Events like the Occupy Wall Street protests, the Arab Spring, - TopicsExpress



          

Events like the Occupy Wall Street protests, the Arab Spring, demonstrations in Greece and Spain, have to be read precisely as signs from the future. We should turn around the historicist perspective of understanding an event out of its context and genesis. Radical emancipatory outbursts cannot be understood in this way. Instead of analyzing them as part of the continuous development from past to present. We should bring in the perspective of the future. We should analyse them as limited, distorted, sometimes even perverted, fragments of a utopian future, that lie dormant in the present as its hidden potential. - Slavoj Žižek
