Book, Pluriverse of Human Rights Diversity Struggles for Dignity[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Human rights can only be redefined based on answers to simple questions: Why is there so much unjust human suffering that is not considered a violation of human rights? What other languages of human dignity exist in the world? Are these other languages compatible or not with the language of human rights? These questions can only be answered satisfactorily if we can imagine a radical transformation of what we now recognize as human rights.. This volume brings together 21 texts that portray the dialogue of researchers from all continents, who confront us with themes and social realities that invite us to think about the place of human rights in the struggles against capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy.. Through the texts gathered here, a multiverse of languages, geographies and bodies in struggle appear in the pages of this book, showing how much the hegemonic, North-centric conception of human rights is currently at an impasse as a language for the emancipatory transformation of societies.
