In this timely intervention, Dean Caivano and Sarah Naumes argue that storytelling in the form of narrative and autoethnography creates an emancipatory potential through its ability to theorize from below, welcoming marginalized and excluded voices. Drawing from the disciplines of political studies, philosophy and literary studies, this volume offers a new assessment of political texts through the lens of the sublime as a fertile terrain to challenge who can write and disseminate political ideas ? and how. 410 0$aEdition Politik 517 2 $aCaivano/Naumes, The Sublime of the Political$eNarrative and Autoethnography as Theory 606 $aRadical Democracy 606 $aAesthetic Theory 606 $aNarrative 606 $aAutoethnography 606 $aMethodology 606 $aPolitics 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPolitical Science 615 4$aRadical Democracy 615 4$aAesthetic Theory 615 4$aNarrative 615 4$aAutoethnography 615 4$aMethodology 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aPolitical Theory 615 4$aPolitical Science 676 $a320.01 700 $aCaivano$b Dean$p
