Senses of Civil Order
The idea of “civil order” produces an idealized image of a well-ordered society, obscuring complex realities of inequality, violence, and repression, and reinforcing boundaries between those who abide by norms of civility and those who do not. The focus of this workshop will be on the aesthetic dimension of civil order: on the sensual experiences that give civic life the semblance of orderliness, through images, representations, architecture, symbols, and processes of exclusion. By attending to the ways in which modern state power organizes the phenomenal world, we explore how the deliberate generation of affects, atmospheres, and emotional states shapes the many senses of civil order.
