ENGL/HRTS 241 Literature and Human Rights
Email: Eleni.Coundouriotis@uconn.edu
Eleni Coundouriotis received her BA in English at Georgetown University
and her PhD in Comparative Literature from Columbia University. Before
coming to the University of Connecticut in 1993, she taught for two
years for the Committee on Degrees in Literature at Harvard University.
She has been affiliated with the Human Rights Program at the University
of Connecticut since 2001.
Her research interests are interdisciplinary with a particular focus
on methods of historical narration across different disciplines and
in a comparative context. In Claiming History: Colonialism, Ethnography
and the Novel (1999), Coundouriotis proposes a literary history
for the emergence and development of African fiction in the context
of ethnography, the traditions of European narrative history, and the
colonial encounter. A sustained theme of the book is the role that
violence played in defining the subject matter of the African novel
and the insistence of Africans on the historicist mission of their
fiction. This dual interest in violence and history has shaped her
turn to human rights. Africa remains an important focus of her research.
Currently she is completing a manuscript entitled Humanitarian
Fictions that examines humanitarian agency in nineteenth and
twentieth-century novels from Europe, the US, and Africa. An essay
from this book project is forthcoming in Human Rights Quarterly.
