SeminarSummary: Places are spaces for the performance of power in a polity. From shared courtyards to city squares, places give the dramatis personae of any polity (families, kinships, societies universities, big business or the nation state), a stage to enact and reaffirm the relationships of power that bind them together. ‘Setting the stage’, in other words, placing (or displacing) edifices in places, is the scenographic privilege of the powerful in the polity and the manner in which this directorship is wielded shows the agency of governance and the sovereignty of the governed. – Reproduced
