Abstract:

This research is entitled (The Routes and forms of Narrating Political Events in Mardin Ibrahim’s Novels). The aim of this research is to discuss the narration techniques, alongside this, the political events bad consequences on the nations’ destiny is highlighted, especially those nations referred to in the novels of our framework. In this research, it is attempted to accurately clarify the narration time trends like rising route, falling route and twisting route, as well as clarifying the narration forms of the political events, like amalgamating and blending form, turn taking form and circular form. According to this research, it is realized that Mardin Ibrahim’s novels have strong and effective construction with reference to the events levels and their narrations. One of the findings of this research is that the falling route is generally used more than the other routes, and amalgamating and blending form is more broadly used than the other forms to enrich the novels.

Abstract:

This article examines the interaction between the processes of autobiographic memory in relation to the military dictatorship of 1976-1983 in Argentina and the narrations constructed and communicated by these practices. In this context the article goes over the experiences of a former political dissident in 1970s in Argentina and constructs a self-narration which leads to a sense of this life in history. The results of the connection and synchronization of the autobiographical experiences in a much broader social context made them much more meaningful. Thus, these autobiographical narratives also indicate the ways in which significant historical events mold individual subjectivities.

Abstract:

Enemy in political narrations of manichaean antagonismThe text is an attempt to draw the reader attention to the importance of mechanisms and potential effects of political narrations of Manichaean antagonism. The author assesses that these type of narrations, particularly when they grow to the status of the official political propaganda, constitute the significant threat to liberal democracy. An axiological antagonism is determining the creation of a state of political war, makes impossible the dialogue and the cooperation between political groups. The rival is taken as the enemy, and political arche is an aspiration to destroy him. Such a scheme is a great challenge for the political pluralism. Antagonistic narrations, especially marked with Gnostic and Manichaean elements most often apply manipulative reductions in complex reality, relying on such public instructions as: low political competence, mistrust, authoritarian and paranoid tendencies.

Abstract:

Siraj al-Muluk by Abubakr al-Turtushi, the Faqih of 5th century AH, is one of the most outstanding Islamic works of political thought describing his political theory. A great part of the language of theory in the work is based on the most trustful Islamic text or Qur’an; also Islamic narrations (hadith) have a good position in this language. The authenticity of Qur’an and Hadith, has helped the theory in presenting its ethical – political epistemology, virtual thought, the framework of theoretical and practical ethics, and political strategies to control the society and shaping the frames of government. The methodology of this research is using the approach of Thomas Spragens in understanding Turtushi`s political thought and the position of the concept of language through it. About the versis of Qur’an and the narrations, turtushi`s analytical view has been studied here. This research shows that the structured and selected use of verses and prophetic narrations, is the bases of Turtushi`s work; he has shaped the most part of his theory by the authenticity of verses and narrations. By this war, the practical part of his theory is the political repeat of Qur’an and Hadith which has made the theory an ethical one.

Abstract:

Abstract The corpus of epic material produced in the New Persian language, best known by Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāma, is preoccupied with narrating Iran’s past. In this article, the production milieu of the epic material during post-Conquest Iran is explored. This is undertaken by tracing the sources of the Sistani Cycle of Epics, a body of literature, which recounts the stories of Rostam, his ancestors and his progeny. The discussion of the sources of this body of epics reveals what seems to be an abundant interest in narrating multiple, diverse and contradictory events of Iran’s pre-Islamic past. The existence of a plethora of varying narrations raises several questions such as the impetus for transmission of these varying narratives, and the nature of Iranian historiography.

Abstract:

