It examines the historical threats faced by mosques, from the Cordóba Mosque in the eighth century to the development of Moorish aesthetics in the United States and the clashes surrounding mosque building in the West. Akel Kahera uses Foucault's genealogy to elaborate on and study the subjects caught in the emergence of a battle—the social and political will to power, the networks of power, and the rituals of power—within the interstitial space. By going beyond individual buildings to broader geographical and genealogical dimensions of the power struggles, The Place of the Mosque reconciles the public space experience, governmentality, and micro powers, paving the way for a new philosophical language. Kahera also shows the biopolitical significance of the problem of space by expanding architectural and urban regional approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 336g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 150 x 14 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793646897\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akel Ismail Kahera","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47481954173178,"sku":"9781793646897","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751653213250_book.jpg?v=1751751914","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-place-of-the-mosque-genealogies-of-space-knowledge-and-power-9781793646897","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
