Focusing on the 25 January 2011 Egyptian revolution, this book
traces its affective and emotional dynamics into the local realties
and everyday politics of the urban subaltern, exploring the impact
of revolutionary participation on protestors' engagement in street
politics. As well as investigating the affective dynamics of the
revolution, the author analyses the spatiality of affect in the
context of the Maspero Triangle neighbourhood, highlighting the
disruption of the revolutionary moment and the evolution of
informal political practices. In addition, the book focuses on
state efforts to counter revolutionary street politics by co-opting
and dismantling politicized local practices. It is argued that the
appropriation by the state of the notion of the baltagi helped
create narratives around 'thuggery' to undermine the politics of
the urban poor. Based on empirical fieldwork, the book ultimately
shows how the revolutionary moment informed subsequent local
activism, illustrating that it was both disruptive and productive
in terms of contentious street politics. Combining literature on
affect and emotion, intersectional gender and everyday politics,
the book yields innovative and renewed insights within the fields
of political science and Middle East studies, and will prove
valuable reading for anyone interested in the Egyptian revolution
and its aftermath.
