Performative
Revolution in Egypt by Jeffrey Alexander
provides a sociological analysis of competing
symbols and narratives in a chronicle of the
uprising in Egypt through the lens of media
reports and activist-generated accounts.
Ryan Evans
reviews the essay and finds that despite the
author's explicit focus on the 'performance' of
the revolution itself, it brings the dissonance
between this performance and its deliverables
to the fore.
