Human Rights and the Body is a response to the crisis in human
rights, to the very real concern that without a secure foundation
for the concept of human rights, their very existence is
threatened. While there has been consideration of the discourses of
human rights and the way in which the body is written upon,
research in linguistics has not yet been fully brought to bear on
either human rights or the body. Drawing on legal concepts and
aspects of the law of human rights, Mooney aims to provide a
universally defensible set of human rights and a foundation, or
rather a frame, for them. She argues that the proper frames for
human rights are firstly the human body, seen as an index reliant
on the natural world, secondly the globe and finally, language.
These three frames generate rights to food, water, sleep and
shelter, environmental protection and a right against
dehumanization. This book is essential reading for researchers and
graduate students in the fields of human rights and semiotics of
law.
