The Aesthetics of Rule and Resistance
Effective visual communication has become an essential strategy for grassroots political activists, who use images to publicly express resistance and make their claims visible in the struggle for political power. However, this “aesthetics of resistance” is also employed by political and economic elites for their own purposes, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish from the “aesthetics of rule.” Through illuminating case studies of street art in Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Caracas, and Mexico City, The Aesthetics of Rule and Resistance explores the visual strategies of persuasion and meaning-making employed by both rulers and resisters to foster self-legitimization, identification, and mobilization.
Broken Solidarities
Felix Anderl’s book is a stimulating analysis of the decline of the social movement against the World Bank and the rise of a new form of transnational rule. The book observes international organizations and social movements in their interaction, demonstrating how social movements are divided and ruled in the absence of a ruler.

Essays on the use, and misuse, of the Middle Ages for political aims.
Post-Digital Cultures of the Far Right
How have digital tools and networks transformed the far right's strategies and transnational prospects? This volume presents a unique critical survey of the online and offline tactics, symbols and platforms that are strategically remixed by contemporary far-right groups in Europe and the US. It features thirteen accessible essays by an international range of expert scholars, policy advisors and activists who offer informed answers to a number of urgent practical and theoretical questions: How and why has the internet emboldened extreme nationalisms? What counter-cultural approaches should civil societies develop in response?
Dada Data
What is the relevance of Dada and its artistic strategies in our current moment, one marked by post-truth politics, information floods and big data? How can contemporary art highlight the neglected nuances of cultural representation in the present day? While it may feel like we are living in a period of anomaly with the rise of the alt-right, this book shows how the Dada movement's artistic response to the aggressive nationalism and fascism of its time offers a fruitful analogy to our contemporary era. Dada's counter-cultural strategies, such as the distortion of reality and attacks on elites and rationality, have long been endorsed by artistic avantgardes and subcultures. Dada Data details ...
Visualität und Weltpolitik
Jeden Tag erreichen uns Bilder, Fotos und Videos über Konflikte und Krisen, die unsere Vorstellung und unser (vermeintliches) Wissen über Weltpolitik prägen. Die sprichwörtliche „Macht der Bilder“ und die Bedeutung von Visualität sind unter den Bedingungen moderner, globalisierter Kommunikation unzweifelhaft gestiegen. Die Flut an visuellen Daten stellt die Politikwissenschaft allgemein und insbesondere die Disziplin der Internationalen Beziehungen jedoch vor grundlegende theoretische, methodologische und forschungspraktische Herausforderungen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes adressieren diese Herausforderungen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und bieten Leser*innen Einblicke in die Theorie und Praxis der Analyse von Visualität und Weltpolitik.
Re-Activating Critical Thinking in the Midst of Necropolitical Realities
This volume takes as its starting point the question of whether there is a pluriversal generation, a younger group of scholars who do not necessarily collaborate or know each other, but who are currently forming a radical structure that is viral in thought production and reflective on the current global recalibration of social relations, brought about by the necropolitical and necrocapitalist governmentality emerging worldwide. The 23 articles assembled in this volume transcend geographical boundaries, conceive of the world as a single entity, and develop strategies for radical change. They are presented in five subchapters with two lines of demarcation, one for entry, invention, and potentiality, and the other for a grim threshold.
Visual Citizenship
This book explores visual political engagement online – how citizens participate in the dynamism of life in society by expressing their opinions and emotions on various issues of democratic life in image-based social media posts, independently of collective actions. Looking beyond large digital social movements to focus on the everyday, the book provides a well-documented and comprehensive framework of key notions, concrete methods and examples of empirical insights into everyday visual citizenship on social media. It shows how the visual has become ubiquitous in citizens’ communication on social media, focusing on how citizens use visual content to express their emotions and opinions on social media platforms when they discuss politics in a large sense. With this book, every reader interested in political communication, visual communication and/or new media is fully equipped to analyse everyday visual citizenship on social media platforms.

Zwischen Feindsetzung und Selbstviktimisierung
Populistische Kommunikation ist geprägt durch Rhetoriken, Bilder, Dramaturgien und Inszenierungsweisen, die auf die Affekte und Gefühle ihrer Adressaten zielen. Dieser Band nimmt die medienästhetische und performative Dimension zeitgenössischer und historischer Varianten des Populismus in den Blick. Die Beiträge analysieren die Formatierungen populistischer Kommunikationsakte in sozialen Netzwerken, in Nachrichtenmedien, Kinofilmen und populären Fernseh- bzw. Internetformaten im Spannungsfeld von Feindsetzung und Selbstviktimisierung.
