In other words, a sovereign must appear—philosophically, politically, and aesthetically—on the stage of power, both to themselves and to others, in order to assume authority. In this sense, sovereignty is a theatrical phenomenon from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the relationship between theatre and sovereignty in modern political theory, philosophy, and performance. Arthur Bradley considers the theatricality of power—its forms, dramas, and iconography—and examines sovereignty's modes of appearance: thrones, insignia, regalia, ritual, ceremony, spectacle, marvels, fictions, and phantasmagoria. He weaves together political theory and literature, reading figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Montaigne, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Schmitt, Benjamin, Derrida, and Agamben alongside writers including Shakespeare, Cervantes, Schiller, Melville, Valéry, Kafka, Ionesco, and Genet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormally inventive and deeply interdisciplinary, \u003cem\u003eStaging Sovereignty\u003c\/em\u003e offers a surprising and original narrative of political modernity from early modern political theology to the age of neoliberal capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000755339500,"sku":"9780231217347","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8230173482270.jpg?v=1763302097"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/arthur-bradley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
