Gerges’ meditation on “How the Arab Uprisings Beat al Qaeda”; Vandana Shiva’s “War Against the Earth”; Eyal Weizman on “Material Proportionality”; Judith Butler on “Bodily Vulnerability, Coalitions and Street Politics”; Franco Berardi on “Pasolini in Tottenham”; Saskia Sassen on “Urban Capabilities”; and T.J.
