Making Rights Claims: A Practice of Democratic Citizenship
Zivi, Karen (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, University of Richmond)
Is the act of rights claiming a form of political contestation that advances democracy? Rather than simply taking a side for or against rights claiming, Making Rights Claims argues that understanding and assessing the relationship between rights and democracy requires a new approach to the study of rights. Zivi combines insights from speech act theory with recent developments in democratic and feminist thought to develop a theory of the performativity ofrights claiming.
