Studentische Palästina-Solidarität im Spiegel Berliner Leitmedien
Theorising the violence-resistance-nexus in the context of Gaza
Divergent, often implicit, concepts of violence shape judgements about what counts as legitimate resistance or illegitimate harm, and about which actors and grievances become visible. Against this backdrop, academic and public debates seeking to make sense of the violence in Gaza frequently talk past one another: they shift registers between analytical descriptions, moral arguments, and legal assessment without naming their starting assumptions t…
When disruption resonates but fails to mobilize
Studies of radical actions mostly examine flanking effects on broader mobilization as a single outcome, neglecting potential ambivalent effects. This article addresses this gap by examining the conditions and consequences of a specific subset of radical actions, namely individualized disruptive actions that break with societal norms but nevertheless garner a high degree of cultural resonance and sympathy. It centers a series of peculiar bank heis…
A Nested Framework for Understanding Revolutionary Situations
Revolutionary situations are characterized by high contingency as social interactions intensify under radical uncertainty. Transformative events provide structuring moments for these volatile dynamics by shaping the conditions of possibility for social interaction. These events are thus an opportunity to study the contingency of revolutionary situations, including affective solidarities, shifting alliances, tactical adaptations, and the transform…
If Gaza Burns, Berlin Burns’—Transregional Solidarity Between Appeal, Accountability and Belonging
Despite being embedded in longstanding structures of oppression and occupation, the genocide in Gaza is experienced across the globe as a critical juncture that unsettles prior categorizations of violence in Palestine. Those mobilizing in solidarity with Gaza’s besieged population navigate a complex multilevel arena, balancing pragmatic considerations with moral commitments, and outward persuasion with internal expectations of protests as spaces …

Multi-Perspectivity & Ethical Representation in the Context of Gaza & October 7
The language that researchers use to describe the increasingly violent reality in Gaza has become a contested space. Analytical terms like “genocide,” “self-defense,” “terrorism,” and “resistance,” while not inherently normative, have become tests of political loyalty. This reflects a broader struggle over the dominant narrative, particularly evident in Germany, where semantic disputes have hindered scholars ’ ability to contribute meaningful ana…

Aufschlag zur Systematisierung der Protest- und Bewegungsforschung
Moral Shocks, Backlash Protest, and Critical Junctures
Research on transformative events shows that blatant acts of violence are often followed by moral shocks that raise such a sense of public outrage that formerly contention-averse audiences take to the streets. Yet, despite abundant research on moral shocks, backlash, and critical junctures, their interconnection remains unexplored. Studies of transformative events overwhelmingly concentrate on the properties of repression to explain backfire dyna…

Über den demokratischen Gestus von Aktionen des zivilen Ungehorsams im Regime der Unruhe
Vorschläge für eine situierte Forschungsperspektive auf Gewalt(freiheit) im Kontext sozialer Mobilisierung
Welche Rolle spielen Disruption und Gewalt mit Blick auf den Erfolg von sozialer Mobilisierung und wie können sie legitimiert werden? Wo endet ziviler Ungehorsam und beginnt radikaler Protest? Potenzielle wissenschaftliche Antworten auf diese umstrittenen Fragen sind gebunden an ontologische, normative und epistemologische Vorannahmen, ebenso wie Versuche der definitorischen Grenzziehung zum Gewaltbegriff. Dies verdeutlicht der einleitende Beitra…

Mobilisierungsdynamiken, Hegemoniekrisen und neue Protestakteure

Contested Legitimacies
Contested Legitimacies
Since the overthrow of President Mursi in mid-2013, Egypt has witnessed an authoritarian rollback and shrinking spaces for civil society. Nationalist discourses have villified popular protest and channelled pressure for reform into a state-centric model of governance. Despite this hostile environment for social mobilization, protest has persisted. Contested Legitimacies explores this resilience of contentious politics through a multimethod approa…

Egypt is not for sale! Harnessing nationalism for alliance building in Egypt’s Tiran and Sanafir island protests
Adopting a discourse-theoretical perspective on contentious politics in Egypt, this article investigates how in early 2016 the transfer of the archipelago of Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia became a catalyst for oppositional subject formation and the emergence of an unlikely protest coalition. Drawing on a combination of protest event analysis and discourse analysis, it explores how the land swap provided the opposition with an opportunity to c…
Unpacking the effects of repression
The military coup against president Morsi in July 2013 sparked the largest wave of Islamist mobilization in Egypt’s modern history. As the ousted president’s supporters took to the street in what became known as the ‘anti-coup’ movement, they were met with fierce repression. This article retraces the contentious dynamics in the summer of 2013 in a nested research design and with a focus on contentious repertoires. Drawing on data for over 2400 pr…