Tragedies were performed for the first time in ancient Greece between the sixth and fifth century BC. A century later, Aristotle in the Poetics gave his famous definition of tragedy, transforming it into a narrative genre. Our aim is primarily to introduce and analyse some characteristics of the tragic scheme. Three main elements will be taken into consideration. We will see that at the very heart of the tragic narration there is “something” unrepresentable, unbearable and nameless that Lacan, in the VII seminar on ethics, names Das Ding or La Chose, The Thing. After that, we will consider the representation of an ethical power which disputes the traditional and institutionalised order. Thirdly, the presence of sacred forces will be evoked to contextualise the ancien and contemporary tragic narrations in a mythical, pre-logical, pre-textual framework. However, in order to identify any forms of tragic narratives in the contemporary era, a consideration of the medium itself cannot be avoided, as tragedies were shown and affected large crowds of people and had a substantial political role. Cinema is thus revealed to be the most privileged media device to present modern tragic narrations and their typical aesthetic solutions. In this article, we will discuss three examples of tragic narratives in mainstream American cinema from the last three decades. Works by Sean Penn (The Pledge, 2001), James Grey (Little Odessa, 1995) and Clint Eastwood (Midnight in the garden of good and evil, 1997) will be investigated.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze and explain prophetic traditions using an analytical approach. It addresses the problem encountered in the study, and this approach belongs to the methodologies associated with the humanities and social sciences. The researcher followed a descriptive and analytical methodology in conducting this research, utilizing library resources, relying on primary books and relevant scientific articles to crystallize the concept of the analytical approach. This research is one of the few fundamental studies in terms of purpose and methodology. Its data analysis method is qualitative, based on logic and content analysis to observe and analyze the phenomenon by presenting its elements and concepts. This study revealed that the analytical approach is one of the most important methodologies in Islamic sciences, especially among scholars of prophetic traditions. Therefore, their critical and explanatory work is clearly based on a systematic methodology, particularly the analytical approach they heavily rely on. The methodology of scholars in analyzing narrations includes examining both the chain of narrators and the text. Through an examination of the analysis methodologies of hadith critics, it was found that analysis focuses on two significant aspects: studying the circumstances, behaviors, and beliefs of narrators, and analyzing the content of the narrations to determine the reliability of the narrator. The analytical approach is one of the methodologies associated with the humanities and social sciences. By this, we mean sciences that rely on rules or frameworks to analyze phenomena, such as religious sciences, linguistic sciences, political sciences, legal sciences, economic sciences, and others. Through an examination of the analysis methodologies of hadith critics, it was found that analysis focuses on two significant aspects: studying the circumstances, behaviors, and beliefs of narrators, as well as examining the methods of reception and performance, where they utilize the experimental analytical approach. Additionally, they consider the uniqueness of a narrator in narrating a specific narration and the deviation of trustworthiness from other trustworthy narrators. Moreover, analyzing the content of the narrations to determine the reliability of the narrator is also undertaken.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to explore the tool of illustrative storytelling to challenge governmental restrictions faced by refugee narratives in Sweden. This exploration will be done through the study of stereotypes that stigmatise the refugee’s identity. The figure of the refugee is often shaped by the visual representation one consumes via mass media and the words one hears in political debates and social discourse. Refugees are often portrayed as immigrants and nothing but immigrants, faceless victims on news, and often de-named suffering people drowning in some ocean. This portrayal makes the humanity of the refugee invisible. A human who has a face, a name, a past, a story beyond his/her refugee story, and most importantly an identity and rights. I have always witnessed the portrayal of refugees – and myself as one of them- in the media as an act of dehumanization, a misuse of terminology describing me and my situation in political and social discourse, and the effects of these factors on refugees. I have always struggled with the entitlement this invisibility and misrepresentation gives to people. I sense this every time people talk to me, talk about me, and/or talk on my behalf. This misrepresentation always portrayed me as a ‘’problem’’. The refugee has always been a crisis, ‘’A global refugee crisis’’, ‘’An integration crisis’’, and a ‘’European migrant crisis’’. This use of terminology results in a lot of feelings that become politicised and socialised such as fear, apathy, empathy and sometimes hate. This study will present an exploration of such feelings and their significance to the refugee situation. I will present a critical analysis on the representation of the refugee through a research on Swedish media, political discourse, and the design executed by the Migration Board’s office in Stockholm. The research will be supported by a visual outcome in the form of a graphic novel that narrates two parallel stories. One story is my own experience as an asylum seeker, and the other is a narration of the overall refugee situation in Sweden. The two stories will be treated on two different levels, a personal one and a journalistic one. Illustration as a tool here serves an aim beyond its practical aspect of depicting a narration. It is a resistance against the restrictions of filming, recording, and photographing whatever happens inside the Migration Board’s offices in Sweden. It is a significant tool that educates, interprets, and re-contextualises the right of refugees to tell their own stories as well as document and expose a history told by our oppressors. Illustration here serves an aim of narrating a story that is not institutionalised but provides the reader with cultural understanding and access to a world only the refugee can depict.

