Contemplative Democracy (eBook, PDF)

Politics, Practice, and Pedagogy

Produktbeschreibung

In Contemplative Democracy, Shannon L. Mariotti explores how contemplative practices represent a form of world-building that is valuable for meaningful democracy and an overlooked form of ordinary political theory. Reimagining the work of political theory, employing feminist approaches, and with a focus on educational spaces and democratic modes of pedagogy, Mariotti examines contemplative practices as spaces where ordinary people do the work of democracy, creating new political imaginaries, finding new selves, and founding new states of being. Further, this book reveals how the larger body politic may be reshaped by the everyday work people do in their own bodies.
