Abstract

[Soup is a microgranting community dinner that seeks to facilitate urban change within the city of Detroit, USA. The chapter’s examination centers on how the event affords sensations of passion, empowerment, and community amongst its participants, arguing that Soup’s primary mode for instigating urban change lies in its generation and distribution of affects, rather than capital. Through an ethnographic depiction of how Soup operates in practice, the chapter considers how the settings and its objects, together with its participants and performers, creates affordances for strong affective experiences, opening up novel ways of relating to the city and one’s role within it.]
