Remembering the exchange that ocurred on this list a little while ago
on the subject of Human Rights I thought some might find this essay
interesting:
Asad, T. 2000 "What Do Human Rights Do? An Anthropological Enquiry"
Theory & Event 4:4
I found it while browsing the Project Muse journal database. It is not
really anthropological at all, rather, it begins to trace human rights
as event.
Cheerio,
Glen.
