The Prison of Politics: Masculinities, Affect and Everyday Authoritarianism

Description

How do materiality and affect provide new possibilities for examining societies in transition? Maria Frederika Malmström explores the dramatic differences after the Egyptian revolution and their implications for society—the lack of sound in the floating landscape of Cairo after the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, the role of material things in the sit-ins of 2013, the military evocation of masculinities (and the destruction of alternative ones), and how people experience pain, rage, disgust, euphoria, and passion in the body.
