Histoires de la pensée des droits de l'homme
Symposium on “Stories of human rights thought” - World Philosophy Day 2007 celebrated at the UNESCO Headquarters on 15 of November 2007
Antigone, Socrates, Luther, Erasmus, Robespierre, Olympia de Gouges, Sartre, Rosa Parks, all reunited on the same stage? These characters, to name a few, will be called together the time of an event, on the occasion of the World Philosophy Day 2007.
Entitled “Stories of human rights thought”, this theatre play written by Alain Didier-Weill is staged by Daniel Mesguich. Its aim is to question human rights thinking from the point of view of psychoanalysis and philosophy. To that purpose, the theatre play tackles the issue of the encounter between the subject and the two aspects of law: the written law and the symbolic law, this latter aspect leading to the psychoanalytical field. From the encounter between philosophy and psychoanalysis surges the issue of the confrontational relationship between natural rights and law.
In order to extend the reflection on this subject, a public debate will follow the reading. The debate will be conducted by Jean Charmoille, Dominique Bertrand and Paolo Lollo, members of the journal Insistance, which explores the fields of art, psychoanalysis and politics. A multidisciplinary approach that also lies in the priorities of UNESCO’s policy, and goes towards the implementation of the UNESCO Intersectoral strategy on philosophy.
The event will take place in Room I, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The entrance will be at the following address: 125, avenue de Suffren, 75007 Paris. The presentation of the invitation card is requested.

La loi que le sujet doit rencontrer a un double versant : pour être autorisé à parler il doit assumer la loi écrite, mais pour s’autoriser à dire, il doit, comme Antigone, s’affi lier à une loi symbolique non écrite qui ne garantit pas le dire de la vérité. La rencontre entre la philosophie et la psychanalyse pose la question du rapport
confl ictuel entre le droit naturel et la loi.
