  • A New Universal for Human Rights?

    Domna C StantonCHAPTERRoutledge Companion to Literature…2018

    This chapter examines with ambivalence the status of the universal in the human rights regime and the possibilities for a new universal. It briefly discusses the semantics of the "universal" in human rights documents, whose proliferation since 1948 pluralizes the regime, and its multipronged structure (regional, national, and transnational organizations, as well as civil society).

    L'A. s'interroge ici sur la maniere dont les contextes culturels et sociaux americains et francais vont influencer les manieres de reflechir, de pratiquer et de recevoir l'histoire litteraire. Partant de la constatation des differences d'approches qui existent, dans les deux pays, autour de la question de la litterature et de son traitement critique et theorique, l'A. plaide pour des etudes et des reflexions tenant compte du facteur contextuel, q…
