The Politics of Storytelling: Variations on a Theme by Hannah Arendt (Critical Anthropology)

Michael D. Jackson
4.9/5 (33373 ratings)
Description:Hannah Arendt famously argued that politics are best understood as a power relationship between private and public realms. And storytelling, she argued, creates a vital bridge between these realms, a place where individual passions and shared perspectives can be contested and interwoven. In The Politics of Storytelling—revised in this 2nd edition with a new preface and design—anthropologist Michael Jackson explores and expands on Arendt’s notions, bringing stories from all around the world into impressive cross-cultural analysis.                Jackson retells stories from the Kuranko in Sierra Leone, the Australian Aboriginals, and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission—by refugees, renegades, and war veterans. Focusing on the violent and volatile conditions under which stories are told—or silenced—he explores the power of narrative to remake reality, enabling people to symbolically alter their relations and help reclaim an existential viability. Above all, he shows how Arendt’s writings on narrative deepen our understanding of the critical, therapeutic, and politic role of storytelling, that it is one of the crucial ways by which we understand one another.  We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