Abstract:

Existe-t-il une unité dans la multiplicité péroniste ? Qu'est-ce qui a fait que des personnes provenant d'univers si différents se retrouvent toutes à brandir le drapeau de Perón ? La réponse est probablement à chercher dans les histoires que les péronistes racontent (et se racontent). En effet, dès les années 1940, Juan Perón reconfigure des récits qui avaient été façonnés dans les milieux intellectuels et politiques argentins des décennies précédentes. Ce travail montre comment l'étude des origines intellectuelles du péronisme permet de retracer des emprunts à trois narrations politiques élaborées avant l'arrivée de Perón au pouvoir. Le « Revisionismo Histórico », la FORJA, dans les années 1930, imposent une nouvelle lecture de l'histoire nationale, anti-oligarchique et anti-impérialiste. Les tenants de la « Mission latino-américaine » prônent le rôle essentiel à jouer par l'Amérique latine face à l'Europe et les États-Unis. La recherche menée dans cette thèse a trouvé que le péronisme s'approprie ces trois narrations, mais produit en revanche quelque chose de différent. Ces réappropriations discursives sont visibles dans les interventions de Perón, qui, dans des conjonctures bien précises, fait appel à des éléments de ces trois récits politiques, tels que l'oligarchie, l'impérialisme, la bourgeoisie nationale, pour créer ses propres narrations, chacune avec son propre représentant général, autour du travail, des travailleurs, de la jeunesse, dans la construction de la nation.Mots clés : narration politique - discours - péronisme - histoire - oligarchie - anti-impérialisme -
Can we weave a single thread through the diverse branches of Peronism? What brings people together from such different backgrounds and ideologies to wave the Peronist flag? The answer is most likely lying in the stories that Peronists tell. Indeed, as from the 1940's, Juan Perón was reshaping texts that had already been going round Argentinian intellectual and political circles. The work presented here shows that the study of the intellectual origins of Peronism reveals three political narratives constructed before Peron arrived in power. “Historical Revisionism” and FORJA in the 1930's both rewrote the national history books, whereas those adhering to the “Latin-American Mission” promoted the Latin-American cause in the face of European and American dominance. The research conducted for this thesis has found that Peronism draws on these three narratives to do something somewhat different. Peron has in fact reappropriated elements of each of these narratives at different key moments - with themes such as the oligarchy, imperialism and the national bourgeoisie visible in his speeches and writings - to create his own discourse around work, workers and the youth in order to rebuild a nation.Key words : political narration - discourse - Peronism - history - oligarchy - anti-imperialism

Abstract:

