Building upon social philosopher Axel Honneth’s conceptualization of the relationship between feelings and freedoms, in this chapter we offer an ethnographic analysis of the ‘Freedom Movement’: an emerging and perhaps emblematic social movement of the early twenty-first century that embodies a nexus of reaction to alienation, the pursuit of freedom, and feelingfulness. The Freedom Movement stands, we argue, as an example of how freedom can be pursued as an affective state of being, co-constructed by a community of practice and regenerated through the act of protest.

摘要

Building upon social philosopher Axel Honneth’s conceptualization of the relationship between feelings and freedoms, in this chapter we offer an ethnographic analysis of the ‘Freedom Movement’: an emerging and perhaps emblematic social movement of the early twenty-first century that embodies a nexus of reaction to alienation, the pursuit of freedom, and feelingfulness. The Freedom Movement stands, we argue, as an example of how freedom can be pursued as an affective state of being, co-constructed by a community of practice and regenerated through the act of protest.
