Digital Dignity
This article analyses the uses to which ‘dignity’ is put in regulating and conceptualising our digital era. It considers the example of Europe, and particularly the European Union’s uses of dignity in policy-making and regulatory innovation in the digital context. More generally, it considers the normative scope and significance of dignity as it adapts to novel challenges to agency and vulnerability, and to changing public and private spheres. It…
On Vulnerability, Biopolitics, and Political Struggles
For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic was experienced as a parenthesis in our individual and collective existences. At the same time, this parenthesis ran the affective spectrum from hope to despair, resilience to sorrow. Importantly, one’s socioeconomic background, gender, and race shaped the impact of the pandemic. While some were able to work online from home, others lost their jobs or had to turn to precarious activities. Some countries were …
Medicine, Dissent and the “Chloroquinization” of Truth
This article explores the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil radicalizing Foucault’s notion of governmentality. While dominant scholarship has been interpreting the human tragedy of the outbreak in Brazil in terms of necropolitics and Bolsonaro’s populist rhetoric, the present work highlights other dimensions. It shows that the management of the pandemic was deployed to govern the conduct of the Brazilian population. This article detec…
Human Dignity
For a Right to Health Beyond Biopolitics
We argue, drawing on the work of Didier Fassin, that the right to health can be understood as an essential part of a radical politics of life. Since the right to health implies fostering the well-being of individuals in a way that is structural, progressive and non-discriminatory, the right not only problematises the ‘governmentality’ approach to power but allows push-back against statist and market discourses through a specific phenomenology of …
What Is Orientation in Dignitarian Thinking? Self, Other, Time and Space
Drawing upon Kant’s analysis of the role of intuitions in our orientation towards knowledge, this paper analyses four points of departure in thinking about dignity: self, other, time and space. Each reveals a core area of normative discourse – authenticity in the self, respect for the other, progress through time and authority as the government of space – along with related grounds of resistance to dignity. The paper concludes with a discussion o…
End‐of‐life care decisions for haemodialysis patients – ‘We only tend to have that discussion with them when they start deteriorating’
BACKGROUND: Haemodialysis patients receive very little involvement in their end-of-life care decisions. Issues relating to death and dying are commonly avoided until late in their illness. This study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of doctors and nurses in nephrology for involving haemodialysis patients in end-of-life care decisions. METHODS: A semi-structured qualitative interview study with 15 doctors and five nurses and themat…

Architectures of intergenerational justice
This article draws attention to the constitutive requirements of intergenerational justice and exposes the limitations of regulative arguments based on international human rights law. Intergenerational justice demands constraining the regulative freedom of the international community, and it is tempting to assume that adequate constraints are already contained within existing treaties including international human rights treaties. In fact, interg…

Values in Criminology and Community Justice
The way we think about crime and the way that society responds to it are imbued with values that can determine what is considered important and what gets attention. Sometimes values that are claimed may not be the values expressed in practice, as we see in the multiple and confusing discourses about victims and offenders, punishment and protection, rights and responsibilities. This collection of writings considers values in crime theory, criminal…
Dignity as the Absence of the Bestial
The legal and moral importance of human dignity has obscured the distinctiveness of dignity simpliciter as a behavioural and anthropological phenomenon. Precisely those aristocratic connotations of dignity that appear dissonant within democratic discourse - social elevation, grace, and forbearance - are crucial to understanding how dignity has served to identify the difference between animals and humans. From the taxonomic and symbolic significan…
Human dignity
Is there a stable set of practices or assumptions surrounding dignity, and would these necessarily denote a single foundation sustaining that stability? Two contemporary debates offer contrasting approaches to these questions. In the first, two jurists, who share agreement over the appearances of dignity in post-1945 jurisprudence, disagree as to whether these appearances form an emerging ius commune or a contingent set of conceptions. The second…
Jonathan Power, Conundrums of Humanity
Is Jonathan Power a fox or a hedgehog? 1 With Conundrums of Humanity he has, fox-like, written a book about everything, about the global challenges facing all of humanity. At the same time he sustains a single, hedgehog-like, unifying principle: that human rights should be seen as a complete, and universal, set of normative commitments. After reading this ambitious and complex book, I am left with the feeling that Power is, at heart, a hedgehog, …

Contemporary dialogues with fascist law and jurisprudence
It’s easy to miss the jokes in Kafka. Scholarship and biography have recast Kafka’s stories as self-referential parables of anomie written by a tortured neurotic who did not want to be read. In a cruelly accurate portrayal of how the academic and biographical industries can be a barrier to understanding, Alan Bennett’s play Kafka’s Dick satirises how biographical prurience over Kafka’s life has obscured the fact that he wrote simple stories, stee…

education combined. Universal primary education has been deferred until 2010 due to lack of resources. The health and education systems are crumbling in part because of widespread corruption because teachers and nurses are paid wages which are, by UN definition, below the poverty line. Shifting money from debt service payments to teachers and nurses salaries would dramatically improve education and save lives and promote development

African in the Debt Trap
At the October 1985 meeting in Seoul of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, African delegates insisted that 'the economic situation is the worst in recent history'.Indeed, it is now widely accepted that the states and peoples of sub-Saharan Africa are in the midst of a crisis of unprecedented magnitude that has been caused by both short-term and long-range factors. Domestic food production has been declining, whilst food imports h…

The International Politics of African Debt
This paper assesses the international politics of Africa's growing external indebtedness and the pressures for policy direction that it produces. After the scale and character of the problem has been assessed, the paper looks, first, at the increasingly significant rôle of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) within Africa. The nature of external policy direction is then examined, particular attention being paid to the influential World Bank pol…
