Occupy: A People Yet To Come
by Andrew Conio (ed.)
Publisher: Open Humanities Press 2015
ISBN-13: 9781785420047
Number of pages: 275
Description:
The term Occupy represents a belief in the transformation of the capitalist system through a new heterogenic world of protest and activism that cannot be conceived in terms of liberal democracy, parliamentary systems, class war or vanguard politics. This collection of essays examines how capitalism can be understood as a global abstract machine whose effects pervade all of life and how Occupy can be framed as a response to this as a heterogenic movement based on new tactics, revitalised democratic processes and nomadic systems of organisation.
