“…the political character of art, according to rancière, lies in its centrality to processes of subjectification: it delineates how people perceive and understand what they have in common and what their role is within these communities. 2 Davide Panagia (2006Panagia ( , 2009 also examines this idea of aesthetically shaped "common sense" (akin to Kant's sensus communis) within the context of democratic political life. He contends that while existing regimes of perception may support the status quo, sensation can be an interruptive force, "invit[ing] occasions and actions for reconfiguring our associational lives" (Panagia 2009:3).…”

“…He contends that while existing regimes of perception may support the status quo, sensation can be an interruptive force, "invit[ing] occasions and actions for reconfiguring our associational lives" (Panagia 2009:3). Focusing on what he terms the "poetics of political thinking," Panagia (2006) urges us to attend to the coincidence of aesthetic and moral conceptions of value, to acknowledge that political strategies of persuasion appeal as much to sense experience as to processes of logical reason. the extent to which political claims are understood as legitimate relies significantly on the modes through which such claims are expressed.…”

This article discusses the ways in which popular culture reflects and reinforces criminal governance structures in Kingston, Jamaica, where socalled "dons" are central to extra-state forms of political order. In order to appreciate why donmanship has developed as a durable structure of rule and belonging, attention must be paid not only to the dons' informal provision of material services to inner-city residents, but also to the imaginative, aesthetic underpinnings of criminal authority. Drawing on work linking aesthetics, politics, and the body, the article examines the emotional and ethical work that specific texts, sounds, performative practices, and visual images do. [

“…Several recent works have attended to the essentially imaginative, creative and aesthetic character of political theory in toto (Panagia, 2006;McManus, 2005). However, while interesting, in highlighting the creative and fictive characteristics of the political theory canon, they do not really address the role of creativity and imagination in oppositional political practices.…”

“…These numbers combined or considered separately exceed the 46,700 refugees admitted in 2016, which is being hailed as a record number since 1978, when the Immigration Act came into effect (Puzic, 2017). Academic discussions are not beyond this; scholars too continue to use the language of abjection and exclusion when describing the lives of non-status persons (Balibar, 2000;Coutin, 2000;Nyers, 2006Nyers, , 2010Panagia, 2006). Non-status migrants are predominantly portrayed in a negative light and as incapable of autonomy, self-representation and claim making.…”

Canada's current immigration, refugee, citizenship and temporary migration polices facilitate the production and maintenance of multitude forms of temporariness. The designation of temporary and precarious status means limited rights, conditionality and increased risk of abuse and exploitation. It also shapes persons’ access to rights and services and their sense of belonging. The special section includes four original articles that employ a range of qualitative methods to delve into the issue of temporariness and its implications for migrants, Canadians, and the future of migration management in Canada. The authors call for repeals, amendments and the creation of innovative programmes that leads to pathways to permanent status. The contributions are intended to provide active, pointed, and practical recommendations that would eventually lead to an immigration programme that is efficient, secure, and complies with international human rights standards while eliminating instances of abuse and exploitation.
