Agile Crowds Lab

Agile Crowds Lab The Agile Crowds Lab focuses on interdisciplinary research in crowd studies, forms of democracy and/or collectivisms, and the social dynamics of groups.

The Agile Crowds Lab, founded in 2015 by Prof. Judith Paltin and graduate students Jesse Colautti, Karen Correia da Silva, Kyla Drzazgowski, and Virginia Alley Hamilton, focuses on interdisciplinary research in crowd studies, forms of democracy and/or collectivisms, the social dynamics of groups and collectivities, and in particular, on literary-fictional crowds as an underused archive in crowd st

udies. Such verbal figurations, while not committed to empirical description, benefit from the freedom to imagine and describe matters differently, and offer a legitimate record of discursive fields, cultural aspiration and praxis, ontological theories, utopian ideals and a broad range of self-conceptions. The modernist archive in particular represents a critical moment in the Anglophone cultural imaginary that acts as a hinge between theorizations of the nineteenth-century citizen-crowd and the contemporary global multitude.
