Abstract

This book invites the reader to explore contemporary politics through a particular site, to read the global through the local, advocating a particular method of inquiry that privileges the site itself rather than the interpretive frame that we bring to it. The book is an experiment in political analysis, not least because it is suspicious of the traditional assumption that the containment strategies of modern politics are inevitable and necessary, where politics are confined to the business of government and puts other kinds of business—economic, social, cultural, environmental, scientific, spiritual, familial, personal—on the other side of a bar.
