About the Human Rights: Veridiction in Literary Argumentation

Abstract:

According to the British historian and social philosopher Roman Krznaric, literature constitutes one of the most powerful discourses for the inspiration of emphatic acts. The present work analyzes how the enunciator of the short story “Balas”, by Rafael Gallo, through discursive procedures widely used in literature, constructs a discourse of high veridictory content in defense of the human rights.

Keywords:
veridiction; literature; human rights
