ตัวบท และกรณีตัวอย่างของการต่อสู้เรื่องสิทธิมนุษยชน
โครงการสื่อเพื่อบริบทสิทธิมนุษยชน: จากชายขอบถึงศูนย์กลาง
มหาวิทยาลัยเที่ยงคืน : รวบรวม
โครงการความร่วมมือระหว่างมหาวิทยาลัยเที่ยงคืน
และนักวิชาการอิสระ-สถาบัน ฯลฯ

ปัจจุบันกระแสโลกาภิวัตน์ดูเหมือนจะเป็นยูโธเปีย(utopia) สำหรับประเทศศูนย์กลาง
แต่ขณะเดียวกันกระแสโลกาภิวัตน์นี้กลับกลายเป็นยูโธปลอม(dystopia) ของบรรดาประเทศชายขอบทั้งหลาย
เนื่องจากได้นำมาซึ่งการสูญเสีย และกดขี่ทางด้านสิทธิมนุษยชนอย่างเป็นรูปธรรม
ทั้งทางด้านความยุติธรรม ความเท่าเทียม อิสรภาพ และการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืน
ไม่ว่าจะมองจากมิติทางด้านการเมือง เศรษฐกิจ สังคม วัฒนธรรม และกฎหมาย ฯลฯ
โดยสื่อหลายแขนงทำหน้าที่กล่อมเกลาให้สิ่งเหล่านี้ดำรงอยู่และเป็นที่ยอมรับ แทนที่จะตั้งคำถาม

โครงการสื่อเพื่อบริบทสิทธิมนุษยชน มหาวิทยาลัยเที่ยงคืน เกิดขึ้นมาจาก
การเล็งเห็นถึงปัญหาเหล่านี้ที่กำลังคุกคามผู้คนและพยายามที่จะแสวงหาตัวบท
พร้อมทั้งกรณีตัวอย่างในที่ต่างๆ มานำเสนอ เพื่อทำความเข้าใจสถานการณ์โลก
ที่ค่อนข้างสลับซับซ้อน และทางออกที่หลากหลายในประเทศชายขอบต่างๆ
เพื่อประโยชน์ต่อสังคมไทยนำไปปรับประยุกต์กับสถานการณ์

Project type: Media and information
Project title: Media Project on "Human Rights in Context: from Periphery to Mainstream"
Location: Thailand
Research duration: 2007-2008

Brief project summary:

The ideal body of this media project by Midnight University has been set according to the lack of information translated properly in Thai language concerning human rights situation in the present. It has become a believe for the project's implement that this project will function as a knowledge capsule for that it can be used widely for further equal negotiation regarding liberation, equality, and justice in the age of information war. By surveying examples of political strategies by activists from marginal countries around the world, this media project has set the aim paving ways to effective social movements for Thai social activists and scholars.

Problem Statement:

It is believed that globalization is a "utopia" purposively for only some countries that are able to utilize its access to resources and knowledge of technologies, new world order of laws, and business marketing, namely for some countries from the center. However, globalization can be critically realized as a "dystopia" by countries from periphery.

When every corners of the world has become united, and now globalized, it first of all was promised that every man would be equal under the name of rights in all facades of its idea. As for its result, vast arguments had never been brought to the light till we happen to realize that globalization creates miserable problems on human rights violations, rather than preceding successfully its guarantee of justice, equality, and liberation. Further more globalization has spurred vastly difficulties, problems, and dilemmas of the ideas of development in all respects politically, economically, socially, and culturally. Finally, it seems that the idea of sustainable development has never been listed in a serious discussion of globalization project.

Through concepts of neo-liberalism political economy, globalization has been capable of mentioning human rights to intervene, intrude, or even determine economic and politic administration of many countries in Latin America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Eastern Europe. They have become targets of globalization. Thailand is one example among other countries in such regions mentioned where arguments on human rights, equality, justice, liberation, gender, and etc have been aroused. Critical discussions are pointed at the formation of an ideal geography of democratic values that globalization created - in terms of economic, artistic, social and cultural practices as a result of tradition and development of the Western world view as somehow opposed to the ways to which indigenous people have responded. Muslims in Thailand is crucial in this case as for how they understand concepts of human rights.

