Focusing on Paris in the twenty-first century, Emine Fisek analyzes the use of theater by immigrant-rights organizations there and examines the relationship between aesthetic practices and the political personhoods they negotiate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From neighborhood associations and humanitarian alliances to arts organizations both large and small, Fisek traces how theater has emerged as a practice with the perceived capacity to address questions regarding immigrant rights, integration, and experience. In \u003ci\u003eAesthetic Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e, she explores how the stage, one of France's most evocative cultural spaces, has come to play a role in contemporary questions about immigration, citizenship and national identity. Yet Fişek's insightful research also illuminates Paris's broader historical, political, and cultural through-lines that continue to shape the relationship between theater and migration in France. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By focusing on how French public discourses on immigration are not only rendered meaningful but also inhabited and modified in the context of activist and arts practice, \u003ci\u003eAesthetic Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to answer the fundamental question: is theater a representational act or can it also be a transformative one?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emine Fisek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810135663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810135666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Emine Fisek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072799830271,"sku":"9780810135666","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a089f0a-ba5d-4e01-a169-7fd11927c8a1.jpg?v=1685444008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetic-citizenship-emine-fisek-9780810135666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