A questão da prática democrática e da efetiva participação política ainda é uma temática bastante polêmica na sociedade brasileira. Mesmo com uma constituição democrática e com uma série de instrumentos participativos instituídos, o Brasil ainda parece bastante distante de atingir uma democracia consolidada. Há muitas teorias que versam a respeito dos fatores que podem motivar ou desmotivar o envolvimento e a participação política, tais como a cultura, a confiança, o capital social e o reconhecimento. Na presente dissertação, busca-se entender quais os reais motivos que levam um cidadão a escolher se envolver ou não na política, adotando uma posição ativa e participante ou uma posição passiva em relação a estas questões. A proposta consistiu em realizar uma revisão das teorias sobre a motivação para participar, um levantamento da situação democrática do país, estudando o papel da história política e da memória coletiva no contexto da participação, bem como a influência das narrativas circulantes no mundo da política, com especial destaque para as narrativas cotidianas, que nada mais são do que aquelas que ocorrem na esfera íntima dos indivíduos, no seu dia a dia, com familiares, amigos e conhecidos. É neste contexto que a presente dissertação pretende acrescentar, introduzindo no debate da participação a questão do contexto de vida dos indivíduos, das experiências vividas por ele ou para ele passadas por meio de narrativas e sua influência como estímulo ou desestímulo na motivação dos cidadãos a envolver-se com assuntos políticos. Para tanto, além da revisão bibliográfica, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica baseada em entrevistas em profundidade com cidadãos atuantes e não atuantes no cenário político do município de São Paulo, buscando entender seu comportamento político e suas motivações para tal.
The democratic practice and effective political participation is still a theme very polemic in Brazilian society. Even with a democratic constitution and series of participatory tools, Brazil still seems quite far from reaching a consolidated democracy. There are many theories that talk about the factors that may motivate or discourage involvement and political participation, such as culture, trust, social capital and recognition. In this dissertation, we seek to understand the real reasons that lead a citizen to choose to get involved or not in politics, taking an active role or a passive position in relation to these issues. The proposal was to conduct a review of the theories on motivation to participate, a study of the democratic situation in the country, studying the role of political history and public memory in the context of participation, as well as the influence of narratives that circulates in the world of politics, with special emphasis on daily narratives, which are nothing more than those that occur in the private sphere of individuals in their daily lives, with family, friends and acquaintances. It is in this context that this dissertation intends to add, introducing in the participation discussion the question of the life context of individuals, the experiences that they live or they have known through narratives and their influence as stimulus or discourage on the motivation of citizens to engage with political issues. Therefore, in addition to the literature review, we conducted an empirical research based on interviews with active and not active citizens in the political scene in São Paulo, seeking to understand political behavior and their motivations for doing so.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Richard Kearney
This work addresses an important phenomenon in the contemporary philosophy of narrative and coins it as a term. Trigger-narratives denote myth-like stories that ignite certain mass social participation. Juxtapose to five well-established philosophical concepts of narrative this work demonstrates that while trigger-narratives share formal characteristics with all, they fail to be meaningfully and comprehensively subsumed under any. I use three protagonists as comparative case studies to illustrate trigger-narratives: Rosa Parks (US), Mouhammed Bouazizi (Tunisia) and Daphne Leef (Israel). The sociopolitical reaction to trigger-narratives exceeds them in content and in size. Yet, these protagonists continue to serve as catalysts and perennial symbols of the transformative events that follow their protesting acts. Trigger-narratives are not lived-narratives. They do not disclose what Arendt’s refers to as a unique who or MacIntyre’s unity of a human life. They do not answer the ownmost rhythm of Heidegger’s Being-toward-death or operate like Ricoeur’s or Kearney’s concepts of testimony. The protagonist perspective is rarely heard or seriously considered. Unlike historical narratives trigger-narratives are not the product of research. They form quickly and in their aftermath they resist change. Trigger-narrative protagonists draw their power from being portrayed as context-less, weak and uncalculated while historical leaders draw power from descriptions of authority, skill, and deliberation. Trigger-narratives have the effect and/or aspiration of metanarratives. They aim at a new order. However, they spring from articulated singular accounts rather than form an all-encompassing tacit sub-current narrative. Adding a sixth sociological concept of narrative I refer to issue-narratives. Trigger-narratives congeal around an issue. But they instill a far greater expectation for change. I conclude that: 1. trigger narratives are closest to fiction 2. They operate through a condensation of Ricoeur’s mimetic cycle configuring and refiguring reality in a rapid rotation that ossifies them into a mobilizing form, and that 3. Interpreting trigger-narratives through the perspective of world-creating myths illuminates many of their typical characteristics in a unifying, comprehensive manner. The study points to two new research directions: 1. trigger-narratives’ aftermath operations (specifically rituals and newly erected institutions).2. Further interdisciplinary cooperation between contemporary political philosophy of narrative and the sociological methodology of frame-analysis

Abstract:

The following thesis is an analysis of the self-narratives of the parties in the Swedish Riksdag and how these are used to construct the identities of the parties. For this purpose, we studied narrative theory and theories about identity in order to build a framework which would allow us to investigate the narratives of these parties. To identify the core narratives of the parties, we chose to focus on their respective party programs. Based on the results of our quantitative investigation, we chose four parties (Socialdemokraterna, Liberalerna, Miljöpartiet, and Sverigedemokraterna) to study in a more in-depth manner. Having selected these four parties, we utilized theories about narrative and identity in order to identify the constituent parts of the various parties' narratives contained in their party programs. The parties were found to adhere to our theoretical assumptions about how parties ought to construct narratives, albeit in different ways from party to party.

White, Holly. "Westminster's narration of neoliberal crisis : rationalising the irrational?" Thesis, Edge Hill University, 2017. http://repository.edgehill.ac.uk/9949/.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis draws upon the work of Antonio Gramsci, Stuart Hall, and Norman Fairclough to analyse Westminster narration of the neoliberal capitalist crisis from 2010-2015. It is argued that Westminster parties sought to ‘resolve’ the crisis by intensifying the neoliberal conditions that caused it. This served the interests of private capital whilst inflicting harm and injustice on the less powerful and less wealthy. The thesis centres on Westminster definers’ discursive strategies of crisis narration, which sought to rationalise their ‘resolution’ and maintain hegemony. This thesis addresses lacunae in the existing literature of elite narration of the crisis in a British context in a number of ways. It is concerned with the comparatively broad scope of Westminster definers’ narration of ‘causes’, responses and proposed responses to the crisis, and the discursive strategies for countering challenges presented by oppositional movements. It contributes an analysis of Westminster’s narration of challenges that began to emerge over the period. This thesis provides a longitudinal study examining the development of Westminster narratives between 2010 and 2015, contributing a detailed analysis of three ‘intense narration moments’: the General Election 2010, the Scottish Independence Referendum 2014, and the General Election 2015. Utilising Fairclough’s framework of critical discourse analysis, it critically analyses a comprehensive data set of 185 texts disseminated by Westminster definers. Texts include televised election debates, radio interviews, manifestos, budget statements, speeches, and posters. The thesis evidences that false, inaccurate, and misleading representations were central, systematic, and ubiquitous to Westminster’s narration of the crisis. It is argued that Westminster: restricted debate within narrow boundaries that excluded non-neoliberal alternatives and reinforced the ‘necessity’ of neoliberal responses. They identified ideologically advantageous but false ‘causes’ of crisis that had concomitant neoliberal responses and favourably structured Britain’s political agenda and shifted debate onto more neoliberal terrain. They operated to generate misunderstanding of Britain’s fiscal position to justify austerity, and constructed neoliberal responses as moral imperatives. Westminster definers countered challenges by representing parties inaccurately, constructing alternatives as unviable and immoral, and reinforcing an element of a challenge’s narrative but adopting a different framing to redirect Britain towards Westminster’s ‘resolution’.

