Bernard Hours, The Ideology of Humanitarianism, or Moral Globalisation
Humanitarian ideology can be understood as the moral cover of the globalisation presently being realized by capitalist market forces. The so-called universal human rights represent the most basic premise of the ideology of humanitarianism. Human beings have become objects of humanitarian action and an object within the ideology of humanitarianism. The political function of this ideology is to absolve the economic and political actor-authorities of any responsibility for the negative consequences of their activities. More precisely, it transforms solidarity into a veritable pulsion which is oblivious of the social and cultural specificity of the human beings it purports to help. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
