Reframing Authority. The Role of Media and Materiality. Equinox, London, 2018. Co-edited with Christian Høgel (original) (raw)

This book explores the concept of authority through the lenses of media and materiality, illustrating how these factors shape the construction, contestation, and transformation of authority across different historical and cultural contexts. By examining case studies ranging from the historical presence of Atatürk in modern Turkey to the revitalization of Brahmin authority in contemporary India, the contributions highlight authority as a relational and context-dependent construct. The analyses demonstrate that authority is not merely a static power structure but a dynamic interplay of material forms and mediated experiences that inform social accomplishments and identities.
