(Re)politiser l’espace public

Abstract

In spring 2016, three local assemblies are created in the Parisian northeast on the model of Nuit debout Republique. Situated in a small area, sharing some common participants, all three try to anchor locally the fights while widening the mobilization against the « loi travail ». The opportunities and the constraints of the chosen public places play an important role in the future of these assemblies, all three marked, but according to a different chronology, by a progressive invisibilisation. The article questions relationships with Nuit debout Republic, choices operated to occupy the public space and the trajectories of these three assemblies.
