The 2011 Egyptian uprising, which brought an end to Hosni Mubarak's 30-year presidency, focused attention around the world on Cairo's Tahrir ('Liberation') Square. This became a focal point both for demonstrators and the Mubarak regime (not to mention media and commentators worldwide), and the 'vital signs' of both the uprising and the regime were frequently read through the events taking place in Tahrir at any given moment. Three years later, any 'revolution' remains far from complete, but I suggest that the occupation of Tahrir during 18 days of January and February 2011 can teach us a great deal about the revolutionary potential of the body and the importance of public space in producing new social and political structures through embodied practices. Feminist geographers have illustrated how geopolitical conflicts at the national and international levels create crises for bodies on the ground, and in the context of the Egyptian Uprising, anti-regime protestors indeed faced manifestations of the same violence on which the regime long rested its security, embodied by security forces and their instruments of inflicting harm and limiting mobility. At the same time, however, we can see in Tahrir the body's potential for creating crises for the state. In this article, I examine the ways in which the body, and groups of bodies, resisted the Mubarak regime and produced Tahrir as a revolutionary space, relying on media accounts, including media live-blogs that incorporated protestors' reports from the square, and a 'how-to-revolt' guide circulated by activists.
