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

在叙利亚武装冲突中，在敌对政权的包围下，库尔德人领导的叙利亚北部和东部自治行政当局(AANES)正在进行一场非同寻常的女权主义人权分配。罗爪哇的妇女激励了全球的女权主义者，因为她们在建立新社会和发展人权框架方面发挥了关键作用，这是民主自治(民主自组织)开创性试验的一部分。罗瓦夫的民主实验、妇女在其中的角色以及用白话表达人权话语的概念是另一种跨国政治想象的非同寻常的例子，它提供了关于殖民时代的社区、人权、性别主体性以及伦理和政治的新的和创新的思维方式。REPAIR试图批判性地审查知识资源和政治想象力，这些资源和政治想象力为AANE的白话人权框架提供了信息。此外，它对这一白话人权框架、全球人权项目和妇女活动家在实现反殖民和女权主义人权愿景方面的作用之间的关系进行了理论分析。Repair致力于转移人权话语的认识中心，在我们的视野内提升关于来自全球南方的本土政治、人权概念和做法的知识生产过程。这包括将我们的重点转移到国家及其制度形式的视野之外，并提供关于人权的说明，以人权规定的核心--交叉的性别主体性关系、自我创造和行动主义为中心。这个项目的独创性在于它探索了Rojava如何为改变人权提供替代的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.
