| Summary: | This essay addresses human trafficking and its challenges for Diaconia. It analyzes concepts of agency, victimization, and visibility in light of the secrecy that trafficking entails, focusing particularly on the open use of bodies as it contrasts with the hiddenness of the stories of those affected by it. The paper asks the following questions: how can there be agency if the subjects are supposed to be simultaneously visible and invisible? How can stories of exploitation and abuse go beyond victimization? How can human trafficking be addressed by Diaconia if it remains a hidden subject? |
