How do people make sense of distant but disturbing international
events? Why are some representations more appealing than others?
What do they mean for the perceiver's own sense of self? Going
beyond conventional analysis of political perception and imagining
at the level of accuracy, this book reveals how self-conceptions
are unconsciously, but centrally present in our judgments and
representations of international crises.Combining international
relations and psychosocial studies, Dmitry Chernobrov shows how the
imagining of international politics is shaped by the need for
positive and continuous societal self-concepts. The book captures
evidence of self-affirming political imagining in how the general
public in the West and in Russia understood the Arab uprisings
(also known as the Arab Spring) and makes an argument both about
and beyond this particular case. The book will appeal to those
interested in international crises, political psychology, media and
audiences, perception and political imagining, ontological
security, identity and emotion, and collective memory.
