Description: Slušanje priča širi maštu; njihovo prepričavanje nam omogućava da preskočimo kulturološke zidove, prigrlimo različita iskustva, osećamo ono što drugi osećaju. Elif Šafak (Elif Shafak) na ovom jednostavnom primeru gradi ideju da mašta može da prevaziđe politički identitet.

Elif Šafak: Politika mašte

Fiction opens hearts and minds, allowing people to cross cultural and personal boundaries that identity politics often reinforces. From an introverted child in Ankara to a writer navigating multiple languages and expectations, the speaker shows how stories connect us in ways labels and stereotypes cannot. When an earthquake forced a conservative grocer and a transvestite to share a cigarette, for a moment, all differences faded. Stories, like circles, expand our empathy and imagination, letting us glimpse lives beyond our own.
