Stephanie DeGooyer Bücher

    Stephanie DeGooyer erforscht die vielschichtige Beziehung zwischen Recht, Politik und Ästhetik. Ihre Arbeit befasst sich damit, wie visuelle und literarische Formen unser Verständnis und unsere Erfahrung von rechtlichen und politischen Systemen prägen. DeGooyer untersucht, wie Ästhetik unsere Vorstellung von Demokratie beeinflusst und wie sich dieses dynamische Zusammenspiel ständig weiterentwickelt.

      Five leading thinkers on the concept of ‘rights’ in an era of rightlessness Sixty years ago, the political theorist Hannah Arendt, an exiled Jew deprived of her German citizenship, observed that before people can enjoy any of the “inalienable” Rights of Man—before there can be any specific rights to education, work, voting, and so on—there must first be such a thing as “the right to have rights.” The concept received little attention at the time, but in our age of mass deportations, Muslim bans, refugee crises, and extra-state war, the phrase has become the center of a crucial and lively debate. Here five leading thinkers from varied disciplines—including history, law, politics, and literary studies—discuss the critical basis of rights and the meaning of radical democratic politics today.
