  • More about The Electoral Imagination: Literature, Legitimacy, and Other Rigged Systems

The Electoral Imagination critically examines the decisions made before voting, the aesthetic and imaginative choices that shape democratic elections, and the myth of rigging. It offers an alternative to the myth of rigging by exploring the systems we use to move between the one and the many.

Format: Hardback
Length: 280 pages
Publication date: 13 October 2022
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


What happens when we vote? What are we counting when we count ballots? Who decides what an election should look like and what it should mean? And why do so many people believe that some or all elections are rigged?

Moving between intellectual history, literary criticism, and political theory, The Electoral Imagination offers a critical account of the decisions before the decision, of the aesthetic and imaginative choices that inform and, in some cases, determine the nature and course of democratic elections.

Drawing on original interpretations of George Eliot and Ralph Ellison, Lewis Carroll and Kenneth Arrow, Anthony Trollope and Arthur Koestler, Richard Nixon and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Palm Beach Butterfly Ballot and the Single Transferable Vote, The Electoral Imagination works both to understand the systems we use to move between the one and the many and to offer an alternative to the myth of rigging.
