Microfoundations of the Arab Uprisings
This book brings together a roster of prominent contributors to present a strategic interactionist perspective on the study of contentious politics in the Middle East in response to the Arab uprisings. The common thread among the contributions is an interest in the micro-level interactions between various strategic players, including not only the mobilisation of protestors during the uprisings but also the responses of regimes. The book also exam…
Protestors and Their Targets
Bodies in Protest
Research on social movements has historically focused on the traditional weapons of the working class, especially labor strikes and street demonstrations-but everyday actions, such as eating or singing, which can also be turned into a means of protest, have yet to be fully explored. Originally published as La gr ève de la faim by Johanna Siméant and La musique en colère by Christophe Traïni, Bodies in Protest is an interdisciplinary and comparati…

An interdisciplinary and comparative history of these modes of action, Bodies in Protest reveals how hunger strikes and music ranging from gospel songs to rock anthe…
Breaking Down the State
Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirica…
A Strategic Approach to Collective Action
In theories of social movements, the structural models of the last thirty years may have reached the limits of their utility. Future breakthroughs are likely to arise from attention to the microfoundations of political action. The study of strategic choices may be one fruitful new path of research, especially if sociologists can develop an approach to strategy that takes cultural and institutional contexts more seriously than game theory, which h…
L’art de la protestation collective
Cette contribution recense une série de thèmes négligés par le « paradigme structural-organisationnel » mais devenus centraux à la suite du tournant culturel en sociologie de l’action collective. Les contestataires sont engagés dans un flux de création de représentations cognitives et de formes organisationnelles, comme de sensibilités, de sentiments, d’intuitions morales et de prises de décision. La théorie de la mobilisation des ressources a éc…
Les formes de l’action collective
L'analyse de l'action collective a été dominée, ces dernières décennies, par des modèles conçus en fonction d'un terme central : la mobilisation de ressources. Certes, la sociologie des « nouveaux mouvements sociaux » a proposé d'autres explications. Mais elle a montré ses limites pour rendre compte de plusieurs dimensions importantes de l'action collective : travail de la signification, constitution de causes publiques, diagnostic de situations,…
The Return of The Repressed
In recent years sociologists have made great strides in studying the emotions that pervade social life. The study of social movements has lagged behind, even though there are few arenas where emotions are more obvious or important. We hope to understand this lag as well as make some suggestions for catching up. To do this we examine the history of scholarship on social movements, finding that emotions were poorly specified in the early years, ign…
