Across an inwisible Line: A Conwersation about Music and Torture

摘要

From the moment the use of music as a component of physical and psychological torture at U.S.-run detention centers, such as those in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, was brought to light, it has been a topic of discussion in both academic circles and the popular press. Conferences devoted to the topic of music and torture have taken place at the Human Rights Project at Bard College in New York State (2009), the Hebbel-am-Ufer in Berlin, Germany (2010), and La Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona, Spain (2010).
