| Title | From Homer to Hulu: The Power of Storytelling in International Relations |
| Summary | Storytelling has long been a source of knowledge in society, from antiquity to the modern day. This project seeks to clearly outline the power that storytelling holds in International Relations based on prevailing theories, including classical realism, structuralism, and constructivism, as well as situate storytelling as a valid source of knowledge production in IR. By examining stories from Greek antiquity, early European modernity, and the present day, the project attempts to show that stories’ ability to address reality thematically as opposed to scientifically allows it to exert power on the international scene through normative, transformative and categorial means. This thematic approach, prominent in antiquity, becomes prominent again in a post-truth society. |
