Disappointment: Resisting in the Wake of Failure

My current research examines the political potential of disappointment within the modern revolutionary tradition of political thought. It explores how an engagement with past disappointments can help us confront the challenges involved in resisting oppression and reanimate resistance in the present era of disillusion. In addition to existential, Marxist and postcolonial theoretical sources, I draw on practical insights from the 2011 Egyptian Revolution.