Abstract:

How do politician talk about the role of school in society, in an era of changing demands and challenges represented by the knowledge society and globalization? The material underlying the study consists of protocols from the Swedish parliament during a decade characterized by many reforms and with both a conservative government and a social democratic. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the contemporary debate on school policy in the Swedish Parliament between 1991 and 2002. My research questions are: Which are the dominating narratives about schooling that emerge in the debate? What are the influences from contemporary policies and from educational research? What kind of rhetorical resources underpin the arguments in the plenary debate and are there any shifts, inconsistencies and contradictions that can be heard in the debates? Inspired by Margaret Somers four dimensions of narratives: ontological narrative, public narrative, metanarrative and conceptual narrative and I am using them to interpret different aspects of school as a political narrative. Methodologically, I worked initially with a content analysis gradually moving to narrative analysis. The educational debates held during the three terms in office are characterised by different political initiatives and different kind of issues. I construct a number of dominating narratives with different plots, problems, solutions and promises of a better future for both the school and the nation. Key concepts seems to “float” depending on who uses them and in what context they are used. Important parts in the narratives are the rhetorical resources that politicians are using to get legitimacy and credibility. Perceptions of schools presented in the debate, may be seen as stories about what is desirable and possible, but also what is unwanted, threatening the progress of school and society. I have highlighted four public narratives in these debates and they are: A School for All, School on the Market, School in the Knowledge Society and A School in Crisis.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter poses questions about research on a phenomenon that is polluted by politics, personal tragedies, ideological loyalties, and hazards for the subject of research. Is it possible to conduct research that contributes to freedom of movement, while reflecting on the emotions and political loyalties of the researcher? The chapter suggests four concrete principles for an emancipatory migration research paradigm and considers reflections, emotions, and narrations during and after the conduct of fieldwork at the Greek islands of Lesvos and Chios in the winter of 2019. This is also a call for future publications from researchers who have faced similar emotions, and dead ends in the field, and wish to engage in research compatible with solidarity with migrants.

Abstract:

Media sources, primarily of the political variation, have a hastening grip on narratives that can easily be constructed using biased views and false information. Unfortunately, many people in modern society are unable to differentiate these false narratives from real events. Utilizing natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and various other computer science techniques, models can be generated to help users immediately detect bias and falsehoods in political media. The models created in this experiment were able to detect up to 70% accuracy on political bias and 73% accuracy on falsehoods by utilizing datasets from a variety of collections of both political media and other mediums of information. Overall, the models were successful as the standard for most natural language processing models achieved only about 75% accuracy.

Abstract:

The author proposes to approach the identity of the character in the volume Me and the world by Alexei Marinat from the perspective of the construction and reconstruction of the self in relation to the totalitarian Power by bringing into discussion a potential crisis generated by the conflict between the identity imposed by the political Power and one’s own values. The relationship between the diary character, implicitly the one from the documentary prose fragments ‒ narratives that identify with A. Marinat, articulating the trajectory of the writer’s human and literary destiny, and totalitarian Power, the reactions of the budding writer to the identity project imposed by the system ‒ will be analysed to underline the consequences of political pressure on the character’s moral profile. Thus, the study offers a broad perspective on the meaning of Power, seen on the one hand as "a diabolical force" and on the other hand as a "necessary evil" that involuntarily strengthens the identity of the individual, representing a case of resistance to the politics in which the power undoubtedly belongs to the writer A. Marinat.

