Temporalités (Dec 2015)
Temps et activités de revendication à Moscou
Abstract
The article proposes to identify some temporal aspects surrounding protests in Moscow. The data is based on a partially cinematographic investigation into protest coalitions that formed at the turn of 2000 and 2010 around salient events (police violence against young people in April 2008, double political murder in January 2009, mobilization against a highway project through the Khimki forest, in the north of the capital). Its goal is twofold: the article describes first the various pragmatic and normative constraints on protest activities envisaged in their spatial and temporal anchoring and thickness. In a second phase it traces the plurality of ways activist groups control their time. It raises the question of the ability of these groups to access to selected times, despite the constraints.
