Chapter 2 concerns the impact of immediacy on publicly engaged cultural and political thought, as manifest within online journals, social media and other digital engagements with the occupation movement. While developing a concept of "live theory," its central concern is questioning what is thinkable when realtime temporality restrains interrogation of the past and consideration of the future alike, such that thought is restricted only to the actual of the possible rather than the actual of the virtual event. Briefly, if memory and imagination alike are curtailed in such an environment as Virilio suggests, the concern of the chapter is the manner in which theorists are resisting such effects by rendering the virtual within the actual perceptible, even amidst difficult circumstances.
