Is democracy spatial? How are the physical aspects of our cities,
houses, streets, and public spaces - the borders, the
neighborhoods, the monuments - bearers of our values? In a world of
intensifying geo-economic integration, extreme fi nancial and
geopolitical volatility, deepening environmental crises, and a
dramatic new wave of popular protest against both authoritarian
government and capitalist speculation, cities have become leading
sites for new claims on state power and new formations of political
subjectivity. This volume brings together perspectives from
history, sociology, art, political theory, planning, law, and
design practice to explore the urban spaces of the political. A
selection of contemporary photography from around the world offers
a visual refl ection of this timely investigation. Contributors
include: Michael Arad, Diane Davis, Keller Easterling, Gerald Frug,
Mohsen Mostafavi, Chantal Mouffe, Erika Naginski, Saskia Sassen,
Richard Sennett, Loic Wacquant, Krzysztof Wodiczko.
