Moving Protests: The Stories Objects Can Tell

late contentious politics, often in confrontation with the state, global companies or other interest groups. Protests consist of a broad range of (disobedient) objects and images that acquire meaning in their assemblages, or the ways in which they are arranged with other technologies, bodies and environments. As a researcher who focuses on communication, technology and social change, and especially on spaces and infrastructures of resistance, Anna Feigenbaum has been exploring the media, governance and social practices of protest camps around the world, demonstrating that protest camps are unique spaces in which activists can enact radical and often experiential forms of democratic politics, that are often represented by or communicated through objects. To build movement histories that can challenge the structures of power, there is a need for what Yvonne Marshall calls ‘archaeologies of resistance’, which invite us to listen to these objects, to discover their stories. In this essay Feigenbaum explores such stories objects can tell.
