Ligne n°5 : ...Classical approaches[edit]
• Ligne n°6 : The classical approaches emerged at the turn of the century. These approaches have in common that they rely on the same causal mechanism. The sources of socialmovements are structural strains. These are structural weaknesses in society that put individuals under a certain subjective psychological pressure, such as unemployment, rapid industrialization or urbanization. When the psychological disturbance reaches a certain threshold, this tension will produce a disposition to participate in unconventional means of political participation, such as protesting.[1] Additionally, these approaches have in common that they view participation in contentious politics as unconventional and irrational, because the protests are the result of an emotional and frustrated reaction to grievances rather than a rational attempt to improve their situation.[2] These psychologically-based theories have largely been rejected by present-day sociologists and political scientists, although many still make a case for the importance (although not centrality) of emotions. See the work of Gustav LeBon, Herbert Blumer, William Kornhauser,[3] and Neil Smelser.[4]


• Ligne n°10 : Gustave Le Bon, an early social scientist who studied socialmovements
Ligne n°11 : Sociologists during the early and middle-1900s thought that movements were random occurrences of individuals who were trying to emotionally react to situations outside their control. An important writer in this area of research was Gustave LeBon. In his book The Crowd, he studied the collective behavior of crowds. What he concluded was that once an individual submerges in a crowd, his behavior becomes primitive and irrational and he is therefore capable of spontaneous violence.[5] This transformation happens under certain conditions. Once individuals submerge themselves in a crowd, they gain a sense of anonymity and this causes them to believe that they cannot be held accountable for their behavior within the crowd. This is combined with a sense of invisibility by being part of a crowd. Under these conditions, critical reasoning is impossible and an unconscious personality emerges: a personality which is dominated by destructive instincts and primitive beliefs.[6] This theory has been picked up and further developed by other theorists like Herbert Blumer and Neil Smelser.[4] ...

Ligne n°19 : ...These problems signify a weakened restraining social network to control the behavior of individuals. According to Durkheim, this will lead to dysfunctional behavior, such as suicide.[8]
• Ligne n°20 : Arthur Kornhauser applied this theory to socialmovements in his book The Politics of Mass Society. He stated that in a mass society, anomie and egoism cause small local groups and networks to decline. What is left after this are powerful elites, massive bureaucracies, and isolated individuals? In this society, intermediate buffers between the elite and the non-elite erode and normal channels for non-elites to influence elites become ineffective. This makes non-elites feel more alienated, and therefore more susceptible to extremism.[9]

Ligne n°26 : ...Contemporary approaches[edit]
• Ligne n°27 : During the 1960s there was a growth in the amount of socialmovement activity in both Europe and the United States. With this increase also came a change in the public perception around socialmovements. Protests were now seen as making politics better and essential for a healthy democracy. The classical approaches were not able to explain this increase in socialmovements. Because the core principle of these approaches was that protests were held by people who were suffering from structural weaknesses in society, it could not explain that the growth in socialmovement was preceded by a growth in welfare rather than a decline in welfare. Therefore, there was a need for new theoretical approaches.[2]

Ligne n°28 : Because deprivation was not a viable explanation anymore, researchers needed to search for another explanation. The explanations that were developed were different in the United States than in Europe. The more American-centered structural approaches examined how characteristics of the social and political context enable or hinder protests.[11] The more European-centered social-constructivist approaches rejected the notion that class-struggle is central to socialmovements, and emphasized other indicators of a collective identity, like gender, ethnicity or sexuality.[12] ...

• Ligne n°41 : Social movements need organizations first and foremost. Organizations can acquire and then deploy resources to achieve their well-defined goals. To predict the likelihood that the preferences of a certain group in society will turn into protest, these theorists look at the pre-existing organization of this group. When the population related to a socialmovement is already highly organized, they are more likely to create organized forms of protest because a higher organization makes it easier to mobilize the necessary resources.[16] Some versions of this theory state that movements operate similar to capitalist enterprises that make efficient use of available resources.[17] Scholars have suggested a typology of five types of resources:


