Conclusion

Abstract

Abstract Through an intertextual frame, this chapter offers reflective insights by way of conclusion. Taming the revolution critically and briefly brings into conversation peoplehood and democratization, heuristics and empirics. This is linked to the lens of protestscape interpretations, as an epistemology of writing revolution, in our case Tunisia’s. Protestscapes reveal peoplehood as agency, affect and cognition, interweaving with and through time and space. A key conundrum of revolution addressed here is how the people can go “missing.” Revolution can be fleeting and/or is never “whole.” Nor is democracy. The chapter considers how dissensus and agonism coproduce politics and democracy, against the backdrop of revolution.
