- 요약In this dissertation, I define documents of urgency as works which bear witness to grave injustice and demand an immediate response. I examine three of the most compelling examples of such works from the period shortly after World War II: Rodolfo Walsh's Operacion Masacre (1957), Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time (1963). Because each of these works documents an unfolding situation, I read them chronistically, in relation to their real, temporally bound circumstances, as well as comparatively, for the themes and problems they share. I show the methods the writers use to depict the situations they are confronting, and I highlight how they tread in despair while providing a possibility that conditions might improve-if and only if action is taken. In each close reading, an authorial voice with high personal stakes in the matter comes to terms with grave injustice. These works take us into hell and back, pointing us toward a future worth fighting for. They are also paradoxical in their longevity: despite calling for urgent response to temporally specific injustices, these texts have continued to attract passionate interest long after their production. The final section of each chapter foregrounds related documentary films which renew the call for action in response to latter-day or lingering injustices. In a time that is consistently represented as one of chronic and ongoing crises, this dissertation offers a study of how hopeful interventions work.
