It reconciles the public space experience, governmentality, and micro powers, paving the way for a new philosophical language. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 244 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Place of the Mosque: Genealogies of Space, Knowledge, and Power expands upon Foucault's analysis of other spaces and the ideological conflicts that underpin the controversies of our day [that] take place between pious descendants of time and tenacious inhabitants of space. The book employs this framework to shed light on the historical threats faced by mosques, ranging from the Cordóba Mosque in the eighth century to the development of Moorish aesthetics in nineteenth-century United States to the clashes surrounding the construction of mosques in the West in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Foucault's genealogy enables us to delve into and examine the subjects caught up in the emergence of a battle—the social and political will to power, the networks of power, and the rituals of power—in the interstitial spaces that define the subjects and create a space that governs both the body and space. By extending architectural and urban regional approaches, Kahera demonstrates the biopolitical significance of the problem of space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Place of the Mosque: Genealogies of Space, Knowledge, and Power expands upon Foucault's analysis of other spaces and the ideological conflicts that underpin the controversies of our day [that] take place between pious descendants of time and tenacious inhabitants of space.
