He reconstituted the field by opening it to an array of texts, performances, and methods previously considered beyond the purview of the discipline. His work addressed the relationship between dimensions of politics typically split apart - institutional power and cultural forms, material interests and symbolic meanings, class projects and identity politics, the public and the private. Rogin's scholarship enlarges our sense of the borders and genres defining political theory as a field and enriches our capacity to think critically and creatively about the political.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors have focused on three categories of substantive innovation: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemonology and Countersubversion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogin used the concepts \"countersubversive tradition\" and \"political demonology\" to theorize how constitutive exclusions and charged images of otherness generated imagined national community. He exposed not only the dynamics of suppressing and delegitimizing political opposition, but also how politics itself is devalued and displaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Psychic Life of Liberal Society\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogin addressed the essential contradiction in liberalism as both an ideology and a regime - how a polity professing equality, liberty, and pluralist toleration engages in genocide, slavery, and imperial war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolitical Mediation: Institutions and Culture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogin demonstrated how cultural forms - pervasive myths, literary and cinematic works - mediate political life, and how political institutions mediate cultural energies and aspirations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alyson Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138041858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138041851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Alyson Cole","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087695065343,"sku":"9781138041851","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9935d33c-4a4b-469e-9401-cfdf6301ae84.jpg?v=1769100886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michael-paul-rogin-alyson-cole-9781138041851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
