This is an era of revolts, but no longer of revolutions. Or not yet? It surely depends on our understanding of what a revolution is.
There are countless everyday practices of social transformation, very important movements and struggles, other ways of thinking about the political. But they sometimes occur without their own languages and forms, under the shadow of certain frozen images of the past: the conscious vanguard, organized as a Party, storming the Winter Palace.
This disconnect between images and practices, between languages and experiences, is one of the reasons for the current impasse in the politics of emancipation: capital conquers new layers of being every day, sweeping away purely reactive and defensive measures. How do we stop it?
Taking the initiative, launching a new offensive, requires affirming other images of change, "reconceiving the revolution."
