Interdisciplinarity as a Need for the Articulation of the Knowledge in the Field of the Human Rights

Abstract

The crisis in human rights protection persists despite attempts of control and repression presented throughout its history, and when referred to the field of knowledge, seems to generate even more problematic, since it reduces the production of knowledge that depart a multiplicity of ideological perspectives, losing interpretative and analytical studies of its foundations, its centrality. The crisis in this field also presents itself as an epistemological crisis, and requires new ways and methodologies capable of guiding a new form of construction of knowledge in order to make a comprehensive analysis of the real. These considerations argue for the need to establish a multidisciplinary design knowledge in the field of human rights. Our research field is formed, thus facing the double challenge of corporate crisis and paradigmatic crisis. Claims to treat human rights issues from a deep and broad dialogue between scientific specialties as a whole and with common sense, the time we live in a context of paradigmatic transition of
modern science, before the emergence of interdisciplinary perspective.
