Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Political Science (Arts and Sciences).
Imagination is used in the colloquial, everyday lives of people, where the concept functions as a detachment between the metaphysical and the physical. Imagination as a concept is therefore powerful, whereas Political Science and other fields use imagination more in the colloquial sense. This work seeks to illuminate the potential conceptual power of imagination in Political Science by analyzing the structure of imagination and its purpose, referring to imagination’s temporal characteristic, its roots in experience, and as a pathway to the many futures and the process of becoming that challenge normative reiterations. This claim changes Political Science by emphasizing the performative intention of invoking imaginative power in revolutionizing and rendering future possibilities that extend beyond the realm of normative functional power.
