This book asks, 'what are the implications of blurring genres for
the discipline of Political Science, and for Area Studies?' It
argues novelists and playwrights provide a better guide for
political scientists than the work of physicists. It restates the
intrinsic value of the Humanities and Social Sciences and builds
bridges between the two territories. The phrase blurring genres
covers both genres of thought and of presentation. Genres of
thought refers to such theoretical approaches as post
structuralism, cultural studies, and especially interpretive
thought. Part 1 explores genres of thought, focusing on the use of
narratives. Specific examples include the narratives of post-truth
political cultures; narratives in Canadian general elections;
autoethnography as a new research tool; and novels as a way of
understanding economic development. Part 2 emphasises genres of
presentation and focuses on the visual arts. The chapters cover:
photography in British political history, the architecture of
American statehouses and city halls, design, comics, and using the
creative arts to improve policy practice. This book is
interdisciplinary and should have an appeal beyond political
science to area studies specialists and others in the humanities.
It is an advanced text, so it is aimed primarily at academics and
postgraduates.
