International Study Group on New Forms of Public Agency&#160;ArgumentNew forms of public agency carried by persons and in collectivity bring forth the everyday life politics, the phenomenological dimensions of politics. Citizens acting together and enacting in public, manifest collectively their presence, are resetting democratic agendas and questioning pre-established social contracts. The traditional Public Square or Ma&#239;dan becomes the hub of urban democratic imaginaries as actors from different horizons and array of groups occupy the place and turn it into a theatrical scene. Public space democracy emerges on its own political terms, in distinction from avenues of parties and voting. New forms of public agency in relation to social movements, but also in difference from political collective action and intrinsically related to the person and to the subjective realm will be examined.09.00 Welcoming Coffee09.30 Nil&#252;fer G&#246;le, Reflections on public agency and public (un)making 10.00 Roundtable 1: Conceptual Framing: Public Square &#38; Protests10.00 Levent Yilmaz, Notes on the pre-history of the concept of place 10.20 Umut Ozkirimli, From protest to politics: Mapping the conceptual field10.40 Boyan Znepolski, What theory for the new protest movements? 11.00 Questions and discussion11.45 Lunch Break&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#160;13.30 Roundtable 2: Case study: Gezi Movement &#38; its aftermath13.30 Baran Uncu, Embedding the prefigurations of Gezi Protests: The rhizomatic spread of new subjectivities and politicizedidentities 13.50 G&#246;kce Tuncel, From stadium to the streets: &#199;arşı as a spearhead in Gezi 14.10 Buket T&#252;rkmen, The actors of democracy watch in Turkey:Towards a non-public construction of the space?14.30 Questions and discussion15.15 Coffee Break15.30 Roundtable 3: Repertoire of contention: Counterpublics &#38; civic power15.30 Konstantinos Eleftheriadis, &#8216;Je ne suis pas Charlie&#8217;: Disidentification as a form of public agency15.50 Tom Junes, New Public Agency versus historical continuities in protest repertoires: The case of Ukraine and Poland16.10 Pablo Ouziel, Collective presences and representative governance.
