PSCI 344 - Torture: Pain, Body, and Truth

4 credits
Torture has become a subject of much debate in the post-9/11 world. In this course, we start with this fascination with the subject to historically, philosophically, and conceptually analyze the debates on torture. The aim is to analyze the different dimensions of torture: its existence in different societies, its nature, its relationship with pain and truth, its impact, and finally the control of the state over bodies and lives in modern society.
