This roundtable will bring together activists from Lebanon and Serbia who have engaged in some form of prefigurative politics, and researchers who have studied prefigurative movements in these two contexts and Turkey. All three contexts were or are marked with extensive use of police violence and other forms of severe repression. Researchers will present key insights from their studies on prefigurative movements. The roundtable will invite activists to reflect on what kinds of research, knowledge, or theoretical tools could best support their struggles, and will also give them the opportunity to respond directly to academic interpretations of their work.
