Chapter 1Introduction

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 1 –17

[Is it trivial, or perhaps even irresponsible, to explore aesthetic themes at a time when the world is engulfed by war, genocide, terrorism, poverty, climate change and financial turmoil? Why indulge in painting, poetry or music when lives and livelihoods are at stake? Can we really afford to...

Chapter 2The Aesthetic Turn in International Political Theory

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 18 –47

[We have all grown accustomed to familiar representations of the international and its conflicts. Wars, famines and diplomatic summits are shown to us in their usual guise: as short-lived media events that blend information and entertainment. The numbing regularity with which these images and...

Chapter 3Art after 9/11

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 48 –66

[Aesthetic theories are illuminating, but they become politically significant only in the context of real-life situations. This is why I now provide practical illustrations of the conceptual claims I advanced in the previous chapter.]

Chapter 4The Sublime Nature of Global Politics

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 67 –83

[These are the words of Oskar Schell, the eleven-year-old protagonist of Jonathan Safran Foer’s 9/11 novel.2 He expresses perfectly what I thought to discuss and argue in the previous chapter, namely, that aesthetic sources are particularly suited to provide insight into a range of powerful and...

Chapter 5Poetic World Politics

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 84 –96

[The remaining chapters of this book now build on the conceptual inquiries and aesthetic examples I have offered so far. The task now is to move beyond assertion and illustration and actually demonstrate, in a systematic manner, why and how aesthetic approaches to world poetics matter. I do so...

Chapter 6Poetry after Auschwitz

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 97 –111

[‘It’s not all that simple,’ Paul Celan is said to have responded, when asked about his seeming lack of political engagement in the spring of 1968.1 Oppression, for him, was deeply entrenched in social customs and language. A more just and inclusive political order could not be ushered in...

Chapter 7Poetic Resistance to Cold War Politics

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 112 –127

[The dissident writer was a prominent figure in the Cold War theatre of Eastern Europe. The likes of Solzhenitsyn, Havel and Michnik stirred up political waters at home and made headlines in the West, where they were celebrated as symbols of light in a world of darkness and evil. Lesser known...

Chapter 8Come See the Blood in the Streets

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 128 –140

[Few public figures are more convincing than Pablo Neruda when it comes to substantiating the possible relevance of poetry to the study — and conduct — of global politics. Nobel laureate, political activist and international diplomat, Neruda and his poems epitomise the Zeitgeist of an epoch, the...

Chapter 9Poetics and the Politics of Memory

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 141 –151

[The chapters so far have made clear that poetry can be a form of sociopolitical critique. It pierces through worn-out metaphors and ruptures tissues of power. It names what had no name before. It slips into memory what was void of voice. It visualises light that still lingers unseen in the dark....

Chapter 10The Poetic Search for Identity and Community

Bleiker, Roland

Pages: 152 –170

[The final case study of this book focuses on the Korean poet Ko Un.2 I pursue similar themes to those in previous chapters, from the poetic resistance to authoritarianism to the search for a critical historical voice, but I do so in a different cultural context and by highlighting an additional...