• Ligne n°50 : This body of work focuses on assessing the impact that a socialmovement has on society, and what factors might have led to those impacts. The effects of a socialmovement can resonate on individuals,[19] institutions,[20] cultures,[21] or political systems.[22] While political impacts have been studied the most, effects on other levels can be at least as important. Because Impact Theory has many methodological issues, it is the least studied of the major branches of Social Movement Theory.[23] Nevertheless, it has sparked debates on the efficacy of violence,[24] the importance of elite and political allies,[25] and the agency of popular movements in general.[26]

• Ligne n°58 : In the late 1990s two long books summarized the cultural turn in social-movement studies, Alberto Melucci's Challenging Codes and James M. Jasper's The Art of Moral Protest. Melucci focused on the creation of collective identities as the purpose of socialmovements, especially the "new socialmovements", whereas Jasper argued that movements provide participants with a chance to elaborate and articulate their moral intuitions and principles. Both recognized the importance of emotions in socialmovements, although Jasper developed this idea more systematically. Along with Jeff Goodwin and Francesca Polletta, Jasper organized a conference in New York in 1999 that helped put emotions on the intellectual agenda for many scholars of protest and movements.[28] He has continued to write about the emotional dynamics of protest in the years since.

Ligne n°59 : In 1999, Goodwin and Jasper published a critique of the then-dominant political opportunity paradigm, using Jasper’s cultural approach to show that political opportunity was too structural as a concept, leaving out meanings, emotions, and agency. Charles Tilly and a number of other scholars responded, often vituperatively.[29] ...

• Ligne n°60 : In The Art of Moral Protest Jasper also argued that strategic interaction had an important logic that was independent of both culture and structure, and in 2006 he followed up on this claim with Getting Your Way: Strategic Dilemmas in Real Life, which developed a vocabulary for studying strategic engagement in a cultural, emotional, and agentic way. By then, his theory of action had moved closer to pragmatism and symbolic interactionism. In the same period, Wisconsin social theorist Mustafa Emirbayer had begun writing in a similar fashion about emotions and socialmovements, but more explicitly deriving his ideas from the history of sociological thought. In France, Daniel Cefaï arrived at similar conclusions in Pourquoi se mobilise-t-on?, a sweeping history and synthesis of thought on collective action and socialmovements.[30]

Ligne n°63 : ...Recent years have seen the rise of postcolonial critique, which hails from the larger postcolonial debate within the humanities and social sciences. [31] [32] While it is a diverse field, the epistemic core argument within postcolonial studies is that the discursive dominance of the Western world/global North has continued after the end of the formal colonization of the global South. From this perspective, global knowledge production is still dominated by Western forms of intellectual inquiry, exemplified by an emphasis on supposed objectivity, universalism and scientific rationality, which buttresses a Western-dominated hierarchy of knowledge that fails to acknowledge its own ‘situatedness’.[33] Most contemporary scientific theories, which have their roots in Western Enlightenment and rational inquiry, are therefore inherently Eurocentric.[34] Postcolonialism problematizes the Eurocentricity of contemporary scientific thought and methodology by arguing that it projects misleading theories, based on particular Western facts, on the global South, while also systematically ignoring Southern data for theorizing. As a result, while contemporary theories aim to be universally valid, they have an inherent Western bias because they are based on Western ideas and thought of in Western institutions, which makes them incapable of accurately presenting and explaining events, structures and movements in the South because they misinterpret the South’s particularities.
• Ligne n°64 : From this perspective, socialmovement theory has a Western bias, which has led to a variety of authors claiming that mainstream theories are incapable of accurately explaining socialmovements in the Global South, because they were originally developed to explain movements in the North. Approaches like Resource Mobilization or Political Process Theory therefore have an overt focus on democratic contestation in developed economies and thus fail to take the South’s different historical, political and cultural context into account.

• Ligne n°71 : Certain claims activists make on behalf of their socialmovement "resonate" with audiences including media, elites, sympathetic allies, and potential recruits. Successful frames draw upon shared cultural understandings (e.g. rights, morality). This perspective is firmly rooted in a social constructivist ontology. See the work of Robert Benford and David A. Snow.[48] Over the last decade, political opportunity theorists have partially appropriated the framing perspective. It is called political theory of a socialmovement.
