In the decades following, Canadian jurisprudence has emphasised the importance of rights, determining their shape and asserting their centrality to legal ideas about what Canada represents. At the same time, an increasing number of Canadian novels have also engaged with the language of human rights and civil liberties, reflecting, like their counterparts in law, the possibilities of rights and the failure of their protection. In A Culture of Rights, Benjamin Authers reads novels by authors including Joy Kogawa, Margaret Atwood, Timothy Findley, and Jeanette Armstrong alongside legal texts and key constitutional rights cases, arguing for the need for a more complex, interdisciplinary understanding of the sources of rights in Canada and elsewhere. He suggests that, at present, even when rights are violated, popular insistence on Canada's rights-driven society remains. Despite the limited scope of our rights, and the deferral of more substantive rights protections to some projected, ideal Canada, we remain keen to promote ourselves as members of an entirely just society."--Benjamin AuthersLiteraturverzeichnis: Seite 169-181Canada / Canadian Charter of Rights and FreedomsCanadian fiction / History and criticismLaw and literature / CanadaLaw in literatureHuman rights in literatureCivil rights in literaturePolitics in literatureLegal literature / Canada / History / 20th centuryCanada / In literatureKanadaLiteraturPolitikRechtTextMenschenrecht <Motiv>BürgerrechtGeschichte 1900-2000|PR9189.7|PS8101.L3917.8717.9318.0786.1086.09GBV862938279978-1-4426-3187-8978-1-4426-2579-21442625791HT02080396646611EEO14622021020420210324EEO1462rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DEEO1462 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1094413 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1094413/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1094413
