Political constructivism, the view that political phenomena are causally, constitutively, and discursively constructed, may provide a powerful antidote to affective polarization by radically altering the way partisan perceive political reality. By first providing a more complex understanding of polarization and partisanship, I discuss some researched approaches to intervening in affective polarization. These interventions prioritize strategies that address partisan&#8217;s emotional or cognitive tendences, which treat the symptoms of polarization and often have only short-term impacts following employment. The intervention I motivate in this talk draws upon insights from contemporary social theory and Madhyamaka Buddhist philosophy, which when combined, argue that realizing the constructed and dependent nature of phenomena alleviates our hostilities and attachments. Changing our political perception, how we see our political world, may more reliably change our political affect. I consider some challenges, limitations, and possible strategies for a constructivist intervention.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El pr\u00f3ximo lunes 7 de septiembre a las 11:30 tendr\u00e1 lugar en la Sala de Juntas de Filosof\u00eda la charla \u00abDepolarizing and Dependent Arising: Motivating a Constructivist Intervention for Affective Polarization\u00bb impartida por Jason Tosta (University of Connecticut).
