The project Discursive Conditions of Radical Politics explores the new spaces of radical politics in Algeria, Lebanon, and Sudan in an interdisciplinary perspective and through a mixed-method approach attuned to the interaction processes between regimes and their contenders. The analytical focus is on the relations between eventful dynamics and their inter-pretive context, and on the mediated narratives by which contenders legitimise or reject the adoption of violence as part of these dynamics. By examining how these discourses constitute the boundaries of so-cial claims and contentious performances, the project aims to show how two eminent social arenas—street politics and the “politics of signification” —interrelate and inform conflict trajectories.
