Description

The concept of nonpersons has long fascinated scholars and thinkers. In "Absentees On Variously Missing Persons", Daniel Heller-Roazen explores this idea in depth, examining how individuals become nonpersons through disappearance, disenfranchisement, or other forms of exclusion. Through a range of examples from literature, philosophy, law, and anthropology, Heller-Roazen challenges the categories that define nonpersons. He considers topics such as exclusion, infamy, mortuary beliefs, and the lives of those lacking full personhood. By uncovering figurations of the missing in fiction, he sheds new light on the complexities of human absence. This book offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of human existence, inviting readers to consider the ways in which we define and understand nonpersons.
