These practices may not have led to the political changes we had hoped for. Nevertheless, we are convinced of their importance. This book wants to acknowledge them as a starting point for a new art of being many: The »many« invoke new concepts of collectivity by renegotiating their modes of participation and (self-)presentation and by rewriting rhetorical, choreographical, and material scripts of assembling. This volume is inspired and informed by the square-occupations and neighborhood assemblies of the »real democracy« movements as well as by recent explorations of the assembly form in performance art and participatory theatre UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783839433133?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839433133 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783839433133/original ER -
