Episode 4: Time Talk, Narratives and the End of the World

In this episode, Michel and Keri discuss with Nomi Claire Lazar and Andy Hom, two leading scholars in political science, the relations between our experience of time, identity, political beliefs and extremism. Hosts and Guests • Michel Alhadeff-Jones (Executive Director, Sunkhronos Institute, Switzerland) • Keri Facer (Professor of Educational and Social Futures, University of Bristol, UK) • Nomi Claire Lazar (Professor of Politics, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa, Canada) • Andy Hom (Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University of Edinburgh, UK) Summary In this episode, Michel and Keri discuss with Nomi Claire Lazar and Andy Hom, two leading scholars in political science, the relations between our experience of time, identity, political beliefs and extremism. Together, they explore the connections between time and the narratives we produce to give meaning to the complexity of our existence. The need to be able to relate past, present and future is probably a core feature of the human condition, especially when people feel they evolve in a time of crisis or uncertainty. The narratives people develop to orientate and project themselves through the time of their existence – and throughout history – express as much their core beliefs as they translate their deep hopes and fears. Such narratives express who we are and how we compose our identity in a world perceived as uncertain. They become even more powerful when they explicitly relate to the end of the world. They carry a heavy political weight that influences the ways people envision what they can or cannot do.
