Recenzii
Jeffrey Alexander's book on the Egyptian revolution is a masterpiece of cultural sociology. He looks at the unfolding drama and examines how individual remarks and statments were shaped into a representation of collective expression in a wide variety of media. He makes us understand how revolutions unfold within societies that become 'subjectivized' through the invention of new represntations about themselves and the world, within the framework of an effervescent collective action.
Jeffrey C. Alexander's excellent Performative Revolution in Egypt: An Essay in Cultural Power brings the dissonance between this performance and its deliverables to the fore.

Descriere
Why was Egypt's Spring revolution so compelling and so effective? This brilliant essay uncovers the narrative of the revolution - as a theatrical performance enacted on Tahrir Square, with a moral purpose but also a communicative logic in demonstrating what a civil, egalitarian society might look like.