Abstract:

The availability of a large amount of unstructured text has generated interest in utilizing it for future decision-making and developing strategies in various critical domains. Despite some progress, automatically generating accurate reasoning models from the raw text is still an active area of research. Furthermore, most proposed approaches focus on a specific do-main. As such, their suggested transformation methods are usually unreliable when applied to other domains. This research aims to develop a framework, SCANER (Semi-automated CAusal Network Extraction from Raw text), to convert raw text into Causal Bayesian Networks (CBNs). The framework will then be employed in various domains to demonstrate its utilization as a decision-support tool. The preliminary experiments have focused on three domains: political narratives, food insecurity, and medical sciences. The future focus is on developing BNs from political narratives and modifying them through various methods to reduce the level of aggressiveness or extremity in the narratives without causing conflict among the masses or countries.

Abstract:

The article covers the religious conception in the work of the famous American philosopher Richard Rorty. The author emphasises the secular and finalist views of R. Rorty on the nature of religion, and on the philosopher’s gradual perception of the need for their creative reinterpretation due to the actualisation of the role of religion in intellectual and political spheres. The article uncovers two fundamental constituents of Richard Rorty’s religious philosophy. The first of them is associated with R. Rorty’s perception of the ‘weak thinking’ concept in the writings of Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo. R. Rorty holds ‘weak thinking’ and ‘kenosis’ to be the key to understanding the possibility of religion in the postmodern era. The second aspect concerns the existence of religion in the public space. Here the distinction between ‘strong’ narratives and ‘weak’ thinking correlates with the politically significant distinction between ‘strong’ religious institutions and private (parish, community) religious practice. Rorty believes that the activity of ‘strong’ religious structures threatens liberal ‘social hope’ on the gradual democratisation of mankind. The article concludes that Richard Rorty’s philosophy of religion presents an original conception of religion in the context of modern temporal humanism; the concept positively evaluates religious experience to the extent that it does not become a basis for theoretical and political manipulations on the part of ‘strong’ religious institutes.

Full text

Abstract:

Images play a central role in contemporary culture, and it is crucial that architects understand, control, and engineer their political forces.¹ From hyper-real simulations to machine vision, the structure and way that images are mobilized is changing. Photorealistic techniques and data-driven ones are entrusted as “objective” image types, often deployed to represent reality, truth, or facts, when in actuality, they can be used to call those into question through critical narratives. This paper investigates the potential of images to cultivate conversations about emerging technology’s implications in architecture. A pedagogical case study is put forward that frames critical, image-based narratives used in the examination of social, political, economic, or ecological issues within an urban territory. Each project addresses how the territory might interface with a selected emerging technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles (AVs), drones, automation, and augmented reality (AR). “Objective” image types are examined—both historical ones like construction documents, patent drawings, and diagrams, and contemporary ones like satellite imaging, video games, LiDAR, and photogrammetry—to foreground the following questions. How does architecture, a field tasked with confronting the “real,” contend with the complex overlap of virtual and physical realms? How might our projections of future “realities” take on political positions rather than respond to the desires of capital?

Abstract:

Uzbekistan's journey toward independence prompted a profound reevaluation of its social, political, and spiritual landscape. This era witnessed a redefinition of literary concepts and criteria, leading to a more precise portrayal of history in literary works. Notably, these changes also influenced the storytelling genre, catalyzing its evolution. During this transformation, themes of freedom, national liberation, resistance against colonialism, and unwavering faith emerged as central narratives, previously considered too risky to explore in Uzbek literature. Instead, they became emblematic of national heroism. Understanding history became synonymous with self-awareness, with “Baburnama” by Babur, the founder of the Babur dynasty, serving as a faithful historical account. Inspired by “Boburnoma” Uzbek writers crafted unique narratives that continue to captivate readers. This study explores Uzbek historical narratives, drawing from the rich records within “Boburnoma”.

