| Résumé : |
The discourse which consists in assimilating the expressions "human rights" and "rights of the person" leads to a deforming of the relations between public space and private sphere. Yet the distinction is capital for studying this confrontation. Human rights are powers of action against the State; "rights of the person" are centred on the individual only, and ignore his quality as a citizen. This notion of "rights of the person" belongs to liberal thinking and criticism of the welfare state. It is based on the determination of means of protection of certain social situations by the institutions of Power. Protecting the person then takes precedence over guaranteeing human rights. The rights of the person are part of the field of civility and not sociality. The private sphere is shrinking and no longer has openings on to public space other than by means of demands and solicitation. Thus rights of the person make the individual a fragile being to whom the obliging assistance of private firms as well as public administrations grants a relative strength. And the aim of political action then becomes that of "maintaining order and safety to the detriment of solidarity". |
