Notes towards a performative theory of assemblism - Judith Butler
€ 24.19 incl. tax*
Protest is almost always linked to a form of assembly.
Therefore, assembly makes up an important part of protest, and that which is
protested. Assembly communicates a central premise that dictates the protest
that is being done through a certain ‘form’ of collectivity. The horizontal
democratic form of assembly by the Occupy movement, is radically different from
the torch marches by the alt-right movements. Occupy uses the ‘human
microphone’ to communicate, while the alt-right movements used weaponry and ‘Ku
Klux Klan’ symbolism to communicate their message. Assembly is the mise-en-scène of protest.
In this book Butler investigates notions of assembly as a performative action. She relates it to present day examples which arose from forms of 'precarity'. Butler argues that assemblism will lead to a new collectivity.
