    Abstract:

    In this paper we examine the local dynamics of the 2011 Israeli social protest, focusing in particular on the tensions between communitas, or the sense of shared purpose and solidarity achieved in liminal spaces such as protest tent encampments, and the continued influence of structural relations of power determining social identities and hierarchies. Based on a combination of ethnographic observations at protest sites and an examination of the discourse produced within and about the protest movement at the time, we aim to reach a better understanding of protest cultures and to consider their long-term implications.
