| Abstract: | Specialet tager udgangspunkt i den amerikanske udenrigspolitiske diskurs, der er autoriseret af den amerikanske lov International Religious Freedom Act af 1998 (IRFA). IRFA diskursen problematiseres som en oppositionspolitisk menneskerettighedsdiskurs ved at fremhæve dens sammenhæng med vold, suverænitet og dominans. Problematiseringen foretages primært gennem to analytiske greb: 1) en derridiansk dekonstruktion af lovens autoritet og 2) en destabilisering af den binære logik, der strukturerer IRFA diskursens konstruktion af USA og det internationale samfund. |
