Mustafa Dikec is Professor at the Ecole d'urbanisme de Paris. He is the author of 'Badlands of the Republic: Space, Politics and Urban Policy' (2007, Blackwell), and co-editor of 'Extending Hospitality: Giving Space, Taking Time' (2009, Edinburgh University Press). He is currently working on a book on urban revolts, 'Urban Rage' (Yale University Press), and completing a research project on the politics of time in 19th-century Paris.'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 Dikec brings Arendt, Nancy and Ranciere 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; 'Mustafa Dikec's "Space, Politics and Aesthetics" is philosophically profound, politically astute and conceptually powerful. Articulating critical geography with a politics of aesthetics, the work crosses disciplinary boundaries and provides an innovative intervention into contemporary social theory.'--Michael J. Shaprio, University of Hawai'i
