FOR 5321: Human Rights Discourse in Migration Societies (MeDiMi)

这一跨学科研究项目的主题是确定在当代移民社会中扩大人权讨论的范围、形式和后果。MeDiMi的初步观察是，这些社会中的行为者经常以话语的方式提及人权规范，以表达他们自己的形象以及他们的利益。该项目将这一进程描述为“人权的进步”（Vermenschenrechtlichung;字面意思是“人权化”）MeDiMi在三个背景下追踪移徙话语中人权的进步。这些背景包括法律的制度、政治行动领域以及其他专业和日常社会文化背景，移徙社会中的行为者在这些背景下表达和形成了对自我的看法和态度。法律的分析，社会科学研究和十个选定领域的文化研究将提供移民社会的话语实践理论的实证基础。这将使我们能够对人权在当代社会，特别是欧洲社会中的作用有新的认识。

The subject of this interdisciplinary research project is to determine the scope, forms and consequences of the expansion of human rights discourse in contemporary migration societies. MeDiMi’s starting observation is that actors in these societies often refer to human rights norms discursively to articulate images of themselves as well as their interests. The project describes this process as "the advance of human rights" (Vermenschenrechtlichung; literally, “human-rightization”).MeDiMi traces the advance of human rights in migration discourse in three contexts. These contexts include the legal system, areas of political action, as well as other professional and everyday socio-cultural contexts in which perceptions of self and the attitudes of actors within migration societies are expressed and formed. Legal analysis, social-science research and cultural studies of ten selected fields will provide the empirical basis for a theory of discursive practice in migration societies. This will enable us to achieve a new understanding of the role of human rights in contemporary societies, especially European ones.
