520 8 |a What roles do our identities play in democratic politics? When we participate in citizens' assemblies or in social movement gatherings, we are judged by how we look, which clothes we wear, by our skin colour, gender and body language. This book explores radical democratic acts of disidentification to counter this problem. Anonymity in masked protest, pamphleteering, graffiti, and online debate interrupts our everyday identities. By concealing our identities, anonymity allows us to live our multiple selves. In the digital age, anonymity becomes an inherent part of everyday communication. Through our smart devices we express our selves differently. As cyborgs our identities are disrupted and reassembled. We curate self-representations on social media, create avatars, share selfies and choose the skin colour of our emojis.
