Culture of Terror—Space of Death. Roger Casement's Putumayo Report and the Explanation of Torture

Abstract

This essay is about torture and the culture of terror, which for most of us, including myself, are known only through the words of others. Thus my concern is with the mediation of the culture of terror through narration—and with the problems of writing effectively against terror.
