I would also add that there is a distinct spatiality and materiality to protest that is little understood. Given how important control of space is in regimes of domination and resistance, we have very little data on how space is utilized and reconfigured by protesting groups in such instances. Studies of occupy camps (of which I believe there are a few) would add to this interesting data-set and provide for longer-term studies of the modern world and its discontents. Hey John–Great post.
