Articles 5, 18 and 19 from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provide grounds for heated debate when their validity is tested in the continuum called pornography. Impossible to define, through its open-endedness pornography lends itself to virtually all kinds of interpretations and practices and thus also critical positions in discourses. Because pornography has probably never been politically correct, it lets not only disturbing and problematic aspects surface, it also has considerable subversive powers.
In this seminar, we will seek to explore these tensions, caused when questioning the role of human rights in pornography, from violator to liberator.
