Explores the political force of aesthetic experience and the role space plays in politics. This book argues that politics is about forms of perceiving the world and modes of relating to it. It offers an understanding of politics based on apprehension and revelation.
Focusing on the works of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Rancière, Space, Politics and Aesthetics reveals the aesthetic premises that underlie their political thinking, and demonstrates how their conceptualisations of politics depend on the construction and apprehension of worlds through spatial forms and distributions. Mustafa Dikeç explores these dimensions of the political and argues that politics is about forms of perceiving the world and modes of relating to it, with space as a form of appearance and a mode of actuality, and the disruption of such forms and modes as the sublime element in politics.
