ABSTRACT
Recall the moments in stanbul, where a Turkish riot policeman attacked protesters with tear gas in an attempt to prevent them from gathering at Gezi Park, the last green area in Taksim Square. Taksim Square, the heart of stanbuls entertainment district known for its restaurants, shops and cafes, made a powerful setting for protesters struggle. The Gezi revolt and the alternative political possibilities it has revealed may yet prove to be a catalyst for radical structural change. That realisation should deepen and enrich them. After all, freedom is valuable insofar as it can mean experimenting with the link between what exists and what happens. In this sense, Gezi must not be reduced to its consequences, allowing its virtual aspects to disappear into actual conditions. After all, the virtual aspect of the event bears no relationship with the existing order. The Gezi revolt materialises the becoming of a people without prophets, connected up to a people to come.
