The Poetics of International Politics

Milan Babik

4.9/5 (21833 ratings)

Description:This book exposes the role of poetic techniques and narrative composition in constituting the reality of world affairs. It has two interrelated objectives; to excavate the non-empirical elements inherent in mainstream academic international relations literature and to highlight the real political inspirations and implications written by leading contemporary novelists about international topics.Drawing on the cutting-edge narrative theory of factual representation developed by Frank Ankersmit, Louis Mink, Arthur Danto, and above all Hayden White, this book uses examples such as Don DeLillo's novel Falling Man to reveal how fiction often utilizes real political events and has a real political agenda.Mainstream IR discourse thus emerges as a subset of rhetoric: the art and politics of persuasion through language. IR's closely guarded professional status as an autonomous discipline consecrated to the study of the international arena comes under challenge; surfacing as a linguistic construct and conservative obstacle to emancipatory progress.This volume issues a powerful call against specialization and for holistic learning, not just across established disciplinary boundaries about international relations, but across the much broader divide between fact and fiction. It will be of interest to scholars and students of International Relations, Political Theory, Cultural Theory, Literary Studies and Criticism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
