Extractions: Spring 1997 This course is designed to acquaint you with the field of Social Movements, broadly defined. We begin with a brief look at the origins of the field and early theories and then go on to systematically cover the major theoretical approaches to social movements along with some empirical applications of those theories. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Seminar Participation Research Paper Due June 9 by 10AM (No extensions under normal circumstances) The term paper is to use two or more of the theoretical approaches to social movements covered in class to analyze a social movement of your choice. It is expected that students will conduct research on the movement, pose a problem/issue that is central to it, and write an intelligent essay that juxtaposes how the various approaches would analyze it. It is essential that the essays be argued from students own perspective. In other words, make it clear which perspective you think is best and why. I have assigned John Lofland s Social Movement Organizations , which is a guide to research on social movements. This book will help you get started on your research papers.

Extractions: For the first time in a single volume, leading social movement researchers map the full range of applications of network concepts and tools to their field of inquiry. They illustrate how networks affect individual contributions to collective action in both democratic and non-democratic organizations; how patterns of inter-organizational linkages affect the circulation of resources both within movement milieus and between movement organizations and the political system; how network concepts and techniques may improve our grasp of the relationship between movements and elites, of the configuration of alliance and conflict structures, of the clustering of episodes of contention in protest cycles. Social Movements and Networks casts new light on our understanding of social movements and cognate social and political processes.

Extractions: Memo No. 26 PONARS, 1998 Foreign Funding of Social Movements in Russia Valerie Sperling Harvard University, January 1998 Over the course of the last several years, the United States government and private US foundations have allocated funding to support the development of a women's movement in Russia. These funds are intended to foster the development of a civil society and a market economy. Although the funding brings important benefits to the emergent women's movement, it also creates unexpected side effects. This paper analyzes the impact of foreign funding on the internal dynamics of the Russian women's movement. The analysis suggests that Russia's current economic infrastructure makes social movements receptive to foreign funding, and that foreign funds provide essential support for the Russian women's movement. However, without certain safeguards, the foreign funding itself may undermine the goals that motivate its provision in the first place. International influences, including funding, affect a social movement's incentive structure. They affect the movement's relationship to the state and the population, sometimes legitimizing movement demands in the eyes of officials, while alienating the movement from the population at the same time. Foreign funding is particularly important, in that it affects inter-group relationships, and helps explain why women's groups in Moscow do not collaborate more with each other, even when they have similar goals and strategies. It also helps to explain why groups do not engage in membership-building as a priority.

From here you can link to three sub-areas: Brief statements from working-group members on relevant topics Papers and other documents on relevant topics Information from the March 9-10 meeting in Cambridge Citations and links recommended for further reading ... Suggested reading/bibliography (maintained by Michael McQuarrie) These questions were proposed by Francesca Polletta and Marshall Ganz as part of the workshop: How do stories work? When do we turn to story? If we think of storytelling as a performance rather than a text, then what makes for "bad" and "good" performances? What can you do with stories that you cannot do with other discursive forms? And what can you not do with stories? How and when do stories constrain? And how and when do they enable? Do narrative plots inevitably reproduce the status quo? Under what conditions do the stories people tell in their everyday lives warrant neither accommodation nor individualized resistance but overt and collective opposition? How do the institutional contexts within which storytelling takes place shape what one can and cannot do with stories? How do institutional conventions influence what kinds of stories and storytellers are seen as credible, appropriate, and authoritative? How does the cultural status of story shape what activists can do with stories?
Stories Of Change Narrative & Social Movements

http://www.virginia.edu/sociology/publications/joedavis1.htm

Extractions: Narrative and Social Movements edited by Joseph E. Davis Despite the amount of storytellin in social movements, little attention has been paid to narrative as a form of movement discourse or as a mode of social interaction. Stories of Change is a systrmatic study of narrative as well as a demonstration of the power of narrative analysis to illuminate many features of contemporary social movements. Davis includes a wide array of stories of change - stories of having been harmed or wronged, stories of conflict with unjust authorities, stories of liberation and empowerment, and storied of strategic success and failure. By showing how these stories are a powerful vehicle for producing, regulating, and diffusing shared meaning, the contributors explore movement stories, their functions, and the conditions under which they are created and performed. They show how narrative study can illuminate social movement emergence, recruitment, internal dynamics, and identity building. "This book treats a topic that reflects issues that are currently on the cutting edge of the field of social movements and moves it forward. It is quite interesting to read, especially since some of the movements have not had much written about them and are generally less contentious than the movements that received center stage." William A. Gamson, author of

http://store.globalexchange.org/doing.html

Extractions: Citizen activism has achieved many positive results. But the road to success for social movements is often complex, usually lasting many years, with few guides for evaluating the precise stage of a movement's evolution to determine the best way forward. One week the news will be alive with stories of thousands of people in the streets; the next week, the thousands are gone. But has the movement withered and died or has it just changed shape? Beginning with an overview of social movement theory and the MAP (Movement Action Plan) model, Doing Democracy outlines the eight typical stages of social movements, the four roles of activists, and case studies from the civil rights, anti-nuclear energy, Central America, gay/lesbian, women's health (breast cancer), and globalization movements. Doing Democracy will appeal to social movement activists and organizations working on all issues, as well as to academics in a variety of disciplines ranging from political science, sociology, and peace studies, through women studies and the various courses in social work schools. Accessibly written, it will also be of interest to all those interested in better understanding the social movements they hear about in the daily media. (227 pages, 2001)

Extractions: CMST224RHETORIC OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Short Cuts to: OBJECTIVES Our class discussions will utilize rhetorical documents from the 1960s in order to provide an understanding of how social movements have function historically. However, I will ask you to work through documents of contemporary social movements (ones that you feel an interest or connection to) in some class discussions and in your essays. The idea is that by focusing on the 1960s, (1) we are able to look at a period with a great deal of social movement discourse to work with; (2) the discourse will be "alien" enough from us that we will be able to look at it with some degree of distance; (3) to the degree that present discourses are an effect of their historical usage, it will provide you with a better sense of how "we" became what we are now and how powerful discourse is. The class is structured into three segments: (1) during the first several weeks of the semester, we will discuss theories of social movements and ways of thinking about their influence and the powerful of social institutions to control them; (2) we will spend the bulk of the semester on social movements discourse from the 1960s and tie those to the present; (3) finally, each of you (in pairs or alone) will present an analysis of a contemporary social movements.