Full text

Abstract:

The article examines modern media texts in the field of political journalism; the role of information narratives and emotional markers in media doctrine is clarified; verbal expression of rational meanings in the articles of famous Ukrainian analysts is shown. Popular theories of emotions in the process of cognition are considered, their relationship with the author’s personality, reader psychology and gonzo journalism is shown. Since the media text, in contrast to the text, is a product of social communication, the main narrative is information with the intention of influencing public opinion. Media text implies the presence of the author as a creator of meanings. In addition, media texts have universal features: word, sound, visuality (stills, photos, videos). They are traditionally divided into radio, TV, newspaper and Internet texts. The concepts of multimedia and hypertext are related to online texts. Web combinations, especially in political journalism, have intensified the interactive branching of nonlinear texts that cannot be published in traditional media. The Internet as a medium has created the conditions for the exchange of ideas in the most emotional way. Hence Gonzo’s interest in journalism, which expresses impressions of certain events in words and epithets, regardless of their stylistic affiliation. There are many such examples on social media in connection with the events surrounding the Wagnerians, the Poroshenko case, Russia’s new aggression against Ukraine, and others. Thus, the study of new features of media text in the context of modern political narratives and emotional markers is important in media research. The article focuses review of etymology, origin and features of using lexemes “cмисл (meaning)” and “сенс (sense)” in linguistic practice of Ukrainians results in the development of meanings and functional stylistic coloring in the usage of these units. Lexemes “cмисл (meaning)” and “сенс (sense)” are used as synonyms, but there are specific fields of meanings where they cannot be interchanged: lexeme “сенс (sense)” should be used when it comes to reasonable grounds for something, lexeme “cмисл (meaning)” should be used when it comes to notion, concept, understanding. Modern political texts are most prominent in genres such as interviews with politicians, political commentaries, analytical articles by media experts and journalists, political reviews, political portraits, political talk shows, and conversations about recent events, accompanied by effective emotional narratives. Etymologically, the concept of “narrative” is associated with the Latin adjective “gnarus” – expert. Speakers, philosophers, and literary critics considered narrative an “example of the human mind.” In modern media texts it is not only “story”, “explanation”, “message techniques”, “chronological reproduction of events”, but first of all the semantic load and what subjective meanings the author voices; it is a process of logical presentation of arguments (narration). The highly professional narrator uses narration as a “method of organizing discourse” around facts and impressions, impresses with his political erudition, extraordinary intelligence and creativity. Some of the above theses are reflected in the following illustrations from the Ukrainian media: “Culture outside politics” – a pro-Russian narrative…” (MP Gabibullayeva); “The next will be Russia – in the post-Soviet space is the Arab Spring…” (journalist Vitaly Portnikov); “In Russia, only the collapse of Ukraine will be perceived as success” (Pavel Klimkin); “Our army is fighting, hiding from the leadership” (Yuri Butusov).

Abstract:

Dominant narratives promoting economic growth at the expense of state institutions and basic social services have long underpinned a neoliberal model of spiralling debt and austerity in the MENA region. This exacerbates political capture and inequality and takes shape in an environment of media concentration and shrinking civic space. It is important for change movements to understand dominant narratives in order to challenge and shift them. With the right tools, civil society organizations, activists, influencers and alternative media can start changing the myths and beliefs which frame the socio-economic debate and predetermine which policy options are accepted as possible and legitimate, and which are not.

Abstract:

This paper explores the political economy of the groundnut value chain in Malawi. The paper uses a combination of insights from the theoretical perspectives of political settlement, rents and policymaking to examine this value chain. Fused together, these theoretical perspectives underpin a political economy analysis framework, which entails systematically mapping all key actors in an issue area; identifying their interests and recognising their forms of power (political, economic, social, and ideological); understanding their relationships with each other; and appreciating the issues, narratives, and ideas that shape how and why they interact with each other.

Tyson, Paul. Orchestrated Irrationality: Why It Exists and How It Might Be Resisted. Mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation, May 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55405/mwp13en.

Full text

Abstract:

Orchestrated irrationality in our public discourse is produced by technologically enhanced and commercially purposed atomization and tribalism. Public discourse now leans away from a humane, free, and reasoned political rationality and towards self-interested, calculative, herd conformism. The bulls and bears of consumer society have largely displaced the civic logic of the liberal democratic pursuit of the common good. The power interests that govern global consumerism are enhanced by subordinating the common good ends of genuinely political life to the self-interested and profit driven dynamics of the market. Orchestrated irrationality in our public discourse makes politics into a meaningless theatre of incommensurate tribal interest narratives, which is a convenient distraction from the collaborative consolidation of market power and state control. This orchestrated irrationality can only be combatted by seeking to de-atomize citizens and de-tribalize the public square in order to recover the priority of political life over market and authoritarian power in our public discourse. That is, a postcapitalist civilization that is oriented to a genuinely political and universally moral rationality must replace the present global order. Once we can identify the problem and the direction of cure for orchestrated irrationality, we can then take steps towards a different civilizational life-world.

