Moments of Excess: Movements, Protest and Everyday Life

£13.99

Manufacturer: PM Press

Product Information

"The first decade of the twenty-first century was marked by a series of global summits which seemed to assume ever-greater importance — from the 1999 WTO meeting in Seattle through the G8 summits at Genoa, Evian, and Gleneagles, up to 2009's UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

These global summits did not pass uncontested. Alongside and against them, there unfolded a very different version of globalisation. Moments of Excess is a collection of texts that weaves lucid descriptions of the intensity of collective action into a more sober reflection on the developing problematics of the 'movement of movements'. The collection examines essential questions about the relationship between intensive collective experiences and everyday life, the character of contemporary anticapitalism, and the very meaning of 'movement' itself.

As we enter a new and unknown era, with anti-austerity struggles emerging across the planet, the politics opened up by Moments of Excess are more relevant than ever."
