Re-making Human Rights: Gender and Self-fashioning in the Political Imaginary of Rojava (REPAIR)

在叙利亚的武装冲突中，在敌对政权的包围下，库尔德人领导的北叙利亚和东叙利亚自治政府（AANES），也被称为罗贾瓦，正在进行一场非同寻常的女权主义人权分配。罗贾瓦的妇女激励了全球的女权主义者，因为她们是构建新社会和发展人权框架的关键角色，作为民主自治（民主自我组织）开创性实验的一部分。罗贾瓦的民主实验，妇女在其中的角色，以及在白话中对人权话语的概念表达，是另一种跨国政治想象的非凡例子，它为思考社区、人权、性别主体性以及殖民时期的伦理和政治提供了新的创新方式。《修复》试图批判性地审视为AANES的本地人权框架提供信息的智力资源和政治想象。此外，它还将这种本地人权框架、全球人权项目和妇女活动家在实现反殖民主义和女权主义人权愿景方面的作用之间的关系理论化。REPAIR致力于改变人权话语的认知中心，通过在我们的视野范围内提升来自全球南方的本地政治，人权概念和实践的知识生产过程。这涉及到将我们的关注点转移到国家及其制度形式的视野之外，并提供一种关于人权的描述，该描述以交叉的性别主体性关系、自我创造和人权提供的核心活动为中心。这个项目的独创性在于探索罗贾瓦如何为改变人权提供另一种女权主义概念词汇和未来。

In the midst of the armed conflict in Syria and surrounded by hostile regimes, an extraordinary feminist human rights dispensation is taking place in the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), also known as Rojava. The women of Rojava have inspired feminists globally, as they have been the key actors in constituting a new society and the development of a human rights-framework as part of a pioneering experiment in democratic autonomy (democratic self-organisation). Rojava's democratic experiment, the role of women within it and the conceptual articulation of human rights discourse in the vernacular is an extraordinary example of an alternative transnational political imaginary which offers new and innovative ways of thinking about community, human rights, and gendered subjectivities as well as ethics and politics in the colonial present. REPAIR seeks to critically examine the intellectual resources and political imaginaries that have informed the vernacular human rights-framework of the AANES. Furthermore, it theorises the relationship between this vernacular human rights-framework, the project of global human rights, and the role of women activists in enabling an anti-colonial and feminist vision of human rights. REPAIR works to shift the epistemic centre of human rights discourse, by elevating within our field of vision processes of knowledge production on the vernacular politics, concepts and practices of human rights from the Global South. This involves shifting our focus beyond the horizon of the state and its institutional form and offer an account of human rights that centres the intersectional gendered subjectivities relations, self-making and activisms at the core of human rights provision. The originality of this project lies in its exploration of how Rojava provides alternative feminist conceptual vocabularies and futures for transforming human rights.
