{"product_id":"deliberative-acts-arabella-lyon-9780271059747","title":"Deliberative Acts: Democracy, Rhetoric, and Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe twenty-first century is characterized by the global circulation of cultures, norms, representations, discourses, and human rights claims; the arising conflicts require innovative understandings of decision making. \u003ci\u003eDeliberative Acts\u003c\/i\u003e develops a new, cogent theory of performative deliberation. Rather than conceiving deliberation within the familiar frameworks of persuasion, identification, or procedural democracy, it privileges speech acts and bodily enactments that constitute deliberation itself, reorienting deliberative theory toward the initiating moment of recognition, a moment in which interlocutors are positioned in relationship to each other and so may begin to construct a new lifeworld. By approaching human rights not as norms or laws, but as deliberative acts, Lyon conceives rights as relationships among people and as ongoing political and historical projects developing communal norms through global and cross-cultural interactions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arabella Lyon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271059745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271059747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.30w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Arabella Lyon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064810483967,"sku":"9780271059747","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1e9e9c6-1871-4206-ab32-674684f79afe.jpg?v=1768671179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deliberative-acts-arabella-lyon-9780271059747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
