Den politiske fortælling
POLITOLOGISKE
STUDIER - ÅRG. 4 NR. 3 - FILM OG POLITIK -OKTOBER 2001
The
political narrative - which is not a fixed genre - tends to idealize
and aesthetisize the oneness of state and nation, and thus to
present political figures, events and processes in a non-political
form. It revolves around the ideal of the national-democratic
"We", in the process naturalizing and ethnisizing it, and
serving a number of legitimizing and humanizing functions.
Typically, however, it will do this in the form of critiques of the
actual political state of affairs, by confronting it with its
utopian counterpart, and whilst employing a number of fixed
narrative topoi. Though the core political narrative thus still
hinges on the humanizing face of an ideal politics of identity, in
today's world it is increasingly being challenged by two others, the
European and the global. It is argued, however, that these
narratives are not to be seen as serious competitors to the national
fiction, the former being too engineered and the latter being
largely an alternative variant to the nation/state-nexus.
