SOCI 836 - Culture,Communication,Rights:Inter-Asian Translations

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Nguyet Erni. This course attempts to explore this question: in the (re)turn to both distributive and recognition justice, how will cultural studies and communication critically articulate with human rights as a global professional, interdisciplinary, and humanitarian practice In this course, we shall consider the conditions of possibility, theoretically as well as strategically, for overcoming the apparent non-correspondence between culture/communication and rights, or between culture/communication and the law. Special attention will be made to the rigorous development of cultural studies in the "inter-Asian" context over the past dozen years. The contested particularisms associated with inter-Asia with respect to the study of rights will raise crucial questions about the geopolitics of the circulation of rights discourse in global terms.
