| Description | 'What author wants to work towards in this thesis is a problematization of a kind of relating in terms of recognition and categorization in order to work towards a different mode of relating to what is new and other: a relating that is no longer appropriating or fixing of what it relates to but a relating is characterized by an ‘openness’ towards what is different. The turn to the notion of the unimaginable is a means by which she tries to envision the kind of relating to the new and the other. What is unimaginable cannot be appropriated in familiar terms: the unimaginable can not be explained or described. As soon as we do, it turns into what is imaginable. This is what inspires the different relating towards the new that is proposed in this thesis. In order to provoke a more open and generous approach towards difference, the main question this thesis concentrates on is how to envision a different relating towards the new by means of an ethics of the unimaginable.' |
