![]() ![]() For this reason, debates on human rights, political asylum, and democracy, as embedded within the realm of politics, aesthetics, and ethics will be discussed, whilst questioning the very meaning of these three realms. ![]() Inspired by Jacques Rancière’s thinking ‘in-between’ disciplines (a term which he establishes as ‘indisciplinarity’ (2007:101)), I contend that social studies are affected by the specialisation of knowledge within well-delimited disciplinary frameworks. Attempting to go beyond the potentially narrow economy of thought of only one discipline, this dissertation draws upon a staging of enquiries and arguments which stem from social and political theory, international relations, legal theory, and philosophy, proposing a new distribution of the thinkable. Human rights have historically been enshrined in a plethora of theories derived from the tradition of analytic philosophy. ![]()
