| Sumario: | As a necessary step towards a critique of modern rights, this work analyses the exclusionary limitations in the colonial space of the ideas of citizenships and rights. It points out how Civil Society became restricted to the society of civilized men, as a way of modulating the exclusion inside a modern political logic (sovereignty) that, however, supposes free and equal individuals as its foundation. Through a brief analysis of the problem of slavery, historicism, and indirect rule, the article argues that postcolonial critique could help us interrogate the languages, practices and effects of these particular forms (historicist, colonialist, racialized, culturists) of limitation of modern rights. |