Living Through a Pandemic: Competing Covid-19 Narratives in Rural Zimbabwe. Institute of Development Studies, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ids.2022.058.

Full text

Abstract:

Through a real time analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic across rural Zimbabwe, this Working Paper explores the competing narratives that framed responses and their politics. Based on 20 moments of reflection over two years, together with ongoing document and media analysis and an intensive period of qualitative interviewing, a complex, dynamic story of the pandemic ‘drama’ emerges, which contrasts with snapshot perspectives. Across the period, a science-led public health narrative intersects with a security and control narrative promoted by the state and is countered by a citizens’ narrative that emphasises autonomy, independence, and local innovation. The politics of this contestation over narratives about appropriate pandemic responses are examined over three periods – reflecting different waves of infection – and in relation to two conjunctures – an early, strict lockdown and the rollout of vaccines. Different narratives gain ascendancy and overlap at different times, but a local citizen-led narrative emerges strongly in the context of heavy-handed lockdowns, inadequate state capacity, and struggles around rural livelihoods. The pandemic has reshaped relationships between the state and citizens in important ways, with self-reliance rooted in local resilience central to local pandemic responses.

Full text

Abstract:

This policy note outlines core findings from a case study of the experiences of approximately 200 Rwandans as they left prison or community service camp and returned to their communities. Specifically, it relies upon interviews with each of these individuals before, 6 months after, and again 1 year after their release—as well as interviews with over 100 community members. Although reentry and reintegration are multifaceted processes, this policy note focuses on identity, rituals, and narratives with an emphasis on initial reentry, which sets the stage for broader reintegration. In doing so, the note highlights insights that are relevant to reentry and reintegration following not only genocide but also mass violence, war, insurgency, violent extremism, and other forms of political violence. It simultaneously recognizes, however, that the case of Rwanda has exceptional elements and addresses these elements throughout.

Full text

Abstract:

The middle class, or rather middle classes, to do justice to their heterogeneity, have been and continue to be at the centre of the long political and economic crisis that has been ravaging Brazil since 2014. Available interpretations that try to explain the positions taken by different political authors are biased by structural, ideological, or cultural determinism. To escape these determinisms, I draw on Stuart Hall’s political sociology in order to understand the link between the class situation of the middle classes and their constitution as political subjects of various shades as contingent intersectional articulations. The emphasis on contingency obviously does not imply a belief that political developments are fortuitous and detached from social structures. Nor does it ignore the existence of groups with deeply held ideological or cultural convictions who consistently adopt, over long periods of time, political attitudes compatible with these beliefs. However, taken as a whole, the middle classes have shown a very heterogeneous and changing political trajectory over time. They adhere to discourses - both right-wing or more egalitarian ones - and make political choices based on the power of these narratives to capture, in given circumstances, their anxieties, expectations, claims and aspirations.

Full text

Abstract:

In the housing literature, Sweden is often portrayed as a so-called “cost-rental” society associated with tenure neutrality, where rental housing should be an attractive alternative – and not just a step in the way – to homeownership. A large and well-developed rental sector has traditionally made it possible for young adults to leave their family home at a relatively young age. However, this logic has been clearly disrupted as rental housing has become harder to access and homeownership has been favoured by incremental ideological political shifts and fiscal policy encouraging homeownership. As more households – also young ones – are steered into homeownership, Sweden has become one of the most mortgage-indebted nations in the OECD. This working paper on homeownership and mortgagization takes on the question of mortgaged indebtedness in discourse and practice. The working paper is the joint product of two different studies written as part of the research internship in the project “Financialisation of everyday life. Intersectional perspectives on housing and labor precarity” at Malmö university, led by Chiara Valli. In the first section, Neil Dunne presents a discourse analysis on how homeownership has been discussed in the largest newspapers in Sweden over the last decades, while Greta Cattabriga and Nathan O’Néill in the second section discuss perceptions and lived experiences of mortgaged homeownership on the basis of interviews with young adults. Put together, the two studies contribute with significant additions to the discussion about whether Sweden is moving towards a homeownership society and what the potential consequences are for young adults.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper explores the landscape of repressive politics in the three Central Asian states of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan with an emphasis on the phase of “transformative violence” and the patterns of inconsistent repression. It argues that repressions alone cannot guarantee the longevity of authoritarian regimes. It is for this reason that the Central Asian authoritarian leaders consistently come up with discursive justifications of repression, not least through portraying it as a necessary tool for progress or security. While the new Central Asian leaders’ discourses are characterized by liberal narratives, the illiberal practices keep prevailing across these countries.
