- Direitos humanos e democracia: problemas, tendências e desafiosPublication . Jacquinet, Marc; Caetano, João RelvãoOs direitos humanos funcionam tipicamente como um teste à democracia como regime político. É certo que que há regimes autocráticos que reconhecem a categoria dos direitos humanos, como é o caso da China, mas de forma assaz imperfeita, porque não consideram os direitos, liberdades e garantias individuais.
- O retrocesso dos direitos humanos e a questão das desigualdades sociais, políticas e económicasPublication . Jacquinet, Marc; Nhaueleque, LauraO presente simpósio abrange três questões relativas aos direitos humanos no alvor de mundos novos: (1) assistimos a um retrocesso dos direitos humanos, nos diferentes continentes, e em que medida e com que variantes regionais?; (2) qual é a importância da evolução dos desigualdades sociais, políticas e económicas nas últimas décadas para a questão dos direitos humanos?; e (3) que evolução concretas podemos identificar no sul global e nos países ocidentais?
- The role of regional systems of human rights in contemporary societies: psycho-politics, bio-politics and identity economics in the process of creation of eco-consciousnessPublication . Duarte, Rogério; Jacquinet, Marc; Câmara, CatarinaHuman Rights, as an ideal, immaterial and abstract, and as a living force, mobilising and driving social change, fuelling disciplinary and geographical border crossing and fostering horizon expansion, is object of contestation. Its dark side connects to white supremacy patriarchy domination that perpetuates the North-South divide, exclusion and inequality, within nations, between nations, and across the globe, following a fractal theory and a chaos theory pattern of alienation, denial and self-reinforcement. Its illuminating side connects to the power of the basis, of real life populations, of bio-politics, and to the reversion of oppressive psycho-politics through effective life experiences of superation, of transformation, of discovery and of bewilderment that lie at the core of co-creation of new social realities. It is critical to acknowledge this double faced reality of Human Rights, the two faces of the coin, the critical dialectic perspective that acknowledges the simultaneously active and mutually reinforcing polarity of the opposing forces of destruction, self-destruction, the destruction of the ecosystems and of the conditions that enable life on planet Earth, as opposed to the birth pains or the growth pains of breaking of the shell and the changing of the skin that comes with life, life as it is lived, by real life individuals, communities and populations, century after century.
- Emerging boundaries of human rights, conviviality, and social science of globalization: critiques in search of new dynamicsPublication . Jacquinet, Marc; Bussotti, Luca; Nhaueleque, LauraThe panel deals with three interrelated issues – even if their commonness does not seem that obvious – of the current transformations of global societies and social sciences across very diverse geographical areas around the globe: human rights, conviviality (Caillé) and the issue of the “global” in social sciences. Each subject is contested. Each has reached a “frontier” and the debate turns around the question of regress or new ways of expansion. So, the question is what are the dynamics of new phenomena that try to cross the frontier.
