Articulating critical geography with a politics of aesthetics, the work crosses disciplinary boundaries and provides an innovative intervention into contemporary social theory.--Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i What if political action is the very invention of space? And what if we were to see this making of space as a work of art and imagination? With an artistry of his own, Mustafa Dike� brings Arendt, Nancy and Ranci�re into conversation with ordinary people shaping their own everyday worlds. The warmest of invitations into challenging political thought, Space, Politics, and Aesthetics is a celebration of the sheer joy of bringing shared spaces into being.--Nigel Clark, Lancaster University
