Description

Impulse to Act: A New Anthropology of Resistance and Social Justice by Othon Alexandrakis explores the complexities of protest movements. Through a range of activist movements, from Greece's 2008 protests to Russia's chto delat, this book examines how participants coalesce around collective resistance and disrupt authoritative structures. The contributors highlight the affective dimensions of political movements, charting the ways in which protesters come together and belong to collectives of resistance. They also show how emerging actions and critiques help disrupt established power dynamics. This novel approach offers new insights into traditional cornerstones of political anthropology. By analyzing a changing political movement immersed in contingency, Impulse to Act provides a nuanced understanding of protest movements and their evolution over time.
