MASTERS OF PEACE IF THE BODY POLITIC COULD BR...

This book posits that the 'refugee crisis' may actually be a crisis of identity in a rapidly
changing world. It argues that Western conceptions of the individual 'Self' shape metaphors of
political homes  and thus the geopolitics of belonging and exclusion. Metzger-Traber creatively
re-conceives political belonging by perceiving the interconnection of each 'Self' through its
most immediate home - the breathing body. On an experimental literary journey through her own
past and that of Germany  she puts political philosophy in conversation with somatic and
spiritual insight to expand notions of 'Self' and 'Home'. Then she asks: What ethical
imperatives arise? What kinds of homes and homelands would we create if we no longer thought we
ended at our skin?
