This special issue of Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change highlights the importance of visuals in the current study of social movements. It is indispensable reading as it introduces new analytical concepts and methodological frameworks for understanding visuals in social movements; combining cultural and political analysis in a fresh, unique and interdisciplinary way. The articles featured in this special issue examine visual expressions of social movements through case studies from across the globe; including: injustice symbols in the Egyptian uprising; contested images from anti-surveillance protests in Germany; gendered visualization of local activism; commemorative videos of activists in recent European protests; and images used in Australian movements against abortion. In the open section of the volume articles examine the work of renowned political science scholar Charles Tilly, and discuss classic concepts in social movement studies. Firstly, considering the concept of “repertoire of contention” in order to understand the use of distinct contentious performances in Latin America. Secondly, analyzing the role of “storytelling” in the construction of trust and blame in social movements.

Der Klimawandel stellt Gesellschaften weltweit vor gewaltige Herausforderungen. Im Begriff der Nachhaltigkeit ist der scheinbare Konsens darüber, was angesichts dieser Bedrohung Priorität haben sollte, kondensiert. Doch diese Einmütigkeit bricht in Konflikte darüber auf, was genau unter Klimaschutz und nachhaltiger Lebensführung zu verstehen ist: Wie und von wem kann das erreicht werden und inwiefern liegen bei diesen Bestrebungen grundlegende Unverträglichkeiten mit demokratischen Systemen vor? Die Beiträger*innen nehmen sich dieser Fragen an und stellen konzeptionellen Beiträgen zum Verhältnis von Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit und Konflikt empirische Arbeiten zu Protesten zur Seite.
