Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights
What is CCHR?Which cultural factors are shaping citizenship in Europe today? Utrecht University’s research focus area Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights (CCHR) brings together first-rate scholars from the Humanities, Law and Governance, and the Social Sciences who have a common concern with identifying these factors. Detailed information on CCHR can be found here (pdf).Interaction of law and culture.Citizenship is established in a public arena where law and culture interact. It offers a forum where diverging values encounter each other, and where culture influences the way human rights are constituted both locally and globally. Who belongs? Who is protected by the law? Whose voice counts? These issues are subject to renegotiation and redefinition using both cultural and legal resources.Inclusive and resilient societies,The CCHR researchers at Utrecht University jointly aim to enlarge our insight into the convergence, but also the tensions between the cultural and the legal foundations of citizenship. This is vital to the understanding of inclusive and resilient societies. Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights (CCHR) relates closely to Utrecht University’s strategic theme Institutions. CCHR is a continuation of the previous research focus areas Cultures & Identities and Conflicts & Human Rights.Qualitative research,CCHR has a distinctive emphasis on qualitative methods and an interpretational approach to the social and cultural world. We approach citizenship as an essentially contested, gendered and raced concept. Individuals are not primarily seen as behaving according to structures, formal organisations and patterned regulations. Instead, they are understood as actors who create meaning through agency, contestation, and materialisation. Such actor-based and artefact-based analyses enable the development of historical and cross-cultural comparisons of ideas, practices and objects.
研究领域二:文化、公民和人权
什么是CCHR?哪些文化因素正在欧洲塑造公民身份?乌得勒支大学的研究重点文化、公民与人权(CCHR)汇聚了人文,法律与治理以及社会科学界一流人士,他们共同关心确定这些因素。法律与文化的相互作用,公民身份在法律和文化相互作用的公共场所建立。它提供了一个论坛,分歧的价值观相遇,文化影响了当地和全球人权的构成。谁属于 谁受法律保护?谁的声音计数?这些问题需要使用文化和法律资源进行重新谈判和重新定义。包容性和弹性社会乌克兰大学的CCHR研究人员共同致力于扩大我们对融合的洞察力,也是扩大文化与公民法治基础之间的紧张关系。这对于理解包容性和有弹性的社会至关重要。文化,公民和人权(CCHR)与乌得勒支大学的战略主题机构密切相关。CCHR是以前研究重点领域文化与认同与冲突与人权的延续。定性研究,人权委员会特别强调对社会和文化世界的定性方法和解释性方法。我们以公民身份作为一个本质上有争议的,性别化的和有争议的概念。个人并不主要根据结构,正式组织和图案规定进行行为。相反,他们被理解为通过机构,竞争和物质化创造意义的演员。这种以演员为基础和以文物为基础的分析使得能够发展对思想,实践和对象的历史和跨文化比较。
