Architecture, Media, Populismand Violence: Reification and Representation II Cairns Graham
The 'Storming of the Capitol' was, for many, the culminating media performance of the four-year presidency of Donald Trump. The questions that such events raise are complex, varied and operative across a multitude of disciplines. His presidency and its 'final act', bore all the hallmarks of a 21st century form of populism and media-politico spectacle that may yet come to dominate the political scene in the US, and worldwide, for years to come.
Rather, it seeks to use those events as the starting point for a critique of architecture in the tapestry of mediated forms of protest and 'political action' more generally. This book engages with these vexed questions in the broad fields of politics and media, but does so, uniquely, through the prism of architecture.This book does not, however, limit its view to the recent events in Washington DC or the United States.
