This interdisciplinary anthology brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the globe, fostering a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributions from esteemed scholars and artists such as Asef Bayat, Joshua Clover, Vaginal Davis, Keller Easterling, Zena Edwards, Nadine El-Enany, Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar, Gauri Gill, Natasha Ginwala, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Louis Henderson, Satch Hoyt, Hamid Khan, Gal Kirn, Josh Kun, Léopold Lambert, Margit Mayer, Vivek Narayanan, Ai Ogawa, Oana Pârvan, Elizabeth A.
