| Résumé: | Analyses of the contemporary alterglobalization movement increasingly emphasize dimensions of autonomy, whose ultimate origins lie in theories of agency understood as sovereignty.

Recognising this is central to understanding ethics, agency, and subjectivity and to understanding movements as a space of experience. |
