Summary

Visual images are everywhere in international politics. But how are we to understand them?

In Sensible Politics, William A. Callahan uses his expertise in theory and filmmaking to explore not only what visuals mean, but also how visuals can viscerally move and connect us in "affective communities of sense." The book's rich analysis of visual images (photographs, film, art) and visual artifacts (maps, veils, walls, gardens, cyberspace) shows how critical scholarship needs to push beyond issues of identity and security to appreciate the creative politics of social-ordering and world-ordering. Here "sensible politics" isn't just sensory, but looks beyond icons and ideology to the affective politics of everyday life. It challenges our Eurocentric understanding of international politics by exploring the meaning and impact of visuals from Asia and the Middle East.

Sensible Politics offers a unique approach to politics that allows us to not only think visually, but also feel visually - and creatively act visually for a multisensory appreciation of politics.

Profile Image for Mr. S. Mason

The long and repetitive intro, was so frustrating

I struggled to get past the first hour or so due to the continual boasting of the values and benefits of the book without getting into anything of substance and value. Very dissipointed.
