摘要

This article opens with survey results indicating that a majority of professors of undergraduate courses hope to encourage their students to take action for social change and goes on to examine the chances of success when professors assign human rights literature as part of that project. Hope for a positive outcome would appear to be bolstered by psychologists’ experimental findings that under certain conditions fictional texts as well as factual ones can persuade readers to act in favor of justice. However, those findings also point to a second and far more common outcome of reading about injustice. If readers’ exigent requirements for action are not met, they will instead engage in cognitive restructuring of their perspectives on the situation, sufferer, suffering, or themselves. For instance, readers may cease to view the suffering as unjust and remediable, or they may come to see others (rather than themselves) as the appropriate agents of change. Considering the magnitude of the task as well as the academic culture in which literature professors have been prepared, how likely is it that those who hope to use human rights literature to encourage students to take social action will realize that desire?
