Workshop: Rights and Their Translation into Practice: Toward a Synthetic Framework

这两套相互关联的讲习班旨在促进人权的理论化，并确定和评价人权的数量和质量指标。它将确定关于法律权利如何作为资源运作、将书本上的权利转化为社会实践所涉及的行动者以及这种转化发生的社会机制的有希望的调查路线。这些潜在的新研究方向集中在权利话语和框架策略在权利翻译过程中的作用，科学和技术专长在这一过程中所起的作用，以及与同一领域相关的案件律师的运作。这些研讨会还将促进在这一共享知识领域工作的学者——人类学家、经济学家、政治学家、社会学家和法律学者之间的新合作。

This set of two inter-related workshops is designed to advance theorizing about human rights as well as identify and evaluate quantitative and qualitative indicators of human rights. It will identify promising lines of inquiry regarding how legal rights operate as resources, the actors involved in translating rights on the books into social practice, and the social mechanisms through which such translation occurs. These potential new research directions focus on the role of rights discourse and framing strategies in the rights' translation process, the role played by scientific and technical expertise in that process, and the operation of cause lawyering in relation to this same domain.The workshops will also foster new collaborations among scholars -- anthropologists, economists, political scientists, sociologists, and legal scholars -- working in this shared intellectual area.
