PresentationNew 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.Programme09.00&#160;Welcoming Coffee09.30&#160;Nilüfer G&#246;le, General introduction10.30 Session 110.30&#160;Pablo Ouziel,&#160;&#8216;Beingness&#8217;, institutionality and transmutationwithin the 15M Climate: From 15M to Podemos10.50&#160;S&#233;bastian Veg,&#160;Creating a textual public space:Slogans and texts from Hong Kong&#8217;s Umbrella Movement11.10&#160;Baran Uncu,&#160;Embedding the prefigurations of Gezi Protests: the rhizomatic spread of new subjectivities and politicized identities11.30 General discussion12.30 Lunch Break13.30 Session 213.30&#160;Elina Kourempana,&#160;The December 2008 uprising in Athens: Street resistance, democratic disobedience and rebellion13.50&#160;Tom Junes,&#160;Youth, historical traditions, and memory politics in protestrepertoires: Ukraine's Euromaidan revolution and new public agency in postcommunistEastern Europe14.10&#160;Buket Türkmen,&#160;The actors of &#8220;Democracy Watch&#8221; in Turkey: The non-public construction of the space?14.30 General discussion15.15 Coffee Break15.30 Session 315.30&#160;Jean Philippe B&#233;ja,&#160;Beijing, Tiananmen 1989 and Hong KongUmbrella Movement: A new form of political participation?15.50&#160;G&#246;k&#231;e Tuncel,&#160;New forms of public agency in a public square movement: &#199;arşı at the Gezi Park Protests in Istanbul16.10 Session 416.10&#160;Levent Yılmaz,&#160;Spectacle of power: Public gatherings16.30&#160;Boyan Znepolski,&#160;What theory for the new protest movements?On the perspectives of Mouffe, Zizek and Butler16.50 General discussion17.30 ConclusionProject Directed by Nilüfer G&#246;le EHESS/NOMISTeam membersWarda HadjabZeynep UğurG&#246;k&#231;e TuncelRegistrations viapublicdemosgroups@gmail.com
