Abstract: This is the editorial introduction to the special issue Becoming Rebels: From Everyday Acts of Protest to Radical Imaginaries and Societal Change. The editors discuss the global backdrop to contemporary protest politics, and argue for the importance of understanding activism through an everyday lens. Ethnographic research on everyday activism help us better understand the imbrications between shifting subjectivities, activists experiences, strategies and practices, and their politics of maneuvering. The introduction then presents the contributions in the special issue, which include articles, essays, book reviews and interviews. The editors end with some personal and academic reflections on what it means to becoming rebels in their own field of academia, and how they - and the activists portrayed in this special issue - may all act rebellious and push for transformative change.
