Abstract

ABSTRACT This article chronicles the protests in China against COVID policies that erupted in late November 2022, focusing on a detailed account of the events on Wulumuqi Road in Shanghai within the context of the historical, architectural, and social character of that neighborhood. Situating the protests in the context of the weak state of critical discourse in contemporary China—some have termed this an aspect of “depoliticization”—the article suggests that the current critical void contributes to the difficulties in building ameaningful and sustainable social movements.
