Care and the transformative potential of ethics
chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 05:17 authored by Sarah ScuzzarelloSarah Scuzzarello, Catarina Kinnvall, Kristen Renwick MonroeThe final chapter interweaves the volume’s major themes and argues that the political psychology of real or perceived violence in a global world calls for new approaches for understanding the collective experience of diversity, violence, and ethics and the shaping of subjectivity. The chapter calls for the importance of adopting a relational understanding of the self whereby self and identity acquire meaning through constant interactions with others and contexts. It is also argued that globalization enables meetings with previously faraway others, which may lead to questioning one’s own convictions and conceptions of the self. The establishment of transformative dialogues between members of allegedly antagonistic groups, and particular attention to both the psychological underpinnings of closure and antagonistic relations and their structural causes can be conceived of as analytical tools to further our understanding of group closure and conflict. But they can also be important instruments if we are to seriously grasp the promotion of social courage, pro-social behavior, tolerance, care, and altruism.
