Rethinking the image as a pictorial space of political activity located between the poles of the creative imagination of the self and social imaginary significations of the social collective, her work has provided a critical new resource not only in the academy, but for activists as well. This collection of essays by leading scholars debates Bottici’s account of imaginal politics from inter-disciplinary perspectives, ranging from critical theory and political philosophy, to psychoanalysis, and sociology. It provides the first systematic and interdisciplinary engagement with the imaginal field. The book is a must-read for all scholars interested in debates on the political, social transformation, social imaginaries, and the imagination, and will appeal to researchers and graduate students across a wide variety of disciplines as well as activists and politically-engaged readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditorial introduction – Jeremy CA Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Imaginaries of Moral Freedom: On Chiara Bottici and Drucilla Cornell – Eduardo Mendieta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRethinking the Imaginal – María Pía Lara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevisiting Imaginal Politics: From Totalitarianism to Post-truth Democracies– Simona Forti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ontography of Images: On the Legal Art of the Imaginal – Peter Goodrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottici to the Letter – Jamieson Webster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraversing Lacan’s Imaginary with Bottici’s Imaginal – Patricia Gherovici\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslamic Politics of Imagination: The Case of the Muslim Brotherhood – Dietrich Jung and Ahmed Abou El Zalaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCivilizations in history and myth: considerations on the imaginary and the imaginal – Jeremy CA Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebating imaginal politics: a response – Chiara Bottici\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor biographies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042480357719,"sku":"9781786615039","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786615039.jpg?v=1750954320","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/debating-imaginal-politics-dialogues-with-chiara-bottici-9781786615039","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
