the discrimination they encounter on the basis of SOGI in addition to other characteristics. As with the previous chapter, we again show that SOGI minorities encounter particular problems outside the legal asylum process as well as within it.

Abstract:
Abstract “There must be mercy in Asia”: It seems likely that in “Montrachet-le-Jar din,” published a month after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Stevens addressed the nation he now thought of as an enemy. But “Montrachet” is more profoundly marked by a wartime consciousness of an enemy in its call for the poet to speak simply “of good in the voice of men.” Just a few years earlier, in “Idiom of the Hero,” a disdainful Stevens had pronounced that “The great men will not be blended” with the weak; now the simple act of speaking humanly of human things is to “equate the root-man and the super-man, The root-man swarming, tortured by his mass, he super-man friseured, possessing and possessed.” As we have seen, the war allowed Stevens to feel that a generation’s will is a healthy thing, and these lines reveal him attempting to smooth the class-bound tensions that once marked his work.

This chapter discusses Article 9 of the Convention against Torture, covering the chronology of draft texts, analysis of Working Group discussions, and issues of interpretation. Articles 4 to 9 aim at avoiding safe havens for torturers by requiring State parties to criminalize torture (Article 4) and to establish different types of jurisdiction for the criminal offence of torture, including universal jurisdiction on the basis of the principle aut dedere aut judicare (Articles 5(2) and 7), as well as by obliging the forum State, i.e. any State party on the territory of which a suspected torturer is present, to take him or her into custody, carry out a preliminary inquiry of the facts and to proceed either to prosecution or extradition (Articles 6 and 7). These principle obligations are facilitated by requiring State parties to afford each other the greatest measure of mutual judicial assistance (Article 9).

Abstract:
Abstract Torture invariably appears on the “never” list of the “forbiddens” of human politics. Genocide tops that list but torture follows close behind. There are good reasons for this. Brutal regimes historically, like Stalin’s Soviet Union and Hitler’s Nazi Germany, used torture as a routine dimension of the state apparatus. Enemies or alleged enemies of those two evil regimes were often tortured for the sadistic pleasure of it—not to get useful information. For torture was used primarily against internal foes of the regime. Torture was also widespread in Argentina at the time of its so-called dirty war in the late 1970s—before the restoration of constitutionalism in 1982. In my discussions with the “Mothers of the Disappeared” who had lost children to the military juntas, torture was listed as the most horrible thing imaginable that their children had suffered prior to their outright killing. One mother of three “disappeared” told me that she couldn’t bear the thought that her children’s last memories on earth were of being tortured. That final image of another human being torturing you, and doing so with sadistic pleasure, prior to taking your last breath, was too much for her to bear. Her health broke, and she never recovered either her health or her faith in humanity.

As distinct from ‘judicial’ torture, which was carried out by the Athenian polis in order to investigate some matter of public interest, what is primarily at issue here is what Gagarin calls ‘evidentiary’ torture, which was used by parties in a private dispute, by agreement and always on a slave, for the purpose of verifying a statement of one party or the other.

Abstract The twenty poems included in this chapter represent the words of women and men in solitude, speaking to themselves, to their own hearts, to the moon; sighing out their desires, regrets, and memories into the blank, lonely night. The first seven poems are spoken by women and are quite straightforward in expression and meaning. The remaining poems are all spoken by men (the commentators occasionally remark that these poems are either “spoken by the hero to his own heart, or alternatively, to a male confidante” or to a travelling com¬ panion. Poems 13.8 and 13.9 are the words of men who are totally undone by the artifices and charms of their lovers. Poems 13.10 and 13-11, the first a Prakritgatha, the second a Tamil poem from Kur.untokai, reflect the heroes’ befuddlement at finding their lovers bold by night, but shy or indifferent by day. Poems 13.12-13.18 are all heroes’ recollections-either tortured or fond, sometimes both--of past sexual pleasures, of returning to their homes to embraces after long journeys, and of acutely painful moments of parting. Poem 13 .19 is a man’s soliloquy about his lover’s growing indifference, and the final poem, from the Tamil anthology Kur.untokai, is an outburst of despair set in the marutam landscape, that of horrible quarreling and infidelity after marriage. According to U. Ve. Caminataiyar, the spealcer has been consorting with other women, and he speaks this poem to his own heart but within earshot of his wife.

This chapter discusses Article 6 of the Convention against Torture, covering the chronology of draft texts, analysis of Working Group discussions, and issues of interpretation. Articles 6 to 9 are closely linked to the obligation of States parties under Article 5 to establish jurisdiction over the offence of torture in accordance with the territoriality, flag, nationality, and universal jurisdiction principles. Most of the procedural safeguards provided for in Article 6 are fairly self-evident. If the suspected torturer is present in the territory of the State which initiates criminal proceedings, its authorities shall take him or her into custody or take other legal measures to ensure his or her presence. After taking the necessary measures to ensure the presence of the suspected torturer, the criminal investigation authorities shall make a preliminary inquiry into the facts and report the findings of such an inquiry to other States which may be interested or obliged under the Convention to exercise jurisdiction.

Abstract:
The chapter moves to outline forms of torture documented historically, and how torture (in its narrowest definitional sense) is documented. This primarily considers two substantial works: Torture and Democracy by Darius Rejali, and This Side of Silence by Tobias Kelly. It outlines physical inflictions such as electrotorture, waterboarding, prolonged bath submersion and near-drowning, prodding, beating, induced stress positions and tortures such as noise, light and mock execution. Importantly, Rejali’s work has been fundamental in exploring the silencing effects of ‘clean’ torture – that is, torture which is inflicted in more subtle ways through stealth that become difficult or impossible to physically evidence. As Kelly went on to highlight, this has significant implications for survivors of torture who are seeking asylum, as well as obtaining justice for their subjections, since evidence is diminished and thus so is the burden of proof. From this, we look at the forms of torture identified by practitioners working with survivors of torture and/or sexualized violence. This chapter broadens the scope of practitioner narratives included to draw correlations between forms of violence documented as torture, and those which are not. The latter part of this chapter shifts focus to look at the consequences and impacts of torture. It is important to highlight the complex specificities of these impacts here, so we can later draw correlations and distinctions in other chapters, as we then shift away from narrow definitions and towards the conceptualization of torturous violence in a broader and more experiential sense.
