Social Movements and Everyday Acts of Resistance: Solidarity in a Changing World: Routledge Studies in Political Sociology

Editat de Stamatis Poulakidakos, Anastasia Veneti, Maria Rovisco
en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2023
This book focuses on small-scale mobilisation and everyday social movements that take the form of grassroots resistance and solidarity initiatives. Through a series of case studies drawn from the UK, Europe, India, and Latin America, it examines the dynamics and role of micro-acts of resistance, with attention to a range of themes including organisational issues, the construction of collective identity, strategies, tactics and participation, and media representations and public perception of small-scale social movements. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, media and communication and politics with interests in social movements, political mobilisation and activism.

Recenzii

"This edited collection is exceptional compared to what is usually published in the social movements’ scholarship, because it focuses on everyday micro-acts of offline and online resistance and solidarity initiatives rather than on mass mobilizations and protests".
Athina Karatzogianni, Professor in Media and Communication, University of Leicester, UK
"Far from the dazzling lights of global protests, a much-needed book that casts light on the myriads of practices of prefigurative politics that animate small-scale social movements across the world. Relying on a wide array of exciting case studies from both the Global North and the South, this volume reignites hope in the power of solidarity and social change in the face of uncertainty".
Dr Emiliano Treré, Reader in Data Agency and Media Ecologies, Cardiff University, UK. Author of "Hybrid Media Activism" (2019), winner of the Outstanding Book Award of the ICA Interest Group ‘Activism, Communication and Social Justice’
"This edited collection offers a fascinating account of everyday politics of resistance, of experiments in alternative ways of doing, working and living that receive less attention in the academic literature than spectacular protests and demonstrations. Bringing together case studies of solidarity clinics, workers’ cooperatives, metal music stores and social media activism from countries as diverse as Greece, Italy, Argentina, India, Latin America, Syria and the UK, this book shows the enduring impact of social movements when their alternative visions are applied in practice in their participants’ everyday lived experience."
Dr. Anastasia Kavada, Reader in Media and Politics, School of Media and Communication, University of Westminster
