This book examines the possibility of creating new ways of existing
beyond human rights. Multiple socio-political crises and the
dominance of neoliberal and capitalist policies have led legal and
political theorists to question the emancipatory promise of human
rights and to reconceptualise human rights in theory and practice.
The possibility of creating new ways of existing beyond human
rights has been left significantly under examined, until now.
Having as its starting point the ferocious, yet brief, critique on
human rights of one of the most prominent French philosophers of
the 20th century, Gilles Deleuze, the book argues that Deleuze's
critique is not only compatible with his broader thought but that
it has the potential to give a new impetus to the current critiques
of human rights, within the 'disciplinary borders' of legal and
political theory. The book draws upon Deleuze's broader thought,
but also radical legal and political theory and continental
philosophy. In particular, it investigates and expands on two of
Deleuze's most important notions, namely those of 'immanence' and
'becoming' and their relation to the philosopher's critique of
human rights. In doing so, it argues that these two notions are
capable of questioning the dominant and dogmatic position that
human rights enjoy.
