In order to do so, it proposes to clarify terminological ambiguities and to bring into the analytical scenario new subjects, new means and new connections. The objective is to draw comparative and phenomenological lines between the events of the 2011 ‘Arab Spring,’ in its local ecologies of protest, with its global reverberations as materialized in the slogans, acts and ideals of Greek and Spanish Indignados and the UK and US occupy movements. To borrow Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze’s phrase, we are convinced that ‘everything is political, but every politics is simultaneously a macropolitics and a micropolitics.’ With an eye to open-ended research questions, this article attempts to build a body of theoretical, political and anthropological considerations, which, it is hoped, could function as a case of enquiry into the mechanics of power, revolt and revolution. To counter the trend toward mechanization of research and aridity of critical analysis, this article makes a case for an interdisciplinary quest.

By deconstructing these ‘revolutions’ this part aims to provides an insightful glimpse of their transformative potential.
The second part, 'Unraveling the Uprisings,' focuses on the “Spring” itself by explaining the role of internal and external actors, and uncovering some underexplored dimensions. This issue therefore is divided in three parts: 'The Arab Spring in Perspective' provides an overview and some historical context of the Arab Uprisings to highlight its increasing complexity and interconnectedness in a globalizing world with various competing political groups. How did the Arab Spring change the Middle East? That is the main question on which this fourth issue of R/evolutions wants to zoom in.
