29. From Social Movements To Counter Cultures From social movements to counter cultures. Abstract. From social movementsto counter cultures steps beyond political reductionism. http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/toolsforchange/afpp/afpp2.html

From social movements to counter cultures Abstract This paper argues that the literature on contemporary social movements is essentially circular, representing a political reductionism within which the analysis of these movements in terms of (individual, collective, societal) instrumental rationality appears both as a premise and as a conclusion. This in effect treats the theorist's own local form of rationality as universal, rather than taking the question of the modes of rationality operating in these contexts as an open question for research. By restricting the analytic and explanatory value of the social movement concept to the narrow field identified as relevant by this methodology, its common use for more wide-ranging analyses of the nature of contemporary social change is fatally undermined. This tension is strongest in authors representing an "identity paradigm" such as Alberto Melucci, whose work points towards the need to replace social movement activity within the sociocultural contexts from which it proceeds, but who are unable to theorise these contexts in their own terms, analysing them only from the point of view of their immediate contribution to political activity. Even this "culturalist" approach to contemporary movements, then, remains blocked by an ultimate prioritisation of instrumental political action, and thus considerably less flexible than early cultural studies approaches to class movements. This paper argues that social movement activity as currently conceived is only one element of broader life-world contexts which need to be theorised on their own terms before contemporary movements can be fully understood, and that the modes of rationality operative in these contexts have to be seen as an open question for research, rather than assumed or imputed. Working with a concept of "counter cultures" as historically developed complexes of alternative practices and meanings, this paper suggests that both the role of skills and intellectual activity and the characteristic modes of organisation of contemporary social movements need to be seen in this context. Material from a series of Dublin interviews is used to illustrate the possibility that autonomy may be a key element of this life-world rationality. The conclusion discusses the political implications of this suggestion.

31. Computer-linked Social Movements http://www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/polnet.html

Computer-linked Social Movements and the Global Threat to Capitalism Recent writings on the spread of widespread, computer communications have found them playing new roles in all kinds of social conflict: in the activities of terrorists, drug cartels, illegal arms merchants, nation-states, advocacy groups and social movements. The content of these roles differ from hacker break-ins and extortion demands, to the circulation of information on the Internet but they all involve the use of modern computer technologies as weapons of criminal acts or political struggle. Clarifying the importance of communications in such conflict areas depends on the examination of case studies. Case studies, in turn require us to narrow our focus and select a specific area of conflict for closer scrutiny. How to choose? In general this question is being answered by individuals according to their own interests and by funding agencies according to their priority of worries. Everyone, I assume, wonders "in which area of conflict are the effects of these new behaviors and organizational forms likely to be the most profound?" Of all the areas mentioned above, I argue that the area developing in ways most likely to produce profound effects is that of broad-based social movements. The reasons for this view are simple.

Today almost everyone is feeling the problem of stress. Every social class demands sufficient value for its services and labour so that the basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing are fulfilled. Added to this are the basic rights like education for their wards, amenities like water and sanitation, and some 'luxuries' like means of communication and entertainment. To cope up with such increasing demands, society devices many means like modernization and diversification of industries. Call of 'Free Market Economy and Globalization' fill the air. However, all this only adds to competition and rat race. Moreover, although such innovation in technology may help solve social problems to some extent, they are not of much value at tackling stress at individual level.

Return to the SPCH 461 Home Page America in the 1960s The most active period of social movement rhetoric in the 20th century was the 1960s. This period roughly begins with a build-up from the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Supreme Court Decision of 1954. This desegregation decision began the Civil Rights movement. By 1960, multiple movements are gathering steam in the United States. After 1970 and the Kent State killings, social movements began to decline and by the fall of Saigon that ended the Vietnam War in 1975 the most active period was over. Of course, movements continue to our day just as there have always been some active reform movements in America. But the most active period was over. Conditions Given Voice in 60s Movements The rhetoric of the 60s movements had several conditions of the society that it attempted to convert into power for the movement.

MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of Terms So Social Chauvinism Aggressive or fanatical patriotism, particularly during time of war, in support of one's own nation (eg. government, culture, etc) versus other nation(s). During WWI, nearly every political party took a social-chauvinist stand; with few exceptions. Most Socialists gave up their beliefs in favour of "defense of the fatherland", and turned to social-chauvinism; most notably the German Social Democratic Party Two outstanding examples of Communists who fought against social-chauvinism during WWI were Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht . They stressed that the only violence that should be used is the violence necessary to overthrow one's own government. They agitated tirelessly in their nation to show that common social relations united workers across any national boundaries and that the only blood the proletariat should shed is the blood to gain their freedom. Social Democracy The term "Social-Democracy" has been used by Marxists since the time of the First International of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. The term is both an organizational appellation, meaning it describes a particular political affiliation within a political culture and an adjective describing a "kind" of politics within the broader

Individual orders Bookstore orders University of Minnesota Press ... home page Series editor: Bert Klandermans Associate editors: Ron R. Aminzade, David S. Meyer, and Verta Taylor The world has changed dramatically since 1989. In Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, an empire has crumbled, and social movements both new and old have emerged. In China and other parts of Asia and the so-called Third World, democracy movements threaten established regimes. In the United States and Western Europe, a wave of more violent racial and ethnic movements has appeared. Meanwhile the "new" social movements of the 1970s and 1980s (the women's movement, the peace movement, the environmental movement, and the gay and lesbian movement) have declined or entered new stages in their existence. Social Movements, Protest, and Contention Series reflects both these changes and continuities as well as recent trends toward the interdisciplinary study of such movements. Intending to draw on the work of historians, sociologists, political scientists, and political psychologists, the books in the series represent research of the highest quality that incorporates comparative, longitudinal, and historical approaches.

How Social Movements Matter Marco Giugni, Doug McAdam, and Charles Tilly, editors Foreword by Sidney Tarrow We have all witnessed social movements and felt their effectssome subtle, others profound. But to truly understand their impact over time, in different countries, and on various segments of society requires the kind of rare insight this book provides. Bringing together several well-known scholars, this volume offers an assessment of the consequences of social movements in Western countries. Policy, institutional, cultural, short- and long-term, and intended and unintended outcomes are among the types of consequences the authors consider in depth. They also compare political outcomes of several contemporary movementsspecifically, women's, peace, ecology, and extreme-rights movementsin different countries.
