Unutar i izvan nove globalne zajednice. Diskurs ljudskih prava u Japanu i drugdje
Inside and Outside the New Global Community. Human Rights Discourse in Japan and Beyond

Summary/Abstract: Issues surrounding the “ownership” of human rights discourse are examined in relation to the variety of ways in which this discourse is utilized. It is argued that the instrumentalist language of human rights discourse skeletonizes social reality, while creating interpretive communities and opening up spaces for the dispossessed. To the extent that the discourse enables the creation of a symbolic community, it leads at the same time to the exclusion of some people through the boundary drawing process.
