“1968-2018, fifty years after:
Where is the social movement field going?”
organized by
COSMOS/SNS, ECPR/SG P&M, ESA/RN25 at Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence, Italy
23-25 of May 2018
Lorenzo Bosi (Scuola Normale Superiore, COSMOS), Joost de Moor (Keele University) and Kateřina Vráblíková (The Ohio State University)
2018 will mark the anniversary of the 1968 wave of mobilizations: from French May, over Anti-Vietnam War protests, to the Tlatelolco massacre and Prague Spring. The 1968 protest cycle considerably shaped social movements, political parties, universities, states, and societies as well as the social movement scholarship. Taking the 1968 anniversary as a stimulating moment for reflection, this conference seeks to provide space for looking at the implications of that period on social movement research as well as addressing a number of key questions in current social movement research. For instance: How have the theoretical and methodological approaches in the social movements field evolved in the aftermath of 1968? How did issues of protest change: which have emerged, disappeared or taken new forms? What is the impact of protest? When do movements bring about social change? How do social movements select their strategies? How do they interact with other actors like parties, interest groups or NGO’s? Where do protestors end up in the aftermath of mobilization? What is the role of memory in social movements mobilization? What is the impact of individualisation on contentious politics? What is the role of media coverage and new communication technologies? This conference will bring together both emerging and established scholars from various disciplines who will address these and other questions.
