Bøker av Davide Panagia

Attending to diverse practices of everyday living and doing-of form, style, and scenography-in Jacques Ranciere's writings, Davide Panagia explores Ranciere's aesthetics of politics as it informs his radical democratic theory of participation.

Reckoning the unsettled relationship between aesthetics and politics

Davide Panagia's Impressions of Hume: Cinematic Thinking and the Politics of Discontinuity is volume fifteen of Modernity and Political Thought, the Rowman & Littlefield series in contemporary political theory.

A work of political theory arguing that sensation-the taste of chocolate, the noise of a crowd, the visual impressions of film images-plays a crucial role of political life.

Illuminates the under-appreciated role of aesthetic concepts and devices - such as metaphor, mimesis, and the sublime - in structuring the thought of political figures from Thomas Hobbes to Jacques Ranciere. This work sheds light on how modes of poetic thinking delimit the questions of unity and diversity.
