Biography/History:

Rigamonti Nora : Nora Rigamonti promovierte an der Technischen Universität Berlin zu verschiedenen Verbindungsformen von politischen und ästhetischen Praktiken sowie zu damit einhergehenden in(ter)ventiven demokratischen Praktiken. Seit 2019 forscht sie als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin zunächst am Lehrstuhl für Politik-und Governancesoziologie der Technischen Universität Berlin und anschließend am Lehrstuhl für Wirtschafts-und Arbeitssoziologie der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg in transdisziplinären Citizen-Science-Projekten.

Summary:

Are aesthetics and politics really two different things? The book takes a new look at how they intertwine, by turning from theory to practice. Case studies trace how sensory experiences are created and how collective interests are shaped. They investigate how aesthetics and politics are entangled, both in building and disrupting collective orders, in governance and innovation. This ranges from populist rallies and artistic activism over alternative lifestyles and consumer culture to corporate PR and governmental policies. Authors are academics and artists. The result is a new mapping of the intermingling and co-constitution of aesthetics and politics in engagements with collective orders.
