Download or read book Making Rights Claims written by Karen Zivi and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 of rights claiming.
