| Abstract: | The history of rights is full of strange ironies. One of the more intriguing ones is that the language of rights has a weird mimetic quality. If the clerk is the major violator of rights in the twentieth century, the bureaucratic document has become the basic narrative of human rights violations. It is as if filing and defiling have an unconscious kinship. In this copy-book picture of reality, rights become an indicator. |