Through out many last decades in Thailand, there have been explicit conflicts over elusively political and economic benefits assured implicitly by means of institutional organization in association with the forces of globalization. They are conflicts where some handful people by different poles of power flight over each other to gain opportunities of having been close to and hooked up with what the mainstream should have provided. Moreover they have attempted to propagate ideological differences which have led common people to political wars at large. And, finally allowed by institutional power all benefit is portioned and allocated among them. Common people are excluded from this type of benefit based politically decision making. Needs and voices of people have never been heard. And, their rights to live are politically directed and determined. They have no alternatives.

Concerning Social Media in Thailand

Media and universities in Thailand should have shown or revealed some hidden agendas of those kinds of social illness, and offered other possible choices, alternative ways of thinking. Rather they tend to implicitly represent, or even reinforce what the mainstream agrees with. A door opening to negotiation to live well and to seek for alternative ways of living of people is closed before any one realizes that there is one, or many.

Where there is life there is always hopes. Nowadays, many academics and independent organizations begin to think of stepping out side of strictly institutional bonds and find some niches to position different ideological groundwork. Midnight University was started by such spirit. It is consisted of people who agree that there are always alternatives as long as we attempt to find one, and there are many as possible as we will make ones.

Social Activity Implemented by Midnight University

Since 1997 initiated by 15 scholars with different backgrounds in Laws, Science, Fine arts, Political Sciences, History, and Medical Sciences, Midnight University has taken radical steps towards social criticism and put all activities taking place both at the University's classrooms, lectures, discussions, and at many sites specific of problems, where we went to pay a visit and help stirring up all together with local people, into actions. By doing so, tremendous numbers of dialogues, critical writings and essays are submitted to our website by independent researchers, writers, and also by our staff. During the period of years 2000 -2003, Midnight University had run a special TV program where public opinions regarding political situation and people rights in Thailand at the time were drawn in.

Launched onwards from the year 2000, Midnight University website (http://midnightuniv.tumrai.com) have been gradually added NGOs information links, research articles, and essays in addition to the classified knowledge encyclopedia where English texts are translated in Thai in various topics. Those have become the resources for further thought and re-thinking for academics, journalists, students, and people at large. They eventually help opening up new discussions critically and creatively.

In addition, by using the availability of new media, namely in this case the internet tool, Midnight University website constantly raises up initial social dialogues. The population of Website users gradually has growth in greater numbers each day. Approximately, there are 200,000 IP have signed in and over 20,000 articles, writings, and essays have been downloaded. This can be considered as a new phenomenon of an alternative education as well as an opening of a new page of understanding in new media as a social action and criticism in Thailand. Judging by such impacts, Midnight University website is a political project per se rather than only just information archives.

Why Media Research Project

According to all problems of issues involved human rights concern mentioned above, this media project aims at seeking for alternative ways of thought to crack it open some wounds swelled on the body of the mainstream based institution in Thailand. Its goal is also at giving some good examples of counter practices that allow more working spaces for marginal academics and non-mainstream organizations, which, as a result, should also constitute public spaces of new social movement, dialogue and understanding about human rights.

Conclusively, this media project does not provide an end after its research duration. It should rather constitute a continuity of further consequences of negotiation, liberation, justice, and sustainable development of the people from the periphery.

1. Intentionality and human rights law
2. The periphery within the core
3. The concept of difference and international organizations

The first topic area relates to the work of some scholars in the
U.S. They are trying to critically examine how western institution apply human rights law to
other societies by using the idea of "intent."

The second and third topics are about how globalization is producing marginal spaces
in the core countries, think of the U.S. specifically, where economic conditions are leading
to more exclusion and a specific form of dystopia. Number 3 is about how global institutions
