Abstract

Abstract The triggers of the polarization dynamic are embedded within our ordinary social spaces. Our day-to-day lives expose us to forces that undermine our democratic capacities. To manage that exposure, we need occasionally to remove ourselves from our typical social surroundings. But we must also distance ourselves from the conceptual and ideological constraints of current partisanship. To manage polarization, then, we need sometimes to engage in solitary reflection that is insulated from triggers of partisan identity. This calls not only for non-commercial spaces where we can be alone with our thoughts, but also access to materials that confront us with political perspectives that are not readily translatable into our partisan idiom.
