Asia, Enforceable Benevolence and the Future of Human Rights
What happens to human rights discourse in Asia will be of critical importance to the future of the whole human rights project. There are at least three possible scenarios: acceptance, rejection and transformation. Majority western opinion hopes for the first but expects the second. This article argues for the third, transformation. Central to the argument is the construction of an ideal type - enforceable benevolence - of a distinctively Asian hu…

Human Rights and the Challenge of Cosmopolitanism
The article outlines the diverse willed and unwilled developments which have attenuated international human rights discourse so that it still cannot be used to hold governments to account for their failures to respect the economic and social rights of their citizens. These developments range from geopolitical manoeuvres, through changed modes of enunciation (that is, the displacement of political theory by law as the source of human rights langua…
The Visual in Social Theory
The distinction between understanding sight as a natural faculty - vision - and understanding it as an historical and social construct - visuality - has had significant impact in the visual arts. Not so in social theory where, notwithstanding the efforts of the classical theorists, the practical scientific necessity of privileging visuality over vision has been lost. The Visual in Social Theory argues that, because of its uncritical use of terms …
Globalisation, Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia
Anthony Woodiwiss's pathbreaking book was the first substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights. In it, he takes up the question of whether so-called Asian values are compatible with human rights discourse and argues against human rights issues being the major obstacle to East-West co-operation. Dr Woodiwiss's sociological and post-structuralist approach to the concept of rights, and his incorporation of the transnational dimension in…

Behind governmentality
Against 'modernity
In the course of a critical analysis of some of the writings of Jurgen Habermas, Anthony Giddens,uart Hall, Steven Crook et al. and Zygmunt Bauman, the paper arugues that the term ‘modernity’ should have no place in the general sociological vocabulary. This is for three main reasons. First, having only recently ralzed that the term ‘captitalism’ hadn been allowed too wide a referent, it is a huge mistake to embrace as a substitue an equally over-…

Law, Labour and Society in Japan
Law, Labour and Society in Japan
Japanese trade unions are generally considered to be rather weak and their co-operative relationship with employers has been a major factor contributing to Japanese economic success. Paradoxically, Japanese labour law has hitherto been viewed as relatively pro-union and there has thus seemed to be a gap between unions' theoretical powers and their use of these powers. Anthony Woodiwiss traces the development of Japanese labour law from the middle…

The discourses of production (part I)∗
This part develops the author's previous effort to produce a Marxist theorisation of the role of legal discourse in democratic capitalist societies that properly acknowledges its ‘relative autonomy’. The paper proceeds by way of a critique of earlier efforts to theorise the non-economic dimensions of productions. It ends with an attempt to theorise the discursive dimension of production so that the effects of the law in the production process may…

Introduction PART ONE: FINDING SOCIAL MODERNISM New Deal Figurations The Society that Would be Modern A Modernizing Discourse Social Modernism and Class Relations PART TWO: FORGETTING SOCIAL MODERNISM The Return of the Referents The Vietnam War, Protest and Class Relations The Discourse of Forgetfulness Social (Post)modernism and Class Relations Conclusion
Social Theory After Postmodernism
This work sets out and exemplifies a new approach to social theory. While departing radically from classical Marxist thought, it directly engages with many of the most important issues in contemporary social and political theory, and offers a way forward for a new and revitalized Marxist tradition. Social Theory After Postmodernism returns to the same concern with that marked the work of the classical sociological theorists, and which has been ne…
