A human rights law perspective on sensory experience and dignity in detention

Research output: Digital or non-textual outputs › Blog Post

Abstract

It is widely recognised that human dignity is bound up with embodiment, and that dignity violations are socially-embedded experiences. Besides the ways the sensory can play a key role in the distress and harm that certain circumstances can occasion, sensory experience can also form part of actual and symbolic communication of a person’s perceived exclusion from the human community.
