Plebeian Rights: Theory and Praxis

Descrizione del progetto

Repressione statale del dissenso e diritti dei cittadini a confronto

Dalle «armi non letali» usate in Francia contro i gilet gialli fino alle proteste dei neoliberisti in Cile e ai sostenitori di Black Lives Matter negli USA: sono molti gli esempi di repressione statale contro le esplosioni di dissenso. Il progetto PLEBRIGHTS, finanziato dall’UE, li considera colpi al sottile velo di uguaglianza formale che nasconde forme strutturali di dominazione, le quali si riproducono facilmente in ambienti caratterizzati da diseguaglianze socioeconomiche marcate. Questa azione Marie Skłodowska-Curie mostrerà come i diritti delle persone comuni storicamente abbiano avuto origine nelle relazioni di potere. Il progetto offrirà inoltre una teoria dei diritti politici e socioeconomici che emergono da tale pratica di resistenza del popolo.

Obiettivo

Even before the pandemic hit, it had become clear that democratic regimes around the world are in crisis. While the majority of governments are democratic only in appearance, constitutional rights have been revealed as weak protections against oligarchic states even in OECD member countries —most recently with the brutal repression involving “non-lethal weapons” used in France against the gilet jaunes, in Chile against those protesting neoliberalism, and in the Unites States against Black Lives Matters supporters. These outbursts of dissent and state repression come to puncture the thin veil of formal equality that conceals the structural forms of domination that easily reproduce in environments with high socioeconomic inequality. The dominant liberal theory of rights, grounded on natural equality and abstract principles, has been incapable of properly addressing the limits that material conditions imposed on the equal enjoyment of basic rights. Experiments with socioeconomic rights in South Africa and collective rights in Latin America have begun to push the constitutional boundaries of the liberal conception of rights, and have also revealed the limitations imposed by the main theoretical frameworks. During the fellowship I will write a book that will provide an alternative to the predominant philosophical framework of liberal constitutionalism, in which rights tend to be interpreted as formal and negative, as well as to the communitarian conception of rights. Through a plebeian theoretical framework and an interdisciplinary analysis combining intellectual history, comparative politics, philosophy, and critical legal theory, I will show how the rights of the common people have historically originated in power relations and the juridical protections gained in the popular struggle against oligarchic domination, and offer a theory of political and socioeconomic rights emerging from this plebeian praxis of resistance.
