Abstract The big idea that has emerged in current attempts to understand the Occupymovement is that it has actually achieved ‘something’. This somewhatappeasing statement is not meant to deflate or ignore the achievementsand prospects of the movement. What I mean to point out is thestriking extent to which actually doing ‘something’ in public space, evenonly gaining a measure of mainstream recognition for certain grievances,is the omni-recurrent motif in interpretations of what Occupy represents.
