Abstract

The Egyptian revolution/uprising is a disruptive moment of politics that should not be confined to the limiting scope of institutional transformations. This chapter explores the role of space, be it physical or virtual, in relation to the body and the geography of power inasmuch as public spaces and the bodies of protesters become sites of contestation between protest tactics and strategies of oppression, producing disruptions that go beyond the normative assessment of success and failure. These opposing forces have informed one another, producing a disruption of the political order, despite the institutional outcome of the protests and the rise of a hegemonic repressive military regime in Egypt.
