Geographies of authority

We propose a geography that pluralizes the sites, practices and politics of authority. defend an approach tracks less perceptible forms authority emerging through everyday micropolitics experimental practices. In contrast to dominant definitions as institutionalized legitimate power, we define relation guidance from recognition inequalities in access truth, experience or objectivity. Analysing four intersecting areas (algorithmic, experiential, expert participatory authority), analyses grounded political aesthetics trace authority’s affective force, its role disclosing contesting common.
