Space, Politics and Aesthetics by Mustafa Dike
Mustafa Dikec reveals the aesthetic premises that underlie Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Ranciere's political thinking, and demonstrates how their politics depend on the construction and apprehension of worlds through spatial forms and distributions.
Mustafa Dikeç’s Space, Politics and Aesthetics is philosophically profound, politically astute and conceptually powerfulArticulating critical geography with a politics of aesthetics, the work crosses disciplinary boundaries and provides an innovative intervention into contemporary social theory. -- Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i
What if political action is the very invention of space? And what if we were to see this making of space as a work of art and imagination? With an artistry of his own, Mustafa Dikeç brings Arendt, Nancy and Rancière into conversation with ordinary people shaping their own everyday worlds. The warmest of invitations into challenging political thought, Space, Politics, and Aesthetics is a celebration of the sheer joy of bringing shared spaces into being. -- Nigel Clark, Lancaster University
