How can human beings acknowledge and experience the burdens of
political responsibility? Why are we tempted to flee them, and how
might we come to affirm them? Jade Larissa Schiff calls this
experience of responsibility 'the cultivation of responsiveness'.
In Burdens of Political Responsibility: Narrative and the
Cultivation of Responsiveness, she identifies three dispositions
that inhibit responsiveness - thoughtlessness, bad faith, and
misrecognition - and turns to storytelling in its manifold forms as
a practice that might facilitate and frustrate it. Through critical
engagements with an unusual cast of characters (from Bourdieu to
Sartre) hailing from a variety of disciplines (political theory,
phenomenology, sociology, and literary criticism), she argues that
how we represent our world and ourselves in the stories we share,
and how we receive those stories, can facilitate and frustrate the
cultivation of responsiveness.
