What can political theory teach us about architecture, and what can
it learn from paying closer attention to architecture? The essays
assembled in this volume begin from a common postulate: that
architecture is not merely a backdrop to political life but a
political force in its own right. Each in their own way, they aim
to give countenance to that claim, and to show how our thinking
about politics can be enriched by reflecting on the built
environment. The collection advances four lines of inquiry, probing
the connection between architecture and political regimes;
examining how architecture can be constitutive of the ethical and
political realm; uncovering how architecture is enmeshed in logics
of governmentality and in the political economy of the city; and
asking to what extent we can think of architecture-tributary as it
is to the flows of capital-as a partially autonomous social force.
Taken together, the essays demonstrate the salience of a range of
political theoretical approaches for the analysis of architecture,
and show that architecture deserves a place as an object of study
in political theory, alongside institutions, laws, norms,
practices, imaginaries, and discourses.
