Descrizione

It is difficult to imagine making claims for human rights without using images.<br>For better or worse, images of protest, evidence and assertion are the lingua<br>franca of struggles for justice today. And they seem to come in a flood, more<br>and more, day and night. But through what channels does the torrent pass?<br><i>The Flood of Rights</i> examines the pathways through which these images and<br>ideas circulate routes that do not merely enable, but actually shape humanrights<br>claims and their conceptual background. What are the technologies and<br>languages that structure the global distribution of humanism and universalism,<br>and how do they leave their mark on these ideas themselves? Which narratives<br>and imageries have proven easier to export and import, and whose interests<br>are at stake? Contributions by 14 artists, curators and academics make up this<br>important reader, including Thomas Keenan, David Levine, Hito Steyerl and<br>TIrdad Zolghadr, among others.<br><br><br><br>Contributions by: Amanda Beech, Rony Brauman, David Campbell, Olivia Custer, Rosalyn Deutsche, Thomas Keenan, Eric Kluitenberg, David Levine, Suhail Malik, Sohrab Mohebbi, Sharon Sliwinski, Hito Steyerl, Bernard Stiegler, Tirdad Zolghadr — Testi: Keenan Thomas, Zolghadr Tirdad et al. pagg. 248; 75 COL e 4 BN; rileg. rigida.
