Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: ABSTRACT: This paper explores how John Dewey used concepts derived from geography to conceptualize underappreciated obstacles citizens face when attempting to exercise political power. He contends that in addition to facing rank oppression, institutional exclusion, and cultural manipulation, citizens face a fractured social and cultural environment which creates profound difficulties for their efforts to create a holistic conceptual representation of their larger political surroundings. This emphasis upon the consequences of the fragmented layout of institutions, ideas and social groups upon citizens’ ability exercise public autonomy links Dewey with contemporary theorists such as Zygmunt Baumann, David Harvey, and Frederic Jameson who also bemoan how institutions manipulate space in order to obscure their activities and confound attempts to locate the patterns of their influence. With this similarity established, not only will Dewey gain new relevance, but also be able to provide new strategies for enabling citizen power.
