Full textJunot Diaz employs a variety of postmodernist literary strategies in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, such as conflating (and confusing) the role (and identity) of author and narrator, creating a parallel fictional (and semi-fictional) subtext in the form of numerous, often detailed footnotes, and incorporating a hybrid mixture of discourses throughout a self-referential, apparently self-undermining narrative. Yet by means of his persistent satirical tone, pervasive irony, occasional explicit commentary, and thematic inferences, Diaz simultaneously challenges the core tenets of postmodernist-poststructuralist theory. Diaz's creative concerns interrogate the notion of constructed histories, reestablish distinctions within binaries, and defy the poststructuralist prohibition against grand narratives, while contesting the postmodernist tendency toward moral and cultural relativism. Diaz appears to be consciously inviting a poststructuralist reading, even as he simultaneously undermines any possibility for such a theoretical analysis ever succeeding in fully coming to terms with his work. In effect, Diaz redirects the lens of the postmodernist-poststructuralist perspective back on itself, questioning its basic assumptions. Diaz creates a unique, innovative literary language in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, borrowing tropes from Dominican folklore and popular superstition, mixing in idioms and memes from sci-fi, horror, fantasy, Japanese animes and North American movies, television serials, comic books, hip-hop, and urban diction, in order to tell a story that reawakens repressed memories of historical trauma, and enhances awareness of egregious contemporary injustice. Diaz focuses on the devastating trajectory of the imperialist enterprise in the Western hemisphere since 1492, highlighting the rapacious ideology that ruthlessly engenders this ongoing project of exploitation, domination, and oppression. In setting private aggrandizement above collective wellbeing, the imperial mentality causes incalculable, completely unnecessary suffering, beginning with genocide against the native population, and extending into the extreme social disparities of the neoliberal present; the predatory practices of this avaricious agenda have become so destructive that they now threaten the very survival of the human species. Ruthless greed is the curse that afflicts us; the only possible counter spell that can save us will be a courageous return to instinctive solidarity, with timely recourse to the healing power of human love.

Full textRätten till hälsa uppfattas av de flesta som en självklarhet och en rättighet. I min studie har jag undersökt den rättigheten med hjälp av FN:s deklaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna som belyser tydligt människans lika värde, att rättigheterna skall gälla alla och att ingen får diskrimineras. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om rätten till hälsa är en mänsklig rättighet oavsett bakgrund. Studien genomfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie. Fem artiklar ingick i urvalet och analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att det finns samhälleliga och individuella faktorer som styr rätten till hälsa. Det är inte en självklarhet och inte heller en absolut rättighet. Ojämlikhet är ett faktum och socioekonomi, utbildning, och etnicitet har stor påverkan på hälsan och vem som har tillgång till god vård. Samhälleliga faktorer är betydelsefulla och spelar en viktig roll, ex: tilldelning av resurser, prioriteringar etc. Slutsatsen blir: Rätten till hälsa styrs av vem du är och var du bor och regeringarna, som är ansvariga för tillämpningen av FN:s deklaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna, sviker en stor grupp i samhället

Partindo de uma perspectiva lingüística de análise do discurso, esta pesquisa investiga a situação dos direitos humanos no Brasil, focalizando os direitos da mulher, em relação à discriminação de gênero e à violência doméstica. Documentos descritivos e normativos do assunto foram publicados por instituições governamentais internacionais e nacionais e também por instituições não-governamentais como movimentos feministas. Entretanto, poucos estudos foram realizados para investigar esses documentos e desvendar as realidades representadas. Considerando o exposto, analiso um dos capítulos do 'Relatório da Situação dos Direitos Humanos no Brasil', elaborado em 1997 pela OEA, intitulado 'Os Direitos Humanos da Mulher no Brasil'. Desenvolvo esta pesquisa baseando meus objetivos na perspectiva do discurso de Fairclough e de Halliday, na qual as identidades e hierarquias sociais são criadas e mantidas através do discurso entre os membros da sociedade. Utilizo a teoria e método da Lingüística Sistêmica Funcional de Halliday para analisar os processos de transitividade que ocorrem no objeto de estudo, para obter as respostas às perguntas da pesquisa. Com este procedimento, a análise revela que as mulheres são representadas como vítimas das violações aos seus direitos humanos, assim como responsáveis por algumas dessas violações e, ao mesmo tempo, ocupam uma posição de submissão na sociedade. Esta pesquisa representa uma contribuição na busca de soluções que possam ajudar a atenuar o problema.

