Synopsis

Sculptures in Politics explores how statues and monuments serve as potent tools of political propaganda and vital components in shaping historical narratives. These sculpted figures, often viewed as static objects, actively mold public opinion and reinforce dominant ideologies. The book argues that these works communicate complex messages visually, transcending linguistic barriers to influence collective memory.

 
The book examines the creation of statues as instruments of state power, illustrating how regimes commission these pieces to legitimize their rule. It also investigates how monuments reinforce specific historical narratives, often marginalizing certain voices. The debates surrounding the removal of controversial monuments are discussed, revealing challenges in reconciling conflicting interpretations of history.

 
Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book combines art historical analysis with political and social theory to understand sculptures' political agency. Starting with core concepts of memory and power, it progresses chronologically through case studies, from ancient Roman portraiture to contemporary debates over Confederate monuments, equipping readers to critically analyze the monuments they encounter and understand their ongoing impact.

    Feminist philosophy has emerged as a critical lens for understanding and deconstructing gender roles, power structures, and the ways in which societal norms shape individual identities. At its core, feminist philosophy challenges traditional, patriarchal systems that often position women and marginalized genders as secondary to men. It is not merely a critique of these systems but an exploration of alternative ways of thinking about power, justice, and equality. Feminist philosophers have sought to unravel the deep-rooted assumptions about gender, questioning how these assumptions limit the full potential of individuals and societies. 
    The intersection of gender, power, and identity plays a pivotal role in feminist thought. Feminist philosophers argue that gender is not a natural or static characteristic but a social construct shaped by historical, cultural, and political forces. This perspective invites us to reconsider the rigid distinctions between what is typically considered "masculine" and "feminine," and challenges the belief that these roles are inherent or unchangeable. It also calls attention to the ways in which power dynamics inform our understanding of gender. Feminism examines how power operates not just in political or economic spheres, but in everyday interactions, personal relationships, and within institutions.
