From the rear cover
"'The first political act is also an aesthetic one.' From this provocative postulate "The Political Life of Sensation" develops a refreshingly innovative theory of the image for which the force of sensation figures as a force for democracy. As interruptive as it is instaurational, both dissensual and convivial, the power of the image is brought by Davide Panagia to a new and original theoretical expression. The book weaves seamlessly between penetrating analyses of key political and philosophical thinkers and of cultural formations from the piazzas of Italy to the Thanksgiving table. A forceful and convincing apologia for an 'ethics of appearance.'"--Brian Massumi, author of "Parables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation"
