Sensible politics : visualizing international relations / William A. Callahan

By: Callahan, William APublication details: New York : Oxford University Press , 2020 Description: XVI, 345 p. : il. ; 24 cmISBN: 9780190071745 (hbk); 9780190071745 (pbk)Subject(s): Política internacional | GeopolíticaAbstract: Visual images are everywhere in international politics. But how are we to understand them? 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 explores the visual geopolitics of war, peace, migration, and empire through an analysis of photographs, films, and art. It then expands the critical gaze to consider how “visual artifacts”—maps, veils, walls, gardens, and cyberspace—are sensory spaces in which international politics is performed through encounters on the local, national, and world stages.