Full textGOAL: Firstly, this work intended to re-signify human rights, by interpreting freedom and equality from existentialism philosophy grounds, in a way that is sensitive to the existential essence of man; meaning that freedom and equality could be translated in authenticity and concern for others. Secondly, the present work intended to analyze the role of literature in promoting human rights, by its educational capacity, and of effecting these rights, by allowing the experience of freedom, authenticity and recognition into the life of those who come into contact with it. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The present work is strictly theoretical research. The material corresponds to the bibliography read principally under the hermeneutical method. We had no intention of going through the entire work of any specific author, but to accomplish a selective approach of the authors and their work, in terms of their contribution to the theme and perspective here adopted. The proposed theme raises an interdisciplinary approach which many times can find itself at the frontier between human rights, philosophy and literature. For this reason it has been necessary to examine the bibliography in a manner that allows a harmonious connection between the ideas brought by the texts, only possible by means of a creative and dialogical approach. Thus, theoretical and literary texts could dialogue and validate themselves mutually. CONCLUSIONS: We could conclude that literature acts by its way of being as an event and experience that is incorporated in the existence of writers and readers, as a way: (i) of understanding the world and building authentic personality and human ethics; (ii) of discourse and dialogue with another and with tradition, by the fusion of horizons and sharing of world views. Therefore, literature plays an important role in forming personality, ethics and the way of being of individuals, so that people are able to be-in- the-world and share it in an authentic manner, by allowing the comprehension and understanding of human rights in a familiar way, which makes sense in their existence.

Full textIn the HIV prevention field, most part of the emissions are dedicated as seronegative people that appear in programs and researches as synonymous of all. The notion of Positive Prevention produced within the scope of the Brazilian response, conversely, considered that PLWHA also need single preventive care. This thesis proposes to examine the scientific production that describes positive prevention interventions as well as their possible contributions for the response to HIV/AIDS epidemic, analyzed from an informed perspective by the vulnerability and human rights framework, which made possible the production of single notion about the positive prevention throughout the 3rd epidemics decade. For this purpose, was used as a research method, a scoping review that allowed synthesizing knowledge about positive prevention interventions available in the chosen databases (CINAHL, ERIC, Lilacs, MedLine, PsycInf, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar). Of the 700 recovered articles, were selected 15 articles based on the search criteria. Among other discoveries, the studies confirmed the understanding that, historically, HIV prevention has been in the socio-behavorial field. Not by accident, the interventions focused almost entirely on preventing HIV transmissions and controlling the epidemic, not on the well-being of people living with HIV. Was discussed that interventions available in the literature, despite the expected innovation named as positive prevention, support the same priority in protecting HIV negative people from being infected by their HIV positive partners and miss the opportunity to innovate existing programs, from the moment that they dont consider the distinct contexts of social vulnerability and programmatic action that exclude markers of inequality (such as class or gender) and the projects of each person living with HIV in their daily lives and personal vulnerability. We defend the higher productivity of a conception that [10] overcome this model that blames the PLWHA and the overlapping of stigmas they face in order to strengthen the notion of solidarity and shared prevention carried out in interventions of positive prevention defined by integral health care and the defense and promotion of the Human Rights of people affected by AIDS

