Programme

The Course is organised in four successive modules. Each module is subdivided into sub-themes aimed at developing and analysing the essential points currently being discussed on the matter.

Module 1 - Legalisation and mobilisation of human rights: normative and institutional approaches
This module focuses on normative and institutional approaches to the legalisation and mobilisation of human rights.

Module 2 - Historical, discursive and post-colonial perspectives of human rights
This module will focus on the discussion of some critical readings of the normative approach and the historical, discursive and post-colonial perspectives of human rights.

Module 3 - 'Practical' approach to human rights between the global and the local
This module seeks to reflect on the "practical" approaches to human rights and "cultural translation" of human rights norms and discourses "between the global and the local."

Module 4 - Transnational Human Rights Activism and Mobilisation
This module will be devoted to studies on transnational human rights activism and mobilisation, especially in the Latin American context, focusing on a discussion of the concepts of "subaltern cosmopolitan legality," "transnational legal activism," and "strategic litigation," as well as a proposal to analyse the impacts of these forms of mobilisation of the law.
