However, honour and HRV are not the same thing. In this article I examine contemporary UN human rights discourses around honour. I argue that these discourses are underpinned by racialised and orientalist-colonial imaginaries which falsely categorise people and places as either having or not having honour. This conflation presents honour as a cultural problem attributed to racialised communities mostly associated with the Muslim World. Adopting a critical post- and de-colonial perspective, I undertake a discourse analysis of UN human rights documents to expose orientalist tropes that reproduce epistemic and material violence against honour. 2023-09-28T03:25:41Z 2023-09-28T03:25:41Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10691-023-09517-w https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9323 en application/pdf Springer
