Abstract

How might the practice of radical placemaking make new lifeworlds possible? In this commentary, I respond to Kass and Dunlap's argument that procedural abolitionism bears responsibility for counterinsurgency in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd rebellion. While I appreciate the urgency of critically examining strategies for abolition, I come to different conclusions than the authors’ divide between procedural, insurrectionary, and autonomous strategies for abolition. Instead, I point to radical placemaking as enacting a solidarity that allows for a prefigurative politics to emerge beyond the boundaries of ideological difference, demonstrating the importance of solidarity in worldmaking.
