Stasis has reemerged in recent accounts of resistance. In this paper that draws from ethnographic research with a youth antiauthoritarian community in Cyprus and their long-term occupation of a city square, I provide a broader theorization of this multi-semantic concept that has hitherto been missing from accounts on stasis commonly found in literature on the squares movement(s). I argue that stasis constitutes a key form of resistance to modern forms of power by pausing the circulation of capitalism and scheduled time and subverting the production of subjectivities that support such circulation. By drawing on Nicole Loraux’s interpretation of stasis as “movement at rest,” I overturn the negative connotations often associated with stasis as (unwanted) immobility by showing how stasis can be a desired political action that includes forms of mobility and circulation within it. Developing this theorization further, I analyze stasis as a threshold to critical political subjectivization, as productive of ipostasis (existence) that enables the subjects under stasis to appear in political terms and exercise their right to politics. I thus contribute to recent literature on the political potential and existential necessity of occupying practices that allow for a politicizing of the urban everyday.

煽动性暂停,故意泊位:为电阻

在最近关于抵抗的报道中,停滞现象再次出现。在这篇论文中,我对塞浦路斯的一个青年反独裁社区及其长期占领城市广场的人种学研究进行了研究,我为这个多语义概念提供了一个更广泛的理论化,迄今为止,在文学中常见的停滞现象的描述中缺少这种概念。在方块运动上。我认为,通过暂停资本主义的循环和预定的时间并颠覆支持这种循环的主体性的生产,停滞构成了对现代权力形式的一种主要抵抗形式。通过借鉴 Nicole Loraux 对stasis为“静止运动”的解释,我推翻了经常与通过展示停滞如何成为一种理想的政治行动,包括其中的流动和流通形式,从而将停滞视为(不需要的)不动。进一步发展这一理论,我将停滞分析为批判政治主观化的门槛,作为使停滞状态下的主体能够以政治术语出现并行使政治权利的ipostasis(存在)的产物。因此,我为最近关于政治潜力和居住实践的存在必要性的文献做出了贡献,这些实践允许将城市日常生活政治化。
