Abstract Abstract
Narratives are essentially understood as ‘stories’, but they have a role which is more complex and more engaging in creating conditions for consciousness. In this globalized world, it has been made possible to establish a global economy at a larger scale thanks to the force of science and technology. The political events that are shaping our perspectives today have made us accept and reconcile with the fact that that even global political calculations are also made possible. But, it is still impossible to have a global political consciousness. This paper proposes to look at the reasons from diverge perspectives why it has been impossible to create a kind of global consciousness in political level. Towards creating a global political consciousness, we need to encourage narratives from multiple perspectives. Narratives are not merely story-telling, but a cultural way of understanding, analysing, critiquing, debating and more specifically questioning issues and matters related to life, society, politics, State and its apparatus which regulates our lives and our modes of thinking in subliminal levels. Fundamental questions of race, belonging and community that are raised through narratives help us develop consciousness which is needed to have a humane understanding of the world beyond the boundaries. But, it is also important to realize that narratives are not just what has been narrated. There are also narratives which go un- narrated, suppressed, unknown and silenced. These suppressed, fragmented, unorganized, illogical and deeply confusing narratives can be understood only from the points views of the contexts which rendered the victims voiceless or mute. This paper examines the scope of such narratives in creating consciousness and it also explores why narratives can’t be understood from universal perspectives.