Full textThe philosophical underpinnings of what may be called the meta-dimension of the law of human dignity trigger a question that surpasses the boundaries of the discipline of law: how could the transcendental as an aspect of human dignity meaning be portrayed? The insistence on non-determination of the Menschenbild [human image] or ‘God’ in the Preamble to the German Basic Law [Grundgesetz] reflected in German legal doctrine, paired with the commitment to case-by-case ad hoc concretization of what human dignity means inspire this story of ‘something missing’. In postmodern fashion, this story portrays the law of human dignity as a Trojan Horse and provides hermeneutic and literary foundations for an affirmative stance towards ‘emptiness’ talk in legal discourse. The research question rekindles and twists polemically framed ‘emptiness’ and ‘black box’ contentions: Why does the legal concept of human dignity appear ‘empty’? Or, how is it ‘empty’? Why and how is it a ‘black box’? How do manifestations of the concept appear abstract as universals and concrete as particulars? The ontological, linguistic-analytical, and phenomenological philosophical insights presented in Chapter One compose the lens through which five benchmark Bundesverfassungsgericht cases – on abortion, life imprisonment, transsexuals, state response to terrorist attacks, and the guarantee of a dignified subsistence minimum – are analyzed in Chapter Two. The philosophical sources are not bracketed as moments in the long course of human dignity in the history of ideas.

Disertacijos tikslas – ištirti, ar valstybės suverenitetas ir žmogaus teisės yra (ne)suderinami vienas su kitu Lietuvos nacionalinės žmogaus teisių politikos formavimo kontekste. Siekiant užsibrėžto tikslo analizuojamas Lietuvos žmogaus teisių politikos formavimosi kontekstas, jį įtakojantys veiksniai, nacionalinė žmogaus teisių teisinė bazė, keturiolika Vyriausybės programų per žmogaus teisių prizmę. Atliekant tyrimą naudojama teisės aktų ir dokumentų analizė, pusiau struktūruotas kokybinis interviu, taip pat palyginamoji analizė. Empiriniai tyrimo duomenys rodo, kad Lietuvos politika žmogaus teisių atžvilgiu yra fragmentiška, stokojanti integralumo, tolygaus dėmesio visoms žmogaus teisėms ir joje stipriai išreikšta socialinė, ekonominė dimensija. Tokios politikos kontekste žmogaus teisių ir valstybės suvereniteto tarpusavio sąryšis vertintinas nevienareikšmiškai. Viena vertus, išorinis suverenitetas yra suderinamas su žmogaus teisėmis; jie papildo vienas kitą. Tuo tarpu vidaus politikoje valstybės interesų viršenybė individo atžvilgiu sudaro prielaidas teigti, kad žmogaus teisės nėra suderinamos su vidiniu... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Full textThis thesis is about Turkish accession to the European Union and criteria to be fulfilled in order to become a member state. At Helsinki summit there were defined four main areas, that are the main obstacles of Turkish membership in the structures of EU – military influence in domestic politics, economy disproportions, the issues of minorities living in Turkey and problems with obeying human rights and fundamental freedoms. In addition the attitude among European countries and Turkish political elites has changed dramatically since 1999. There is a great discussion, whose main purpose is, to show if Turkey should or shouldn’t become a part of united Europe. With the help of created conceptual framework, which is empirically based on qualitative methods and with theoretical approach in form of analysis considering human rights, I have developed a set of three hypotheses, that are based on primary and secondary sources like EU, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International reports considering changes of Turkish attitude to the question of human rights. In the process of testing validity or invalidity of those hypotheses, I have tried to conclude, why the implication of reforms considering human is the main obstacle of Turkish membership in the EU.

Full textDerechos Humanos y democracia son, hoy, elementos inseparables de la realidad política. sin embargo, entre ambas nociones existen diferencias de origen y de función las que, eventualmente pueden plantear tensiones y dificultades, sobre todo cuando se pretende atribuir al “principio de la mayoría” potestades ilimitadas, que incluyen la determinación y configuración, incluso peyorativa, de los derechos fundamentales. Este riesgo proviene de adoptar una concepción meramente “formal” o “procedimental” de la democracia, por lo que se hace necesario afirmar una noción “sustancial” de esta, en la cual se reconozca a los derechos fundamentales. Por un lado, como un límite al poder estatal, cualquiera que sea la fuente de legitimación de este, y, por otro lado, como ingredientes indispensables para el ejercicio libre de los derechos políticos en los quese sustenta la democracia.

