Outline text:
Reification and Representation: Architecture in the Politico-Media-Complex represents a ground-breaking analysis of the relationship between the built environment, politics and the media that will be essential reading for scholars in architecture, urban planning, politics, sociology, media and communication studies.
Arguing for a fundamental reconfiguration of our understanding of the ‘political’ in the context of the built environment it suggests we need to consider a significant role mediated imagery over and above the physical forms of the city and its architectures. Including examples of architecture in the political imagery confected for politicians in the democracies of the United States and the United Kingdom, this book proposes that these images give us both a better understanding of recent developments in the Western political economy and the architectural and urban developments of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries.
The full range of case studies includes Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, David Cameron and Brexit.
