What have I written that is either about writing politics differently or is an example of writing politics differently? I want to say, 'nothing'. But that is not true. All of my notes of the past several years have been an attempt at this. They are diaries and reflections and rituals. They weren't written for the public. I want to eventually do something with them, but that's the form I am still seeking.
I have a fairy tale retelling of Arendt's essay on Isak Dinesen; I have A Bag of Terms: Notes on Benjamin, Arendt, and Le Guin on Storytelling that I presented to the group; I have a blog/newsletter Stories for the Earthbound I am trying to get up...
My dissertation and the three chapters published from it might count too. Although not explicitly addressed, they were all attempts to write political theory differently. To bring it closer to what I like about storytelling. Consequently, they are all more attempts at storytelling rather than analysing or explaining. They lack the structure of typical academic texts, verge on the lyrical, and try to enchant rather than explain. But they also explicitly try to make academic arguments

our writing includes the work of academic researchers and practitioners in different disciplines and at different stages of their careers. It documents that part of their work in which writing appears either as a topic (writing about writing), or as a communicative resource (writing differently).
