l A compelling treatise on the relationship
between power and enclosureFortress Power
presents a genealogy of fortification as a
material and political technology intent on
obstruction, tracing its implementation across
battlefields, borders, and urban environments.
Drawing on the influential work of philosophers
Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, Derek S.
Denman places the fortress alongside the
archetypes of the prison and the camp, citing
them as paradigmatic of how space is transformed
into a tool of domination and control. Focusing
on the defensive architecture of bastion
fortresses, urban design, and border landscapes,
Fortress Power charts the rise of a form of
governance grounded in hostility, extending the
scope of its subject from a piece of military
construction to a much broader political concept.
Detailing how power manifests in everything from
city centers to international boundaries, the
book analyzes the logic of fortification as it
moves through various contexts in the advancement
of surveillance, exploitation, warfare, and
political authority. Through a unique blend of
architecture and design studies, political
theory, international relations, geography, and
