Michael Feola engages both critical theory and unruly political movements to challenge familiar anxieties about the intersection of politics and aesthetics. He shows how perception, sensibility, and feeling may contribute vital resources for conceptualizing citizenship, agency, and those spectacles that increasingly define global protest culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Feola provides insightful engagements with the works of Adorno, Foucault, and Rancière as well as a survey of contemporary debates on aesthetics and politics. He uses this aesthetic framework to develop a more robust account of political agency, demonstrating that politics is not reducible to the exchange of views or the building of institutions, but rather incorporates public modes of feeling, seeing, and hearing (or \u003ci\u003enot-seeing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003enot-hearing\u003c\/i\u003e). These sensory modes must themselves be transformed in the work of emancipatory politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book explores the core question: what does the aesthetic offer that is missing from the official languages of politics, citizenship, and power? Of interest to readers in the fields of critical theory, political theory, continental philosophy, and aesthetics, \u003ci\u003eThe Powers of Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e roots itself within the classical tradition of critical theory and yet uses these resources to speak to a variety of contemporary political movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Feola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810137461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810137462\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 07\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2019","brand":"Michael Feola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096744501503,"sku":"9780810137462","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-powers-of-sensibility-michael-feola-9780810137462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
