While there is extensive literature on both the expansion of human rights and solidarity movements, and on micro-solidarity and violent actions, here I ask what is the relationship between human rights, micro-solidarity and social action? Based on a case study of structured, face-to-face dialogue group encounters in the Israeli/Palestinian context, I draw on Randall Collins’s interaction ritual chain theory to demonstrate why emotional energy and the ritualization of historical narratives have very limited potential to translate into human rights-based moral actions. Instead, I suggest, these encounters produce micro-solidarity that ascribes additional weight to ethnic categories, serving to polarize and homogenize groups along ethnic lines.

人权、微观团结和道德行动：以色列/巴勒斯坦背景下的“面对面”相遇

虽然有大量关于人权和团结运动的扩展以及微观团结和暴力行动的文献，但在这里我要问的是人权、微观团结和社会行动之间的关系是什么？基于以色列/巴勒斯坦语境中结构化、面对面的对话群体遭遇的案例研究，我借鉴兰德尔柯林斯的互动仪式链理论来证明为什么情感能量和历史叙事的仪式化转化为的潜力非常有限基于人权的道德行为。相反，我建议，这些遭遇产生了微观团结，将额外的权重赋予种族类别，有助于沿种族界限分化和同质化群体。
