WiSe 19/20: Rights and Violation: A Critique of Violence
Ahmet Murat Ayataç, Ruhi Mehmet Demiray
Kommentar
This course explores the controversies of human rights theory with a special emphasis on acts of violation. How could an act of right violation be possible? What are the conditions of possibility of being exalted to the level of human right for an ordinary political or moral demand? Keeping these questions in mind, we will examine main issues of human rights discipline through the use of video lectures, audio-visual files, interactive digital contents, and engaged online discussions. These materials will construct a more complete image of what a “human rights culture” looks like when it is approached from the viewpoint of people suffering from the violence of violations. We will discuss the topics like torture, summary execution, enforced disappearance, religious intolerance, ethnocentrism and cultural discrimination, and violation of the right to equal respect and concern as mainly they are experienced in Turkey and some other countries around the world. In the beginning, we are going to develop a conceptual framework that will support the analysis of the issues under discussion. After this, we will delve into arguments concerning theoretical aspects of concrete problems caused by violations targeting oppressed individuals and groups. Our course goes beyond explaining and analyzing theoretical aspects of controversies by addressing recent efforts of human rights defenders to overcome adverse effects of violations. Schließen
