Human rights and other grammars of human dignity
Notwithstanding the abstract universalism of human rights – which stems from disregarding the plurality of conceptions on human dignity- it became the language of progressive politics. Not even the cleavage between principles and practice which escorts human rights discourse challenged its hegemony during the last two decades. Facing this dilemma, we believe that to be of use for a progressive and emancipatory politics, human rights must unfold its Eurocentric profile to intercultural dialogues and encompass other grammars of human dignity. Focusing on four world regions (Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America) ALICE project will explore various conceptions of human dignity, comparing realities present across different regions and scales: local, national and regional.
Below, some contributions to expand the discussion.
