Title: | Historical Action and Narrative in the Context of Historiography in Ricoeur and Ranciere | Authors: | Gürsoy, A. Özgür | Abstract: | The argument of this study is that a critical encounter between the ‘historiographical’ texts of Ricoeur and Rancière on the theme of historical action and narrative provides us with a fruitful approach to the political stakes of the act of writing history. More specifically, I claim that attention to how these two authors frame narrative agency in the construction of our identities in history reveals two points of salience that give orientation to our attitude toward history, namely, disruption and harmony. Framing history as a problem in this way makes visible the centrality of how to conceive agency within the two poles of modern existence: on the one hand, statistical regularities that govern behavior in the form of impersonal forces and, on the other, individual projects, the trajectories of which form a coherent life (and define autonomy for the subject). The merit of narrative history is to bridge these poles; but it thereby occludes the antagonisms characteristic of modernity. It is in order to make these visible that we need a disruptive attention to the way narratives are constructed retrospectively. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.53844/flsf.1430127 https://search.trdizin.gov.tr/yayin/detay/1234724 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14365/5394 |
