Abstract

'The Democratic Sublime' offers an interdisciplinary exploration of how the revolutionary proliferation of popular assemblies - crowds, demonstrations, gatherings of the 'people out of doors' - came to be central to the political aesthetics of democracy during the age of democratic revolutions. Jason Frank argues that popular assemblies allowed the people to manifest as a collective actor capable of enacting dramatic political reforms and change. Moreover, Frank asserts that popular assemblies became privileged sites of democratic representation as they claimed to support the voice of the people while also signaling the material plenitude beyond any single representational claim.
