This essay considers how and where current academic thinking about revolution might be situated and where, if anywhere, it might be going. Revolution is (re)considered in an entangled, gurative, zone of awkward engagement(s) as both (deeply) engrained in a useful ‘generational’ analysis and how our analyses might be evolving outside of that or beyond denitions at all.
