  • The Contemporary Epoch of Struggle

    Peter Funke, Peter N Funke et al.ARTICLENew Political Science2024

    This article contextualizes Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement that emerged in the fall of 2014. We argue that first, the Umbrella Movement was not merely about democracy but must be understood in the context of widening inequality and an ongoing housing and wage crisis; second, that it is part of a broader epoch of contention informed by, third, a distinct “rhizomatic movement logic” that is defined by a diversity of actors and struggles, use of soci…

    Surveying the varied contributions to this special issue, this article examines the relationships, points of inspirations and contradictory dynamics that characterize the current epoch of social movement politics and global protest. The authors argue that with the progression of neoliberal capitalism and the explosion of new technologies, a shared logic of social movement politics has emerged. This logic spans from the Zapatistas and the Global J…

  • Rewiring the Apparatus

    Open AccessChris Robé, Todd Wolfson et al.ARTICLERethinking Marxism2016Cited by: 1References: 3

    This essay utilizes concepts from screen theory to better understand the function of socially engaged documentaries. In particular, it explores how the media practices of the Media Mobilizing Project (MMP) allow us to refocus our analysis to take account of the utilization of media by social movements in ways that stress the collective and empowering role it can have for fostering class-based identities. As such, we aim to highlight the materiali…

  • Translating Dissent

    Todd Wolfson, Peter N Funke et al.BOOKTranslating Dissent2015

    Graffiti, a tool for change Bahia Shehab for translating emotions during the Egyptian revolution, art sublimated violence and translated emotions. Music, theatre, video art, graffiti and cartoons are few examples of media of protest that overtook the streets and cyberspace. Strong emotions brought about intense creativity, and in the process graffti artists and laymen alike provide people with exceptional examples of how to express dissidence and…

  • Communication, class and concentric media practices

    Open AccessTodd Wolfson, Peter Funke et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2013Cited by: 2References: 12

    Understanding class as a process of self-making in relation to a particular, historical form of capitalism, in this article we argue that media and communication (from face-to-face and old mediums such as radio to internet-powered tools) must be conceptualized as an emerging structural dimension for class formation. Based on ethnographic fieldwork on the Media Mobilizing Project in Philadelphia, a community-based media and communications infrastr…

  • The Rhizomatic Left, neoliberal capitalism and class

    Peter Funke, Peter N FunkeARTICLEInternational Critical Thought2012References: 11

    This article begins to theoretically explore today's left social movement formations in relation to shifts in capital and class relations. The article links the emergence of a novel matrix of social movement politics, which it calls the Rhizomatic Left, to the structural shifts from Fordism to neoliberal capitalism. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, the image of the rhizome is insightful for outlining the nature and workings of contemporary social…

  • The World Social Forum

    Peter Funke, Peter N FunkeARTICLENew Political Science2008Cited by: 5

    This article examines the World Social Forum and the global social forum process it has spurred by encouraging the creation of autonomous social forums on various levels, from the local to the global. The article argues that social forums, these “open spaces” for groups, movements, and networks opposed to neoliberalism, start to function as “resistance relays.” On the basis of their common opposition to capitalism, social forums provide a catalyt…
