Public protests are a vital tool for asserting grievances and
creating temporary, yet tangible, communities as the world becomes
more democratic and urban in the twenty-first century. While the
political and social aspects of protest have been extensively
studied, little attention has been paid to the physical spaces in
which protests happen. Yet place is a crucial aspect of protests,
influencing the dynamics and engagement patterns among
participants. In The Design of Protest, Tali Hatuka offers the
first extensive discussion of the act of protest as a design: that
is, a planned event in a space whose physical geometry and symbolic
meaning are used and appropriated by its organizers, who aim to
challenge socio-spatial distance between political institutions and
the people they should serve. Presenting case studies from around
the world, including Tiananmen Square in Beijing; the National Mall
in Washington, DC; Rabin Square in Tel Aviv; and the Plaza de Mayo
in Buenos Aires, Hatuka identifies three major dimensions of public
protests: the process of planning the protest in a particular
place; the choice of spatial choreography of the event, including
the value and meaning of specific tactics; and the challenges of
performing contemporary protests in public space in a fragmented,
complex, and conflicted world. Numerous photographs, detailed
diagrams, and plans complement the case studies, which draw upon
interviews with city officials, urban planners, and protesters
themselves.
