Aesthetics and world politics
Bleiker, Roland.

Aesthetics and world politics[electronic resource] /Roland Bleiker. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - 271 p. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- The Aesthetic Turn in International Political Theory-- Art after 9/11 -- The Sublime Nature of Global Politics -- Poetic World Politics -- Poetry after Auschwitz -- Poetic Resistance to Cold War Politics -- Come See the Blood in the Streets -- Poetics and the Politics of Memory -- The Poetic Search for Identity and Community.

Is it trivial, or perhaps even irresponsible, to explore aesthetic themes at a time when the world is engulfed by war, genocide, terrorism,poverty, climate change and financial turmoil? Why indulge in painting, poetry or music when lives and livelihoods are at stake? Can we really afford to entertain questions of taste while concrete political action is urgently required? This book offers apassionate but systematically sustained defence of an aesthetic engagement with world politics. It argues that aesthetic sources can offer alternative insight: a type of reflective understanding thatemerges not from applying the analytical skills that are central the social sciences, but from cultivating a more open-ended level of creativity and sensibility about the political. We then might be able to appreciate what we otherwise cannot even see: perspectives or people excluded from prevailing purviews, for instance, or the emotional nature and consequences of political events. Drawing on detailed case studies that range from Stalinist Russia to Cold War Germany and contemporary Korea, the author compellingly demonstrates how the poetic imagination can help us understand - and perhaps even shape - some of the most difficult political challenges.
