DESCRIPTION:Critical Social Theory at McGill is proud to present a talk by 
 Jodi Dean (Hobart & William Smith Colleges) on her new book Crowds and Par
 ty (Verso).\n\nHow do mass protests become an organized activist collectiv
 e?\n\nCrowds and Party channels the energies of the riotous crowds who too
 k to the streets in the past five years into an argument for the political
  party. Rejecting the emphasis on individuals and multitudes\, Jodi Dean a
 rgues that we need to rethink the collective subject of politics. When cro
 wds appear in spaces unauthorized by capital and the state—such as in the 
 Occupy movement in New York\, London and across the world—they create a ga
 p of possibility. But too many on the Left remain stuck in this beautiful 
 moment of promise—they argue for more of the same\, further fragmenting is
 sues and identities\, rehearsing the last thirty years of left-wing defeat
 . In Crowds and Party\, Dean argues that previous discussions of the party
  have missed its affective dimensions\, the way it operates as a knot of u
 nconscious processes and binds people together. Dean shows how we can see 
 the party as an organization that can reinvigorate political practice.\n\n
 This event is sponsored by Critical Social Theory at McGill with support f
 rom the Yan P. Lin Centre's Research Group on Constitutional Studies.\n
