Abstract
This article examines new forms of collectivity and related forms of political action. It is based on interviews with activists involved in the EuroMayDay movement in Hamburg—a group of precarious freelancers, organized in the initiative Lux & Konsorten to advocate for their right to a decent life in the city. A reflection on the limits of the politics of representation points to the challenges associated with understanding the heterogeneity of subject positions in organizations and rethinking the notions of critique, resistance, and potential autonomous spaces (Freiräume) in the context of post-Fordist everyday life. It uses a neo-materialist perspective to address the question of how the collective can constitute itself such that differences in the field of radical city politics are upheld and the act of writing on protest is not reduced to discursive traces.
