Abstract A lathi has a flesh of its own. Gandhi carried one, the police carries its own. Fashioned of wood thinned out and stemmed long, lathis being sold in shops are as unnerving as when clutched in hands, building authority. In one, it refuses to be simply ornamental, in the other, it marks bodies with legality. Authority emanates from this marking, the blood that spills and the deaths of which accountability is in its invisibility of documentation. Lathis are charged on the suspecting/unsuspecting who force an appearance in spaces distanced from actual belonging. In this article, there is a narrative of such a breakdown of the conflict itself, the space and the appearances. Reading through affect is a lot about undoing; grand concepts, strict functioning, identities addressed. Affect also has a lot to do with attachments. And attachments flow in and out of a network wherever bodies gather, in assemblies, demonstrations, in strikes and in riots. In these attachments, decisions are felt which later empiricist read as fixity of ideas and ideologies, only later, but affect is in the now.

抗议与城市：论对象、影响和脆弱性

摘要 拉蒂有自己的肉。甘地带着一个，警察带着自己的。用细长的木头制成，在商店里出售的车床就像握在手中一样令人不安，建立权威。一方面，它拒绝只是装饰性的，另一方面，它标志着身体的合法性。权威源于这种标记，流淌的鲜血和死亡的责任在于其文件的不可见性。Lathis 被指控为怀疑/毫无戒心的人，他们强迫在远离实际归属的空间中露面。在这篇文章中，有一个关于冲突本身、空间和外观的分解的叙述。通读情感与撤销有关；宏大的概念，严格的功能，处理的身份。影响也与附件有很大关系。无论身体在哪里聚集，在集会、示威、罢工和骚乱中，附件都会流入和流出网络。在这些依附中，可以感受到后来的经验主义者将其理解为观念和意识形态的固定性的决定，只是后来，但影响就在现在。
