Reflections on sensing practice and power
One of the great strengths of Fleur Johns ’ approach is her conceptual starting point: that sensing and knowing are intimately connected but distinct, and that therefore “sensing practice ... encompasses those ways of knowing, or claims to knowledge, that are mobilized in the course of perception.” To borrow John Berger ’s phrase, sensing practice is a “way of seeing” and whether we are viewing European oil paintings or the human-readable renderi…
Behind every Caesar a new one? Reflections on revolution and counter-revolution in Egypt in response to Gramsci on Tahrir
