Information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been acknowledged in the text and a list of references is given in the bibliography. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or other qualification at Goldsmiths College or any other University or similar institution. Markus Miessen, Berlin, May 2017 2 Acknowledgements Firstly I would like to thank Eyal Weizman, who – beyond being a continuous source of inspiration and mentor – has provided invaluable and on-going support and supervision throughout my PhD. I would also like to thank Keller Easterling, who – especially during the early phase of my research – acted as sparring partner and feedback loop, which I greatly appreciated. Particular thanks must go to the ground-control team at Goldsmiths, mostly to Susan Schuppli and Joanne Dodd, who always kept things under control. A very special thanks goes to all contributors of the four books, which I have submitted as part of my PhD. Amongst them, Chantal Mouffe and Eyal Weizman have been continuous conversation partners regarding my thoughts, ideas, and writing, be it within the remit of the PhD research, or outside of it, and deserve special mention.
