Açıklama

A concept that understands the gathering of bodies in public space as a form of plural performative action. Butler interprets occupations of public squares and protests as embodied discourses that draw attention to the shared vulnerabilities of the precariat; thus, assembly becomes both a claim to rights and the performative constitution of new forms of “we.”
