Abstract: While the exhortation to patience is commonplace in literary and religious traditions acrossthe world, equally widespread are diverging etiquettes of patience and varied histories of itsreception. The focus in this essay is on the medieval reception of patience in the Islamic worldand the manifold ways in which that history has informed its modern invocations. Finally, thepolitical purchase of patience is brought under relief by juxtaposing competing languages ofstatecraft in Iran and the United States.

Abstract: The first serious and sustained literary response to cultural acceleration in modern society comes not from Benjamin or Simmel, as some have suggested, nor the work of Baudelaire and Flaubert, but the poetic experiments of Wordsworth. At the turn of the nineteenth-century Wordsworth confronted an impatient mediascape, inhabited by readers requiring "outrageous stimulation" that the "rapid communication of intelligence hourly gratifies." He published poetry that programmatically tried the patience of his readers and changed the course of literary history. He also evolved a theory of patience, passion, and poetic genius that shaped literature and criticism through the twentieth century, but had its opponents early and late, from Percy Shelley to Raymond Williams.

Abstract: The play of patience and impatience is often powerfully active in the experiences of the clinic. The onset of an illness, the exposure to suffering, and the awareness of our mortality that it awakens compel us to negotiate and renegotiate our relationships with time and with others. Seen in this way, drawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, what emerges is not a fixed value but rather a continuous axis in relation to which we valorize the complex and multifaceted ways in which we relate to the unfolding of time.

Abstract:Crowds have diverse meanings and serve varied functions for their participants and observers. To make sense of this diversity, the ontology of crowds can be understood through two dimensions: (1) global/collective processes versus local/individual processes; and (2) symbolic benefits/costs versus concrete benefits/costs. Combining these dimensions yields four ideal types: crowds as symbols, crowds as identities, crowds as networks, and crowds as power. This essay explores how people relate to crowds from these perspectives and the political implications of their doing so.

Abstract:This essay argues that aesthetic works offer an understanding of the performativity of democratic protests and crowd action. It analyzes a handful of artworks from the Ukrainian Revolution of 2013–2014. The article demonstrates how aesthetic works express what may be termed political emergence: people who have no say in political institutions come together to change the political order. Aesthetic works enable an understanding of political emergence that is mostly unavailable to the social sciences, history, and journalism. The article contends that analysis of crowd action and twenty-first-century collective protest in particular would gain from theoretical and methodological efforts to conjoin social research and aesthetic analysis.

Abstract:Crowd psychologist Gustave Le Bon is often seen as emblematic of fin-de-siècle crowd theory. Widely read in the 1890s, Le Bon's work was later critiqued for its gendered descriptions and political biases. This essay reconsiders fin-de-siècle crowd theory in light of postcolonial critique and asks whether parts of this tradition merit attention in discussion of crowd action today. While Le Bon's work is based on a racial hierarchy and subscribes to a colonial episteme, the situation is more complex when it comes to sociologists such as Gabriel Tarde and Émile Durkheim. While elements of their work can be subjected to postcolonial critique, their theorization on crowds points to distinctly collective dimensions of crowd action that are important to revive.
摘要:群体心理学家古斯塔夫·勒邦(Gustave Le Bon)常被视为“最终社会主义”群体理论的代表人物。勒庞的作品在19世纪90年代广为阅读，但后来因其性别描述和政治偏见而受到批评。本文从后殖民主义批判的角度重新审视了“自我终结”的群体理论，并询问这一传统的某些部分是否值得在今天的群体行动讨论中得到关注。勒庞的作品以种族等级为基础，认同殖民主义的认知，但在加布里埃尔·塔尔德(Gabriel Tarde)和Émile涂尔干(Durkheim)等社会学家的作品中，情况就更为复杂了。虽然他们的工作元素可以受到后殖民主义的批评，但他们关于群体的理论指出了群体行动的明显集体维度，这对复兴很重要。

Abstract:How are ideas transformed into collective causes that can rally and sustain protest crowds? We present a theoretical framework of crowd mobilization through the perspective of distributed cognition. We look at protest crowds as distributed processes that happen across brains, bodies, social interactions, and material-technological resources. This perspective is illustrated by protest crowd dynamics as they are facilitated by social interaction, symbols, narrative forms, and physical and virtual spaces.

Abstract:Although often ignored in one's daily routine, monuments can serve as potent magnets for crowd gatherings in unveilings, preservation, and protest. The materiality of the monument provides a point of collective attention that binds participants in common cause within a civic space. When successful, these gatherings depend on enacting a set of processes: planning, organizing, gathering, performing, and dispersing. Each occurs within the context of state sponsorship or opposition. As is evident from cases in colonial New York and contemporary Virginia, monuments, no longer mute, can speak to crowds with shared images of morality and justice in their metal and marble materiality.
