Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. An interpretation of human rights that centers on the rhetoricaland religiouspower of testimony.Jeremy Bentham described the idea of human rights as rhetorical nonsense. In Reimagining Human Rights, William ONeill shows that the rhetorical aspect of human rights is in fact crucial. By examining how victims and their advocates embrace the rhetoric of human rights to tell their stories, he presents an interpretation of human rights from below, showing what victims of atrocity and advocates do with rights. Drawing on African writings that center around victims storiesincluding Desmond Tutus on the Truth and Reconciliation Commissionand modern Roman Catholic social teaching, ONeill reconciles the false dichotomy between the individualistic perspective of the human rights theories of Immanuel Kant, Juergen Habermas, and John Rawls and local or ethnocentric conceptions of the common good in Alasdair MacIntyre and Richard Rorty. He shows that the testimony of victims leads us to a new conception of the common good, based on rights as narrative grammarthat is, rights are not only a grammar of dissent against atrocity but let new stories be told.ONeill shows how the rhetoric of human rights can dismantle old narratives of power and advance new ones, reconstructing victims claims, often in a religious key, along the way. He then applies this new approach to three areas: race and mass incarceration in the United States, the politics of immigration and refugee policy, and ecological responsibility and our duties to the next generation. Reimagining Human Rights presents an interpretation of human rights from below, showing how victims of atrocity can embrace the rhetoric of human rights to dismantle old narratives of power and advance new ones.
