Summary
Built around key events from the eviction of a self-managed social centre in Copenhagen in 2007 to the Climate Summit protests in 2009, this book contributes to anthropological literature on contemporary Euro-American politics foreshadowing the recent wave of public dissent. The author explores the forms politics take among left radical and anarchist activists in Northern Europe pointing to how forms of action engender time. Drawing on anthropological literature from both Scandinavia and the Amazon, this ethnography acts as a recasting of theoretical concerns about body politics, political intentionality, aesthetics and time.--, Provided by Publisher
