And so that question of what does that look like the day after when you move from protest to formal engagement was really the ethnographic context in which disappointment came up.

Yeah, I mean, like with Jessica, this sort of emerged very much out of the ethnographic fieldwork I was doing, which was in Buenos Aires in Argentina, where there were kind of two moments and experiences of disappointment kind of folded onto one another.

One was massive disappointment with the failure of structural reform and neoliberal political economic policies in over the course of the 1990s to do what they had promised.

And in fact, they turned out to kind of do the exact opposite.

There was mass immiseration, mass unemployment, and the total collapse really of the Argentine political economy.

And so that financial crisis of 2001, 2002 led to intense disillusionment, disappointment with politics as usual with economic institutions and for many with the very kind of idea of representative politics to be, you know, in general.

And in the aftermath of massive protests that ousted an administration and that demanded something radically new, the kind of famous major protest slogan was down with all of them.

What kind of political possibilities or impossibilities come out of that moment and that disjuncture? And so, again, I do think maybe There were particular expectations, institutionally, socially, politically, that produced disappointment as this sort of shared ethos, but that it's not necessarily going away in terms of its political salience, because we're living in the rubble of that aftermath and that disjuncture.
