Riots and Militant Occupations provides students with theoretical
reflections and qualitative case studies on militant contentious
political action across a range from across Europe to Nigeria,
China and Turkey. This multi-authored, interdisciplinary collection
adopts an interpretive and participatory approach to examining
meanings, affects, embodiment, identity, relationality and space in
the context of riots and protests. The rapidly shifting terrain of
riots and occupations has left existing social-scientific theories
lagging behind, challenging dominant constructions of agency and
rationality. This book will fill this gap, by offering new
understandings and critical perspectives on the question of what
happens in space, in time and between people, during and after
riots. Weaving together observations, experiences and analyses of
riots from participants, theorists and social scientists, the
authors craft theoretical perspectives in close connection with
researched practices. These perspectives take the form of new
theoretical contributions on the spatiality, affectivity and
immanent meaning of riots, and grassroots qualitative case-studies
of particular events and contexts. Countering the preconceptions of
riots as a trail of broken windows, burned dumpsters and angry
conservatives, this book aims to demonstrate that riots are
fundamentally creative, generating forms of meaning, power,
knowledge, affect, social connection and participatory space which
are rare, and sociologically important, in the modern world.
