2007 "Juanita/Svetlana/Geeta'
"
Professor Carole Vance, MPh, PhD
Department of Sociomedical Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia
University of New York.
The talk examines important themes in the flood of documentary,
journalism and policy about trafficking into forced prostitution,
and the ways in which culturally
resonant themes about gender, sexuality, innocence, globalization, and sensation
structure narratives about trafficking,to great effect. While electrifying and
mobilizing, these " stories of trafficking" motivate and support interventions
that ignore - rather than support - human rights frameworks. What narrative conventions,
genres, tactics, and subjectivities would inform
alternative ways of telling the story and formulating rights-enhancing
policies?
