Rezensionen

"After a breathtaking look at the way that narrativity is thought about in critical western philosophy and feminism, using Rancière, Fraser, and Ricoeur's work in particular, Senka Anastasova subversively juxtaposes these concepts to critical theory and feminist political philosophy in the context of the former and post-Yugoslavia. Anastasova explores how losing the country and political system that gave birth and life to her as an author, offers a radically different perspective on thinking about narrative and identity in the present. Coming from a country that doesn't exist anymore, will by definition create very different understandings of narrativity than from anyone from a country whose existence was never in doubt. In this highly original and deeply thoughtful book, Anastasova questions hegemonic understandings of narrativity and identity, offering that both have forms that resist rather than reproduce political power systems. As an author who lives between South Eastern Europe and California, Anastasova in Political Narratosophy is looking for a form of narrativity that is called for by critical theory from Western Europe and North America, and practiced in the East. In doing so, she includes her own powerful and subversive narrating voice which is perforce in motion."

James Martel, Professor of Political Theory and Anarchist Politics, San Francisco State University

"How do we narrate identity, experience, and life in a world we are never sure is real? Whether grappling with epistemological concerns in post-structuralist aesthetic theory or political memory in post-socialist Macedonia, Senka Anastasova never flinches from the challenge of thinking through and beyond the challenges to narrativity."

Jodi Dean, author of Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging

"Senka Anastasova's Political Narratosophy brilliantly explores the "transit zone" between the worlds of fiction and history, text and context, subject identification and disidentification. These transit zones are full of violence, relations of domination, and historical trauma, but also processes of resistance and emancipation. This book traces the fraught borderline between work and world in the writings of female authors living through the period of 20^th century communism and its aftermath."

Cristian Sorace, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge
