Authority Speech In Democracy: A Study From The Relationship Between Education And Human Rights

Abstract

Prepared in an interdisciplinary perspective, the article proposes a theoretical discussion on the interrelationship between human rights education and the practice of human rights. This is a study conducted in a qualitative approach, involving bibliographic research, with emphasis on specific aspects of Foucault's theory. The auctoritas role as authoritarian author of the discourse is questioned, which, in turn, seeks to give the meaning that best suits its subjective ideal of human rights law. For this, the use of historical reconstruction of human rights, which are inseparable from the question of power, is used. From a methodological point of view, the time frame chosen to address the issue will be the first year of the Bolsonaro government in 2019, a context that will receive a critical-scientific approach, thus unveiling human rights as discourse and not just as a norm. In the end, it is concluded that if on the basis of international treaties and conventions there has already been a stabilization of meaning, auctoritas cannot handle the law as a political weapon.
