Fractal Leadership investigates leadership construction in social
movements afforded (or intensified) by algorithm-based flows of
information and viral affectivity. The book illustrates how a
somewhat amorphous structure is replicated from an intimate,
localised community level, all the way up to the global level with
swift, almost breath-taking repetitions over and over again, from
one scale to another, thus carrying new forms of leaders to sudden
public mass-following, but just as quickly sweeping them away.
Including original primary research with fieldwork from Extinction
Rebellion and Black Lives Matter in juxtaposition with archival
research of the New Left movements of the 1960s, Karatzogianni and
Matthews explore how the digital transformation of temporality
impacts on the ideologisation process, movement organisational
structure, as well as the implicated biolabour process, culminating
on the fractalisation of movement leadership and its devastating
implications for class formation, and the authoritarian turn in
global politics. Fractal Leadership serves as a point of reference
for those interested in tracing the development of leadership in
social movements from the 1960s to today.
