Download or read book Ren Cassin and Human Rights written by Jay Winter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the life of one extraordinary man, this biography reveals what the term human rights meant to the men and women who endured two world wars, and how this major political and intellectual movement ultimately inspired and enshrined the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. René Cassin was a man of his generation, committed to moving from war to peace through international law, and whose work won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1968. His life crossed all the major events of the first seventy years of the twentieth century, and illustrates the hopes, aspirations, failures and achievements of an entire generation. It shows how today's human rights regimes emerged from the First World War as a pacifist response to that catastrophe and how, after 1945, human rights became a way to go beyond the dangers of absolute state sovereignty, helping to create today's European project.

Download or read book At Translation s Edge written by Nataša Durovicova and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, the field of Translation Studies has entered into dialogue with an array of other disciplines, sustaining a close but contentious relationship with literary translation. At Translation’s Edge expands this interdisciplinary dialogue by taking up questions of translation across sub-fields and within disciplines, including film and media studies, comparative literature, history, and education among others. For the contributors to this volume, translation is understood in its most expansive, transdisciplinary sense: translation as exchange, migration, and mobility, including cross-cultural communication and media circulation. Whether exploring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or silent film intertitles, this volume brings together the work of scholars aiming to address the edges of Translation Studies while engaging with major and minor languages, colonial and post-colonial studies, feminism and disability studies, and theories of globalization and empire.
Download or read book The Great War and the Origins of Humanitarianism 1918 1924 written by Bruno Cabanes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aftermath of the Great War brought the most troubled peacetime the world had ever seen. Survivors of the war were not only the soldiers who fought, the wounded in mind and body. They were also the stateless, the children who suffered war's consequences, and later the victims of the great Russian famine of 1921 to 1923. Before the phrases 'universal human rights' and 'non-governmental organization' even existed, five remarkable men and women - René Cassin and Albert Thomas from France, Fridtjof Nansen from Norway, Herbert Hoover from the US and Eglantyne Jebb from Britain - understood that a new type of transnational organization was needed to face problems that respected no national boundaries or rivalries. Bruno Cabanes, a pioneer in the study of the aftermath of war, shows, through his vivid and revelatory history of individuals, organizations, and nations in crisis, how and when the right to human dignity first became inalienable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secrets of the UDA: United Dwarf Alliance is a new and inventive science fiction tetralogy based on the nine Dwarf Clans and the current uprising of evil. The date is 1001 a.u. and the evil Verlod have been attempting to grab their place in history by perverting the minds of Dwarfs. Their master is Archbishop Haridan, the leader of the Monastery of Fordosheol, and the most feared figure in the known world. Young Delko is naive and foolish. His playful frame of mind has long gotten him into trouble. He is unaware that greatness has been hunting him down. He is about to be chosen as the next Advocate and will find himself in an adventure he never would have chosen. He will learn the ways of magic, the Sword of Truth, and that he must defend the future of the United Dwarf Alliance. The lives of every Dwarf, Elf, and Druid will be changed ... but evil has another plan. William Jarema is a native Michigander who lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has been a priest for 30 years and is the founder/director of the Mercy Center, a holistic place of healing.
Download or read book Human Rights in the Twentieth Century written by Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has there always been an inalienable 'right to have rights' as part of the human condition, as Hannah Arendt famously argued? The contributions to this volume examine how human rights came to define the bounds of universal morality in the course of the political crises and conflicts of the twentieth century. Although human rights are often viewed as a self-evident outcome of this history, the essays collected here make clear that human rights are a relatively recent invention that emerged in contingent and contradictory ways. Focusing on specific instances of their assertion or violation during the past century, this volume analyzes the place of human rights in various arenas of global politics, providing an alternative framework for understanding the political and legal dilemmas that these conflicts presented. In doing so, this volume captures the state of the art in a field that historians have only recently begun to explore.
