“…Then Vollrath and Fantel (1977) stated that Arendt was a political thinker with a unique position with original political thought and could not be compared to anyone. The narrative approach in Arendt's version of storytelling, according to Vasterling (2007), is always related to hermeneutical philosophical or behavioral phenomenology methods. Santos (2011) considers Arendt's conception of political theory as storytelling rather than seeking consensus but looking for an audience link in critical thinking about the issue by reviewing a different perspective.…”

This study explores the political storytelling network contestation of actors of the 2019 Indonesian presidential campaign using critical discursive psychology to analyze the speech of presidential candidates Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Prabowo Subianto. The main theoretical concept used is Hannah Arendt's storytelling and political action, which was delivered by Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto during the 2019 presidential election campaign. Critical discursive psychology is also used as a theoretical and methodological basis in this study with a critical paradigm and qualitative approach. The research data are the quotations of presidential candidates published by news outlets. An analysis of interpretations, subject positions, and ideological dilemmas showed that the contestation of the storytelling network of presidential candidates Jokowi and Prabowo leads to several areas of conflict, such as civilian leaders versus military leaders, leaders accused of being PKI (Indonesian Communist Party) versus leaders accused of supporting khilafah, patience versus angry leaders, and an independent leader versus a non-independent leader. From a critical discursive psychology perspective, the two politicians of the Indonesian nation showed opposite storytelling and represented them as candidates who fought to achieve victory. Storytelling was used as a tool for political personalization by Jokowi and Prabowo in order to build relationships with their voters and to create a social movement.

“…For example, Vasterling has accused Nussbaum of "methodological solipsism", arguing that the act of readingsolitary as it is -cannot have such moral significance as Nussbaum ascribes to it. Encounters with real people are very much different to encounters with literary characters and the latter cannot serve as "the matrix" for the former [61]. Eaglestone, in turn, criticized Nussbaum's naïve representational understanding of literature.…”

The aim of the paper is to show the relevance of Martha Nussbaum's capabilities approach to the two types of the crisis in pluralist thinking which we are currently facing. The paper adopts the perspective of political aesthetics, in that it analyzes the political significance of the aesthetic motifs in Nussbaum's project. The conclusion is that Nussbaum's conception allows us to appreciate the central importance of education based on arts and humanities. It is argued that only with such background can the respect for pluralism be permanently secured.

“…On the other hand, a plurality of views can help to keep the social fabric vital and vigorous [58], a diversity of stories concerning the same web of relationships, facts and events, will make this web more solid, more objective and more real [62].…”

“…They are ready for immersing themselves in the constructed stories and for connecting the uncertain future of nanotechnologies back to daily observed sociotechnical effects of established technologies. According to Martha Nussbaum [62] narratives may help ordinary people to focus on the complexities and ambiguities of human affairs and to reflect on emotional experience of real life moral dilemmas. This affords citizens insight into deeply held convictions and values, thereby offering them the chance to judge and clarify one's worldview and goals in life.…”

The main objective of the Flemish research project 'Nanotechnologies for tomorrow's society' (NanoSoc) is to develop and try out an interactive process as a suitable methodology for rendering nanoresearchers aware of underlying assumptions that guide nanotech research and integrating social considerations into the research choices they face. In particular, the NanoSoc process should sustain scientists' capacities to address growing uncertainties on the strategic, scientific and public acceptance level. The article elaborates on these uncertainties and involved dilemmas scientists are facing and proposes a process approach which addresses strategic uncertainty by alternating between 'visioning' and 'technology assessment'; a process design which manages complexity by promoting reflexivity among scientists by exposing them to deliberations in civil society (social experts, stakeholders, citizens) on plausible futures with nanotechnologies; and as an answer to societal ambivalence, certain process quality requirements such as an attitude of perplexity or openness towards 'plurality' and an attitude of 'temporary closure', both in support of understanding and learning from differences.
