Political Narratosophy Senka Anastasova by Senka Anastasova; instant download after payment.
Political Narratosophy offers a critically subversive rethinking of the political and philosophical significance of narrative, and why feminist epistemology and feminist social theory matters for the meaning of the "self" and narrativity. Through a re-examination of the notions of democracy and emancipation, Senka Anastasova coins the term political narratosophy', a unique interpretation of the philosophy of narrative, identification, and disidentification, developed in conversation with philosophers Jacques Rancire, Nancy Fraser, and Paul Ricoeur. Utilizing the author's own identity as a feminist political philosopher has lived in socialist Yugoslavia, post-Yugoslavia, and Macedonia (now North Macedonia), Anastasova explores the fluctuating and disappearing borders around which identity is situated in a country that no longer exists. She expertly reveals how the subject finds, makes, and unmakes itself through narrativity, politics, and imagination. Political Narratosophy is an important intervention in political philosophy and a welcome contribution to the historiography on female authors who lived through twentieth-century communism and its aftermath. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of political philosophy, political theory, philosophy, feminist political philosophy, feminist epistemology, women's studies, international relations, identity studies, (comparative) literary studies, and aesthetics studies. Senka Anastasova is a philosopher, university professor of philosophy and aesthetics, and one of the leading young generations of feminist political philosophers from post-Yugoslavia. With her international work in the fields of political philosophy, feminist political philosophy and epistemology, and philosophy of arts, she holds the position of full professor of philosophy at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje. Anastasova is a director and founder of the Research Centre of Social Sciences and Arts.
