Assemblies are ancestral, transcultural ways of coming together as a community. Over the past decades, multiple social movements have reappropriated these forms of collective organisation as a prominent component of political struggle, to defend radical visions of democracy. At the same time, governments across the globe have sought to reframe public deliberation as a response to the failures of representative democracy. How can we analyze this double movement, and could assemblies of equals once again offer possibilities to reimagine and renew the ways politics is practiced? Bringing together accounts written by those who practice assemblies, and contributions from artists, architects, activists, historians, philosophers, and social scientists, the book proposes a critical inquiry into the potential of assemblies to shape political subjects.
