摘要
The Georgian "Rose Revolution" of 2003 was preceded by events in November 2001, in which students protested against a government raid on a popular TV station, Rustavi 2, and forced then-President Shevardnadze to request the resignation of the Georgian cabinet as the students demanded. This article describes these events in detail to show how political transition in Georgia has been carried out and exemplified by new political rhetorics and metarlietoric that expressly confronted entrenched logics of reception. The article illustrates how shifts in stateformation, in postsocialist contexts in particular, are tied to shifts in representational modes.
