Alan Bainbridge et al., « 3. Narratives of Fundamentalism, Negative Capability and the Democratic Imperative », Open Book Publishers, ID : 10670/1.3whloj
Alan Bainbridge and Linden West offer a theoretical discussion of (mainly) contemporary British society with particular reference to Stoke-on-Trent, the home of the Workers’ Education Association and a city still struggling to adjust following the decline of the pottery industry. They posit the growth of fundamentalism as a search for certainties and propose that Keats’ notion of negative capability (the ability to accept uncertainty) may offer an alternative lens.
