Collective Horizons: Rethinking the performative and the political (im)possibilities of being together

Invisible Committee, ‘the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality’ (described by one of the members of the anonymous group), published a text in 2007 that hypothesised the ‘imminent collapse of capitalist culture’ that would arise from new waves of social contestation. Under the title The Coming Insurrection the text (denounced as a manual for terrorism by the French government) functioned as a call to arms during the upheavals of the following years. The introduction concluded with a question that, in this chapter, I would like to suggest still stands as a precondition for political action. This question is: Where do we find each other?
