Cosmos
The Centre on Social Movement Studies
The COSMOS Talks are public discussions on cutting edge contentious politics research from across various theoretical, methodological and disciplinary traditions. They aim to provide feedback on preliminary results of current research projects, future research projects proposals and drafts of forthcoming papers, articles and book chapters. The COSMOS Talks also aim at improving synergies and networking among researchers from the COSMOS community as well as from other universities.
We ask presenters to send a paper (of no more than 30 pages) to the organizers, no later than a week before the scheduled talk. Each session lasts for two hours. Paper givers are given maximum 20 minutes to introduce their works. Preselected discussants are given about 10 minutes each to give constructive feedback. The floor will then be open to the public. All participants are asked to read the paper in advance.
The COSMOS Talks series in the academic year 2018/2019 are organized by Alice Mattoni and Lorenzo Zamponi.

Abstract:
At 5pm, Gianpaolo Baiocchi will give a talk to answer one of the most pressing questions in contemporary societies: what does it mean for the people to actually rule? The only answer, Gianpaolo Baiocchi argues, is a radical utopia of popular self-rule.
