Описание:
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been called one of the most powerful documents in human history. Today, the mere accusation of violations of the rights outlined in this document cows political leaders and riles the international community. Yet as a nonbinding document with no mechanism for enforcement, it holds almost no legal authority. Indeed, since its adoption, the Declaration's authority has been portrayed not as legal or political but as moral. Rather than providing a set of rules to follow or laws to obey, it represents a set of standards against which the world's societies are measured. It has achieved a level of rhetorical power and influence unlike anything else in modern world politics, becoming the foundational myth of the human rights project. Seeing the Myth in Human Rights presents an interdisciplinary investigation into the role of mythmaking in the creation and propagation of the Universal Declaration. Pushing beyond conventional understandings of myth, which tend to view such narratives as vehicles either for the spreading of particular religious dogmas or for the spreading of erroneous, even duplicitous, discourses, Jenna Reinbold mobilizes a robust body of scholarship within the field of religious studies to help us appreciate myth as a mode of human labor designed to generate meaning, solidarity, and order. This usage does not merely parallel today's scholarship on myth; it dovetails in unexpected ways with a burgeoning body of scholarship on the origin and function of contemporary human rights, and it puts the field of religious studies into conversation with the fields of political philosophy, critical legal studies, and human rights historiography. For Reinbold, myth is a phenomenon that is not merely germane to the exploration of specific religious narratives but is key to a broader understanding of the nature of political authority in the modern world.
Описание: The author argues that evangelical religion represents the ideological heart of American culture, in that the inherent logic of its religious ideas has underpinned (and/or buttressed) a good many aggressive promotions and defenses of American society, domestic and international, throughout our history. The evangelical worldview and ethos are grounded in two basic idioms: a dualistic vision cleaving the elements of society into neat, separate Christian and secular categories, and the "moral market" imperatives of an implicit individualistic system of eth-ics, the two merging to form a matrix of symbols and expectations--a cultural logic, if you will--which is then applied in the identification, apprehension, and evaluation of persons, objects, relationships, and societies. The first shares much with "natural" tribal or "pre-literate" religions and was present in the early Christian church and other Western religions; the second emerged from uniquely-American cultural developments. He then ranges beyond evangelicalism itself to claim that both occupy the centerpiece of a peculiarly American personality, that which most clearly distinguishes Americans and their society from our closest European social and cultural ancestors and kin; both reside at the heart of a slew of persistent internal "cultural contradictions." These general observations emerged from the study of an actual evangelical academic community, Seattle Pacific University, located way out in the Pacific Northwest of America. The particular form and expression of these idioms in the day-to-day attitudes and behavior of its students and faculty offer valuable, highly-representative insights into the meaning and significance of evangelicalism in American life. Indeed, the subjects of the authors fieldwork prove as exotic at times to Western eyes as would the inhabitants of any tropical South Pacific island, and they receive as thoroughly anthropological an examination. All this captured and accounted for by an innovative, ground-breaking hybrid form of social science. In a long appendix B, the author takes the sociology of religion to task for decades of bankrupt assumptions and research, decrying an apologetics that has corrupted traditional Weberian notions of value-free social science. Foremost among these biases is a seemingly universally-embraced guiding dogma which uncritically assumes that Christianity can only perform a positive role in any society; and that the so-called "godless" Scandinavian societies -whose quality-of-life indicators put the war-of-all-against-all American social nightmare to shame-may be overlooked or dismissed as pseudo-socialistic sleights-of-hand. The author demonstrates that it is the decades- and centuries-long cultural vacuum of American society that has produced a plethora of existential social, economic, and cultural insecurities that evangelicalism thrives upon. In this regard, as Luigi Barzini once both lamented and celebrated about his fellow Italians, we Americans are very much "alone in the world." Observe here the crazy old aunt of evangelicalism getting dragged down from the attic and cast out into the open, exposed to the light of day for the first time. In a second extended bonus appendix for academicians, the author tacks his 95 theses of Paradise Joes onto the Wittenberg door of a deeply compromised American sociology of religion.

Описание:
In Christian Human Rights, Samuel Moyn asserts that the rise of human rights after World War II was prefigured and inspired by a defense of the dignity of the human person that first arose in Christian churches and religious thought in the years just prior to the outbreak of the war. The Roman Catholic Church and transatlantic Protestant circles dominated the public discussion of the new principles in what became the last European golden age for the Christian faith. At the same time, West European governments after World War II, particularly in the ascendant Christian Democratic parties, became more tolerant of public expressions of religious piety. Human rights rose to public prominence in the space opened up by these dual developments of the early Cold War. Moyn argues that human dignity became central to Christian political discourse as early as 1937. Pius XII's wartime Christmas addresses announced the basic idea of universal human rights as a principle of world, and not merely state, order. By focusing on the 1930s and 1940s, Moyn demonstrates how the language of human rights was separated from the secular heritage of the French Revolution and put to use by postwar democracies governed by Christian parties, which reinvented them to impose moral constraints on individuals, support conservative family structures, and preserve existing social hierarchies. The book ends with a provocative chapter that traces contemporary European struggles to assimilate Muslim immigrants to the continent's legacy of Christian human rights.
