In the face of unfreedom, how do those seeking common cause find one another when all they share is a desire to change the world? What binds them and differentiates them? What values adhere, orient, and inflect their coordinated action, speech, and esthetic production? Under conditions of chronic securitization, impassivity and participatory authoritarianism are dominant responses to declining democratic civic life. Cruising politics proposes a praxis of democratizing insecurity that redistributes exposure, vulnerability, and risk in ways that prefiguratively reshape how and in what manner decisions are made. Cruising politics proposes that pleasurable affects of auto-affectionate desire allow the amassing heterogeneous assemblages of convergent trajectories in agonistic democratic movements that mobilize recurrent assemblies, prime popular opinion, and shape politics electorally and beyond.
