摘要
This commentary examines the politics of density in urban protest and social movements, drawing on examples from Hong Kong and Mumbai. The ‘force’ of density, I argue, is an emergent property shaped through the combinatory relations and forms of presencing that accompany instantiations of high numbers of people congregated in space.KEYWORDS: Densityurban theoryprotestsocial movementspowerDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationFundingThis project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 773209).
