Global Movement Assemblages Symposium - Hamid Dabashi

Abstract

Dr. Hamid Dabashi discusses the Arab Spring at the Global Movement Assemblages Symposium. He proposes that the Arab Spring signifies a re-territorialization in the region in which the dominant geography of post-colonial states is being challenged.This is suggestive for what is going on more globally in the post-2010 movements as they reconfigure revolution and experiment with dismantling the modern state. The Global Movement Assemblages Symposium was held on October 13-15, 2016 by the Social Justice Research Institute at Brock University.
