It also considers how Firdaus's experience of her erotic life contravenes notions of privacy, bodily integrity, and consent that are typically associated with liberal political thought accounts for embodiment. This chapter examines the formal properties of Woman at Point Zero and how they probe the appropriate mode and genre for representing human rights violations.
