Aankondiging voor publiek debat nav de workshop over media - communicatie- en informatierecht die deze week voor advocaten, activisten en academici in de balie plaatsvond. Voertaal: ENGELS ________________________________________________________________ A N N O U N C E M E N T Public Debate: The New Rights Talk: Turning Media into a Human Right? "The proper place for justice is the courtroom, not the TV screen." - concerned British citizen, 2000 An evening with American Activist-Scholars with info-graphics about media and rights De Balie - Centre for Culture and Politics Thursday, June 24, 20.00 hrs http://www.debalie.nl Reservations: 020 - 553 51 00 Part of All-American Issues: Stories from the Homeland, the series co-produced by de Balie Centre for Culture and Politics and the Govcom.org Foundation, Amsterdam, with support from the Ford Foundation, New York. Global issues hit the homeland. Finally, there are issues from abroad to awaken the U.S. The U.S.A is normally one of greatest exporters of social issues. Indeed, for many people globalisation is Americanization. But now the U.S. is witnessing its activist-scholars importing issues and movements. The World Social Forum is coming to North America, and with it come the issue lists. Shipping in the issues these days may provide new opportunities for rights talk, because the U.S. always has been adept at turning issues into rights. "Communication Rights," "Cultural Rights," "Information Rights" and "Media Justice" are among the new coinages. But who are the bearers of these rights? Normally subjects seek rights. But are rights seeking subjects? And what are the costs of turning issues into rights? Media Rights for all What if we make the digital divide into 'Internet rights'? Can we expand free speech to 'communication rights'? Will plurality of voices and diversity of viewpoints make way for 'media justice'? When we say 'cultural rights', can we really mean that groups have rights? Do 'information rights' imply a Freedom of Information Act for all?
