Abstract:
Representation is a significant problem in both political and artistic theory. This article distinguishes between three stages in the development of the modern state, and suggests that the problem of representation has a specific form in each of them. It deploys two concepts from Kashmiri aesthetic theory— imitation and commonization—to analyze the character of modern political representation.
