Summary: Focusing on the works of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Rancière, this text reveals the aesthetic premises that underlie their political thinking, and the construction and apprehension of worlds through spatial forms and distributions. Mustafa Dikeç argues that politics is about forms of perceiving the world and modes of relating to it, and that the disruption of such forms and modes is the sublime element in politics. -- cover
