{"product_id":"artistic-foundations-of-nations-and-citizens","title":"Artistic Foundations of Nations and Citizens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines politics through the lens of art and literature. Through discussion on great works of visual art, literature, and cultural representations of political thought in the medieval, early modern, and American eras, it explores the relevance of the nation-state to human freedom and flourishing, as well as the concept of citizenship and statesmanship that it implies, in contrast to that of the ‘global community’. The essays in this volume focus on shifting notions of various core political concepts like citizenship, republicanism, and nationalism from antiquity to the present-day to provide a systematic understanding of their evolving histories through Western Art and literature. It highlights works such as the Bayeux Tapestry, Shakespeare’s \u003ci\u003eHenry V\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHenry VI\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Midsummer Night’s Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, Twain’s \u003ci\u003eJoan of Arc\u003c\/i\u003e and Hermann’s \u003ci\u003eNichts als Gespenster\u003c\/i\u003e, among several other canonical works of political interest. Further, it questions if we should now look beyond the nation-state to some form of tans-national, global community to pursue the human freedom desired by progressives, or look at smaller forms of community resembling the \u003ci\u003epolis\u003c\/i\u003e to pursue the friendship and nobility valued by the ancients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be invaluable to students and teachers of political science, especially political theory and philosophy, visual arts, and world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232363139416,"sku":"9780367703059","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367703059_6189959f-da4e-47ea-9a91-5bcd756b3f70.jpg?v=1777188651","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/artistic-foundations-of-nations-and-citizens","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
