What has Politics Got to do with Aesthetics?
How do we feel politics? How do we see it and emotionally relate to it? Symbols, monuments, rituals, movement and speech shapes how we understand and perceive politics. This is where we break away from the conventional understanding of politics and place ourselves as a subject to a sensory dimension of politics.
This session will explore what scholars of politics have to say about it.
