Senses of the Political: The View from North Africa in Light of the Arab Uprisings

Our Spring 2023 series proposes rethinking the political by examining its genealogy, its multiple meanings, and its effects through approaching it as an affective, aesthetic, ethical, and material construct across different scales, geographies, and temporalities. Sense here refers to both, the meaning of the political and the embodied way something is felt and experienced beyond the threshold of visibility and articulation. To do so, this series situates the explicitly political institutions and practices, such as voting and protesting, within a broader landscape of everyday interactions and intimate spaces that give rise to the “political” as an imaginary and a modality of acting and being in the world.
