Article 5.
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (www.un.org)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.
