ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters. This book discusses the claims in the book with an imaginary challenger: the political scientist and philosopher Hannah Arendt via her main arguments in the book On Revolution. Even though one could disagree with the interpretation of the American Revolution, which Arendt portrays as a success compared to the French Revolution in the eighteenth century. The book argues that the lack of generalisable potentials that are not important from a pragmatic point of view, and acknowledge that political processes that are filled with affects, desires, fascination, attractions, and repulsions. An objection, which Butler deals with the 'vulnerability', is often used strategically. The book concludes with the certainty that digitally mediated vulnerability, and the affective processes that it generates, is increasingly important, powerful, and unpredictable political forces of mobilisation and virtualisation.
