Please don't brand my public space

Please Don't Brand My Public Space is a critical investigation of the visual strategies employed to identify and brand political spaces. Isn't it about time to look at their often banal images as part of a crisis of political representation? Contributions on the theme by political scientists, designers, and sociologists make reference to the three visual essays that are at the heart of the book: -The Noticeable Absence of a Flag of the Earth- by Ruedi Baur, -Depictions of Federalism and Nationalism: Comparing Former Yugoslavia, Switzerland, and Belgium- by Irena Bockaj, and -European Capitals in Competition- by Maria Roskowska.
