Imagination in Politics

Freedom or Domination?

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Imagination is a complex and ambiguous culture-making power that is a rather marginal concept in contemporary political theory. This book addresses how imagination can be both a source of freedom and domination in liberal-democratic politics and argues for a benign public employment of images and narratives in a global world of diverse cultures.
