The Politics of Intimacy: Exploring the Intersections of Policies and Emotions
The Institute of International Relations Prague and the journal New Perspectives would like to cordially invite you to a seminar with Dr. Anna Durnová. In her research, Dr. Durnová explores how emotions inform particular arguments or narratives leading to policies. The lenses of emotions reach beyond explanation through cultural or ethical/ideological imprints and offer a novel understanding of governing processes in the context of world politics, which has put in place novel power orders for Western liberal democracies. The talk will be broadly based on the forthcoming book by Dr. Durnová The Politics of Intimacy: Rethinking the End-of-Life Controversy.
