The invisibilities of political torture : the presence of absence in US and Chilean cinema and television / Berenike Jung. - Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, 2022. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white).

By casting a wider net on the definition of torture, the author promotes a radical, theoretical reframing of our concept of torture and suggests that audiovisual products can help broaden our comprehension of torture as an event which includes collective and emotional dimensions and long-term social effects.
