Decoloniality and (alternative) rights narratives. Human Rights

Leticia Garroni Moreira Franco

This is a reflection on human rights from a decolonial perspective. We start from the decolonial perspective of knowledge, as an epistemological turn away from the idea that we are Europe's intellectual and cultural colony. Based on this, we analyze the historical construction of Modernity, which began with the invasion of European peoples on the American continent and is marked by the colonialities of power, knowledge and being, resulting in the concealment of diversity throughout Modernity. With this, it is possible to demonstrate the influences of colonialities in the production of International Law, more specifically in what we call Human Rights; launching some reflections on the concept of Human Rights, in order to evaluate the influence of the power structure and knowledge structure established in the modern/colonial world-system on Human Rights. Finally, intercultural dialog is proposed, through diatopic hermeneutics, as an alternative to the hegemonic discourse of Human Rights.
