讲座介绍
人权、平等、自由等话语在第二次世界大战后被大幅度地重构,已经不符合人们通常所接受的西方思想传播到世界各地的那种陈述。这一重构是发生在国际舞台上的思想争夺所导致的必然结果,其中“民族自治”被历史性地写入联合国的人权公约就是重要的一例。本讲座的内容深入联合国的早期档案,围绕联大缔造人权公约前后的地缘政治,重新思考普遍主义的跨语际构成。
The discourse of human rights, equality, and freedom was radically transformed in the aftermath of World War II. It is no longer a story of global dissemination of “Western” ideas to the rest of the world, as is commonly believed. Rather, it is the outcome of a struggle over ideas on the world stage. Take the historic inclusion of the right to self-determination in the human rights covenants at the UN. This talk is closely based on the early UN archives and is intended to rethink the translingual making of universalism in the postwar era.
