本文深入探討京奧，視其為鼓勵當今國際社會談論人權和參與人權論述擴散的場域。在京奧籌備和舉行期間，某些特定的人權觀念受到突顯，同時也壓抑了其他的觀念。本文旨在展現不同政治力之間在人權論述場域中的相互競爭、衝突與合作；他們全都在談論、或看似談論人權，並試圖賦予「人權」一詞特定意涵。本文透過對那些持有不同立場者的陳述、發言和行動分析，檢視其話語，以便理解人權話語是如何交會與競合，從而產生特定的人權觀念。

This paper investigates the Beijing Olympics as a contemporary event that incited people in the international community to discuss human rights and engage in the discursive proliferation of human rights. China experienced three waves of this discursive proliferation of human rights in 2008: firstly,through anger at foreigners over Tibet during the torch relay; secondly, in grief after the Sichuan earthquake; and thirdly, in pride at the successful games. Certain conceptions of human rights were brought to the fore during these three periods. This paper examines the competing discourses over human rights among different political forces, such as international human rights groups, pro-Tibetan independence groups, and the Chinese government. All speak, or appear to be speaking, of the same
subject--human rights. The sentiments expressed subsequently support the formulation of particular human rights concepts.
