Riots are extraordinary events that have been recurring with
increasing frequency and occupy a highly controversial space in the
political imagination. Despite their often negative portrayals, it
is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the
confrontation between authority and dissent. Recently, with the
deepening crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal
tension, an "age of riots" has powerfully begun. As master fictions
of the sovereign nation-state implode, and the hegemonic silencing
of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, Nights of
the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound brings together artistic works,
political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects
from across the world in an endeavor to "sense," chronicle, and
think through recent riots and uprisings-evoking a phenomenology of
the multitude and surplus population. With contributions from Asef
Bayat, Joshua Clover, Vaginal Davis, Keller Easterling, Zena
Edwards, Nadine El-Enany, Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar, Gauri Gill,
Natasha Ginwala, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Louis Henderson, Satch
Hoyt, Hamid Khan, Gal Kirn, Josh Kun, Leopold Lambert, Margit
Mayer, Vivek Narayanan, Ai Ogawa, Oana Parvan, Elizabeth A.
Povinelli, SAHMAT, Thomas Seibert, Niloufar Tajeri, Chandraguptha
Thenuwara, Dariouche Tehrani, and Ala Younis.
