Don’t get me wrong, I think Juris’ ethnography of the anti-corporate globalization movement offers probably the most comprehensive discussion of the movement (at least in Western Europe) yet available.

Yet his abiltity to define terms leaves a little something to be desired. See for yourself:

By performative violence, I mean a mode of meaningful interaction through which actors construct social reality based on available cultural templates.

What… does that mean anything?