Full textUppsatsen jämför det figurativa språket i Bob Dylans skivor The Times They Are A-Changin’ (1964) och Highway 61 Revisited (1965), med ett fokus på hur Dylan fortsatte vara engagerad inom samhällsfrågor och mänskliga rättigheter när han gick över från akustisk solomusik till att leda ett rockband. Uppsatsen argumenterar för att Dylan behöll sin kritiska syn på samhällsfrågor, och att poetens användning av figurativt språk blev mer expressivt och komplext i det senare albumet. I det tidigare albumet är Dylans kritik, som den framstår i hans användning av figurativt språk, presenterad mer direkt i jämförelse med Highway 61 Revisited, där det figurativa språket är mer levande och innehåller en mer förtäckt kritik.

Full textThe purpose with this dissertation is to study the Intersex phenomenon in South Africa, meaning the interplay between the dual sex and gender norms in society. Hence, the treatment by some medical institutions and the view of some non-medical institutions upon this ‘treatment’, have been studied in relation to the Intersex infant’s human rights and citizenship rights. The thesis has moreover also investigated how young Intersex children are included/excluded and mentioned/not mentioned within South Africa’s legal system and within UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Furthermore, because Intersex children are viewed as ‘different’ on two accounts – their status as infants and born with an atypical congenital physical sexual differentiation, the thesis’ theoretical framework looks at the phenomenon from three perspectives – ‘the politics of difference’, human rights, and citizenship rights directed towards infants. The theoretical frameworks have been used to ask questions in relation to the empirical data, i.e. look at how the Intersex infants are ‘treated’ in relation to their status as ‘different’; and also in relation to the concept of being recognized, respected and allowed to partake in deciding whether to impose surgery or not. Moreover, what ‘treatment’ serves the best interest of the Intersex child? This has been done through semi structured interviews.
In conclusion, some of the dissertation’s most important features are that since the South African society, like many other societies, strongly live by the belief that there are only two sexes and genders, this implies that Intersex infants do not fit in and become walking pathologies who must be ‘fixed’ to become ‘normal’. Moreover, since most genital corrective surgeries are imposed without being medically or surgically necessary, and are generally imposed before the age of consent (18), the children concerned, are generally not asked for their opinion regarding the surgery. Lastly because early corrective surgery can have devastating life lasting consequences, this ultimately means that the child’s human rights and citizenship rights are of a concern. These conclusions do however not ignore the consequences one has to endure for the price of being ‘different’.

in different political contexts during the period 1998-2010 is evaluated with reference to three areas of literature on the idea of human rights and with a social constructionist perspective which begins with the proposition that ideas and practices concerning human rights are created by people in particular historical, social, and economic circumstances. The different conceptualizations of legitimation of the idea of human rights, the shifting representations of the idea of human rights as civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights and the varying constructions of domestic human rights language amongst local and universal claims in respect of human rights within different political contexts is explored. In this framework, the research design of the study is envisioned to evaluate these issues in the context of &lsquo

Full texts thought became prevalent. The thesis questions this easy alliance between Nietzsche and radical attacks to human rights thought. In the first chapter, I first provided a brief historical overview of the idea of human rights. Then, I had a closer look towards the principles of universality, equality, autonomy and is-ought distinction with special reference to Kantian formulations of these concepts and in the second chapter, I elaborate Nietzsche&rsquo
s perception of these same principles and our understanding of conventional morality in general, to reach an articulated answer to the question: Would Nietzsche be categorically against human rights? I conclude that his philosophical attitude to these four principles differ from each other. In this context the thesis regards Nietzschean informal structures over the Kantian formal ones as complementary for a full grasp of the idea of human rights by offering a connection of the transitionality between Kant and Nietzsche.
