Life-narratives and human rights: reflection about women’s rights and state of exception
Summary: This paper aims to analyze the women's rights in the Brazilian context, mainly, reproductive rights. So, to achieve this purpose, this paper through the combination of Law, philosophy, and Literature tries to rethinking why women can’t have a voice when the decisions about their rights are taken? Methodologically, it was used a bibliographical revision, the novel The Handmaid’s Tale, wrote by Margaret Atwood (2002) and the concepts of Homo sacer and state of exception developed by the philosopher Giorgio Agamben (1998; 2005) to illustrated how life-narratives can promote human rights.
