Abstract

Die Protestbewegungen der 1960er Jahre kritisierten ein umfassendes, alles durchdringendes autoritäres und repressives System: Dieses System bewirke eine Entfremdung der Individuen von ihren Bedürfnissen und Interessen, welche den Widerstand gegen soziale Herrschaft und kapitalistische Ausbeutung nahezu unmöglich mache. Eine solche Annahme macht jedoch den Standpunkt des Kritikers selbst prekär. Es ist nicht auszuschließen, dass er selbst noch den von ihm kritisierten Bedingungen unterliegt. Dieses Problem der Begründbarkeit einer gesellschaftskritischen Position scheint gerade für die deutsche Protestbewegung zentral geworden zu sein: Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Diskussionen stand die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von notwendiger Selbstveränderung und sozialer oder politischer Veränderung. Die Auseinandersetzung lässt die Kontroversen der »68er« auch aus einer bildungsanalytischen Perspektive interessant werden, da sich in ihnen der problematische Zusammenhang von Prozessen der Selbst- und Weltveränderung entfaltet.

Abstract

Inspired by current debates around political confrontation and the exercise of power, Fabrizio Titone offers an interpretation based on the concept of disciplined dissent. This interpretation is centred on the notion of diffused power and is designed to transcend the binary distinction consensus/resistance. The aim is to identify the conservative process involved in mounting a critique, a protest, through which those who object may have intercepted and then deployed on their own account the cultural repertoire of those in a position of authority. This was with a view to obtaining a hearing, or even influencing the activities of the government and decentering the exercise of power. The essays collected here take as their theoretical point of departure the concept of disciplined dissent. In order to ascertain how adaptable the latter is, the decision was taken to include studies relating to wholly distinct political contexts. Contributions by scholars from different backgrounds shed light upon different circumstances prevailing in continental and non-continental medieval Europe. The aim is to offer a broad spectrum of analyses on political confrontation, the formulation of critiques and the attainment of spaces for participation by means of non-violent protest.--

Abstract

There has been a dramatic increase in the percentage of the US population that is not religious. However, there is, to date, very little research on the social movement that is organizing to serve the needs of and advocate for the nonreligious in the US. This is a book about the rise and structure of organized secularism in the United States. By organized secularism we mean the efforts of nonreligious individuals to build institutions, networks, and ultimately a movement that serves their interests in a predominantly religious society. Researchers from various fields address questions such as: What secularist organizations exist? Who are the members of these organizations? What kinds of organizations do they create? What functions do these organizations provide for their members? How do the secularist organizations of today compare to those of the past? And what is their likely impact on the future of secularism? For anyone trying to understand the rise of the nonreligious in the US, this book will provide valuable insights into organized efforts to normalize their worldview and advocate for their equal treatment in society.

Abstract

Das Weltsozialforum (WSF) ist das Relikt globalisierungskritischer Bewegungen der Jahrtausendwende. Auch über ein Jahrzehnt nach dem ersten WSF 2001 in Porto Alegre (Brasilien) ziehen die Protest-Events zehntausende Gegner_innen neoliberaler Weltordnung an. Mit seiner umfassenden ethnografischen Forschung verfolgt Christian Schröder die Spuren des WSF vom Ursprung bis zum WSF 2013 in Tunesien. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage, wie es dem WSF - anders als vielen anderen Bewegungen - gelingt, so lange fortzubestehen, ohne seinen Bewegungscharakter zu verlieren. Basierend auf umfangreichen Analysen wird das Prinzip der Transpoiesis herausgearbeitet, demzufolge Bewegungen dann überdauern, wenn sie zwischen Zerfall und Institutionalisierung oszillieren. »Die Lektüre dieses Buches ist für alle empfehlenswert, die sich mit Sozialforen, Protestcamps und anderen sogenannten Freiräumen in sozialen Bewegungen beschäftigen. Schröders Bezugnahme auf Forschungsansätze außerhalb der Bewegungsforschung macht das Buch auch für eine breite Leserschaft interessant, die nicht in der Literatur der Bewegungsforschung heimisch ist.« Micha Fiedlschuster, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 28/3 (2015) »[Der Autor] legt insgesamt einen gewissenhaft recherchierten Beitrag vor, der insbesondere aus organisationssoziologischer Perspektive absolut zu empfehlen ist.« Björn Wagner, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 10.09.2015 »Ein ordentlich ausgeführtes, methodologisch einwandfreies Meisterstück, das für Soziologen, Politikwissenschaftler, politische Aktivisten (und vielleicht auch für Geheimdienste) von Interesse sein könnte.« Georg Auernheimer, www.socialnet.de, 03.06.2015 Besprochen in: WDR - Funkhaus Europa, 24.03.2015, Martina Sabra Contraste, 10 (2015), Bernd Hüttner

Abstract

"Mock funerals, effigy parading, smearing with eggs and tomatoes, pot-banging and Carnival street theatre, arson and ransacking: all these seemingly archaic forms of action have been regular features of modern European protest, from the 19th to the 21st century. In a wide chronological and geographical framework, this book analyses the uses, meanings, functions and reactivations of folk imagery, behaviour and language in modern collective action. The authors examine the role of protest actors as diverse as peasants, liberal movements, nationalist and separatist parties, anarchists, workers, students, right-wing activists and the global justice movement. So-called traditional repertoires have long been described as residual and obsolete. This book challenges the conventional distinction between pre-industrial and post-1789 forms of collective action, which continues to operate as a powerful dichotomy in the understanding of protest, and casts new light on rituals and symbolic performances that, albeit poorly understood and deciphered, are integral to our protest repertoire."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Activists and politicians have long recognized the power of a good story to move people to action. In early 1960 four black college students sat down at a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave. Within a month sit-ins spread to thirty cities in seven states. Student participants told stories of impulsive, spontaneous action-this despite all the planning that had gone into the sit-ins. "It was like a fever," they said. Francesca Polletta's It Was Like a Fever sets out to account for the power of storytelling in mobilizing political and social movements. Drawing on cases ranging from sixteenth-century tax revolts to contemporary debates about the future of the World Trade Center site, Polletta argues that stories are politically effective not when they have clear moral messages, but when they have complex, often ambiguous ones. The openness of stories to interpretation has allowed disadvantaged groups, in particular, to gain a hearing for new needs and to forge surprising political alliances. But popular beliefs in America about storytelling as a genre have also hurt those challenging the status quo. A rich analysis of storytelling in courtrooms, newsrooms, public forums, and the United States Congress, It Was Like a Fever offers provocative new insights into the dynamics of culture and contention.
