Synopsis

The book brings together a series of reflections on politics and human rights, whose subject matter and form come primarily from cinema. In dialogue with a set of 11 films, the works gathered here focus on certain European political experiences that allow us to trace a possible path through the history of human rights: the Revolution that devours its children, the pedagogy of pre-war Germany, the decline of Weimar, the Shoah, the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem, the testimony of witnesses on the ruins of the camps, the spectacle of horror, and the erased traces of immigrants in the new scheme of global biopolitics.
