Researching Conservative Youth Politics: A Reflexive Approach to Methodological and Ethical Challenges
This article advances theoretical, methodological, and ethical debates in social movement research by proposing a reflexive framework for studying conservative youth politics. It centers on the methodological and ethical challenges of capturing nonprogressive youth communities within predominantly progressive academic environments. Using data from the European Social Survey as an illustrative case shows how conventional representations risk bias …
Mirroring persistent rival discourses in Spain. What do large-scale mobilizations tell us about the country’s main political cleavage
Y qué acontece del otro lado? Una aproximación a las organizaciones juveniles cívico-constitucionalistas en España
En este artículo nos aproximamos al modo en que diversas asociaciones estudiantiles surgidas en los últimos años en España vienen activando la participación sociopolítica de personas jóvenes en la esfera del constitucionalismo cívico. Sirviéndonos de entrevistas cualitativas y de la observación participante, damos cuenta de la pluralidad e implantación territorial de estas asociaciones. Nos aproximamos al ideario que las caracteriza, así como al …
En defensa de la democracia liberal. La superposición del binomio "acción-reacción" y la politización de la vida social como amenazas a la democracia
El presente artículo aborda la amenaza que para la democracia liberal representa la actual dinámica de acción-reacción [frontlash-backlash] en un contexto de fuerte politización de la vida social y desbordamiento de la política institucional. La dialéctica acción-reacción es consustancial al proceso democrático, pero el protagonismo que han cobrado en este nuevo milenio los conflictos en torno a la identidad colectiva, las formas expresivas binar…
Democracia, dignidad y movimientos sociales
La presente obra aborda una tesis o proposición de partida que se enmarca en el acontecer de la sociedad civil en España desde la transición a la democracia y, en particular, en el de los movimientos sociales y algunas redes de colectivos y organizaciones con un alto poder de persuasión colectiva que han jugado un papel clave en el surgimiento y expansión de la cultura cívica entre los ciudadanos en las últimas décadas. Lo hace desde una perspect…
More than a Copy Paste: The Spread of Spanish Frames and Events to Portugal
The article contributes to the literature on diffusion by focusing on two recent cases of social movements in Spain and in Portugal, identifying different stages of cooperation and diffusion. Our specific contribution to the diffusion literature is the temporal perspective: Processes were observed over several years. This allows for an in-depth analysis of factors of success and failures of diffusion and how activists deal with such processes ove…
The “ Indignados ” in Space and Time: Transnational Networks and Historical Roots
Social movements themselves may be considered carriers of ideas, symbols and frames, which inspire and have inspired—consciously or not—other movements and protests in different cultures and geographical contexts, both in the present and over time. In order to illustrate this, the current article examines: (1) the transnationalisation of the Spanish 15M, focusing on the role played by transnational networks of “indignados” (or “occupiers”) in the…
El movimiento 15-M en los medios y en las redes. Un análisis de sus estrategias comunicativas
This paper focuses on the analysis of the uses of the Internet by activists of the 15-M movement. We pay attention to two processes: the use of the Internet I) as a vehicle of communication with their potential audiences and II) as a technology that allows to circulate an alternative framework. Therefore we analyzed also the role played by the newspapers during the regional and municipal elections of 2011 when the movement burst onto the Spanish …
La cultura skate en las sociedades contemporáneas: Una aproximación etnográfica a la ciudad de Madrid
This paper offers an approach to the study of skateboarding in the city of Madrid through a multi-sited ethnographic study which combines online and offline research. Based on this methodology, we show an analysis of some of the main characteristics of the skate culture in our society, particularly in the city of Madrid, putting the emphasis on the most intersubjective and cultural aspects of this reality. In recent years skateboarding has experi…
Does the Spanish 15M have an ideology? Issues of method and measurement
The broad aim of this paper is to look into the implications of applying two different methods of research and analytical assumptions to the study of social movements. In order to develop and discuss this aim, I focus my analysis on the emergence of a social movement that impacted Spanish society in 2011: the ‘indignados’ movement 15M. Particularly, in this case, I confront the main conclusions of two different methodological approaches that anal…
