Doug McAdam, Freedom Summer. Luttes pour les droits civiques
No full textLa parution en français du présent ouvrage constitue un petit évènement. Depuis sa première publication en 1988 sous le titre Freedom Summer. The idealists revisited, celui-ci s’est en effet imposé comme un classique de la littérature sociologique américaine sur les mouvements sociaux et Doug McAdam, son auteur, comme un des spécialistes mondialement reconnus de ce champ d’études. On ne peut donc que se réjouir de cette traduction française qui, en permettant l’accès au public francophone à c..
Ballots and Barricades: On the Reciprocal Relationship between Elections and Social Movements
No full textWhy do two cognate literatures—social movements and electoral studies—travel along parallel paths with little conversation between them? And what can be done to connect them in the future? Drawing on their work with the late Charles Tilly onDynamics of Contention(2001), Doug McAdam and Sidney Tarrow examine two important studies that approach (but do not effect such a linkage), propose a mechanism-based set of linkages between elections and social movements, and apply their approach in a preliminary examination of the relations between the American anti-war movement after 9/11 and the Democratic Party.</jats:p

Five Star Movement
No full textThe Five Star Movement (FSM) was born in 2009 after a wave of protests (so called “V days”) against the political establishment initiated by a famous Italian comedian, Beppe Grillo. Because of its hybrid nature, with one foot in the party system and the other one in the social movement arena, the FSM has been considered a “movement party,” displaying specific organizational and ideological linkages with social movements. However, since entering national institutions in 2013 the party has gradually detached from social movements. Nonetheless, during the first years of its life it maintained some kind of programmatic, biographic, and geographic proximity with local conflicts despite avoiding any type of coalition and cooperation with movements. The distance toward the latter has increased over time, and the role of movement claims, unconventional forms of action, and the presence of movement activists within its ranks has been marginalized since 2018 when the FSM became a relevant member of the ruling coalitions. Following a process of institutionalization, the party has become part of the same establishment it fiercely opposed at its birth, losing all linkages with the grassroots
Bringing Morality Back in:Three Interviews
No full textThis chapter presents three interviews with three influential voices in the field of social movement and civil society studies, namely, those of Doug McAdam, Jeffrey Alexander, and Nina Eliasoph. They all share their perspectives on social movements’ role in society’s moral development, the role of morality internally in social movements, and the role of morality for social science as a practice. In addition, they each discuss the moral foundations and implications of three global contentious struggles: Doug McAdam discusses the background and implications of the 2021 riot at Capitol Hill as related to a global right-wing backlash protest cycle. Jeffrey Alexander discusses the cultural and moral significance of the #MeeToo movement and how it demonstrates the potentials of a global civil sphere. Finally, Nina Eliasoph discusses how the climate crisis presents itself as unimaginable in the sense that it will change everyone’s way of life so profoundly that we cannot imagine what the future may be like and suggests that prefigurative communities is one way activists can approach such a political issue
Movimentos sociais e eleições: por uma compreensão mais ampla do contexto político da contestação Social movements and elections: toward a broader understanding of the political context of contention
Get PDFPor que duas literaturas cognatas - estudos eleitorais e de movimentos sociais - seguem trajetórias paralelas e pouco dialogam? E o que se pode fazer para conectá-las no futuro? Partindo de seu trabalho com Charles Tilly sobre as dinâmicas do confronto (Dynamics of Contention, 2001), Dough McAdam e Sydney Tarrow analisam as conexões entre movimentos sociais e eleições, propõem um conjunto articulado de vínculos entre eleições e movimentos sociais e aplicam sua abordagem a um exame preliminar das relações entre eleições, movimentos e políticas de confronto racial nos Estados Unidos.Why do two cognate literatures - social movements and electoral studies -travel along parallel paths with little conversation between them?
