Stedelijke jongeren groeien op in verschillende leefwerelden. Op straat, in de stedelijke volkswijken, krijgen zij macho-masculiene codes mee: de bescherming van de eigen 'eer', 'respect', het voorkomen van gezichtsverlies en de perceptie van de vrouw als lustobject. Deze codes van de straat conflicteren met de leefwereld van de school, waar feminien-softe codes als zelf- reflectie, zelfexpressie, zelfevaluatie en zelfontplooiing steeds belangrijker zijn geworden.

Hierdoor onstaat een pijnlij...

How were human rights invented, and how does their tumultuous history influence their perception and our ability to protect them today? From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.

Augusto Boal saw theatre as a mirror to the world, one that we can reach into to change our reality. This book, The Theatre of the Oppressed, is the foundation to 'Forum Theatre', a popular radical form practised across the world.
