Offering a new, systematic understanding of the imaginal and its nexus with the political, Chiara Bottici brings fresh perspective to the formation of political and power relationships and the paradox of a world rich in imagery yet seemingly devoid of imagination. Bottici begins by defining the difference between the imaginal and the imaginary, locating the imaginal's root meaning in the image and its ability to both characterize a public and establish a set of activities within that public. She identifies the imaginal's critical role in powering representative democracies and its amplification through globalization. She then addresses the troublesome increase in images now mediating politics and the transformation of politics into empty spectacle. The spectacularization of politics has led to its virtualization, Bottici observes, transforming images into processes with an uncertain relationship to reality, and, while new media has democratized the image in a global society of the spectacle, the cloned image no longer mediates politics but does the act for us. Bottici concludes with politics' current search for legitimacy through an invented ideal of tradition, a turn to religion, and the incorporation of human rights language. 410 0$aNew directions in critical theory. 606 $aImagination$xPolitical aspects 606 $aVisualization$xPolitical aspects 606 $aImagery (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 615 0$aImagination$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aVisualization$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aImagery (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.019 700 $aBottici$b Chiara$0521637 702 $aEyerman$b J.
