The role of repeated narration in identity development
Sweden 1950–2015
In this chapter we provide a historical overview of the major trends in contentious politics in Sweden from 1950 to 2015. Considering that protest during this period (especially from the 1960s onwards) rapidly proliferated, involving a number of forms and acting on a multiplicity of social conflicts, we provide a thematic account, focusing on the major conflicts and the social movements that defined the space of contentious politics during the pe…

Conscience Adherents” Revisited
Foundation stones in the resource mobilization theory of social movements are the notions of “conscience adherents” and “conscience constituents,” first introduced by McCarthy and Zald in 1977. In this article, we revisit the concept of conscience adherent, by applying it to individuals and groups that are direct supporters of an LGBT movement, but who do not stand to directly benefit from the success should the movement accomplish its goals. Usi…
Humanitarian Border Workers in Confrontation with the Swedish State’s Border Making Practices
We most often talk about state bordering practices: those activities engaged in by states that constitute, sustain or modify borders between states. While the role of states is central in the study of migration processes this, however, underestimates the roles that non-state actors play in borderwork. State bordering practices are to a large degree performed in interaction with other types of non-state actors, processes and organizations. In focu…
Normalized’ Pride? Pride parade participants in six European countries
Based on quantitative survey data collected during Pride parades in six European countries – the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland – we analyse who participates in Pride parades. Engaging with the so-called protest normalization thesis we ask: are Pride parade participants, aside from sexual orientation, representative of the wider populace? In none of the countries could we find indications that Pride…

The Consequences of Social Movements
Social movements have attracted much attention in recent years, both from scholars and among the wider public. This book examines the consequences of social movements, covering such issues as the impact of social movements on the life course of participants and the population in general, on political elites and markets, and on political parties and processes of social movement institutionalization. The volume makes a significant contribution to r…
European Anti-Austerity Protests - Beyond 'old' and 'new' social movements
This article explores the social composition of participants in anti-austerity protests taking place in Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK between 2010 and 2012, based on over 3000 questionnaires distributed to protest participants according to a standardized method. Employing a distinction between three types of mobilizations, we compare protests anchored in the traditional 'old' labour movements, protests by smaller radical leftist unions and par…
Der Holocaust – Eine unwiderrufliche Herausforderung für Sozialtheorie und Praxis
Der Holocaust ist schon längst keine vernachlässigte Episode in unserer geschichtlichen Vergangenheit mehr. Vielmehr ist er nach 55 oder noch mehr Jahren immer offenkundiger zu einem Ereignis geworden, dass Soziologen, Historiker, Theologen bis hin zu Politikern und der allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit in einem beispiellosen Maß beschäftigt. Wir gedenken der Grausamkeiten des Holocaust, aber was bedeutet diese dauerhafte Auseinandersetzung? Im Januar 2…
Introduction to the Special Issue “Policing Ethnicity
On the one hand European countries talk the humanitarian and cosmopolitan politics of inclusion of ethnic minorities with a battery of integration policies, on the other hand these same societies practice the policies and practices of exclusion. In this special issue we address this disjuncture and what we refer to as the European moral dilemma, in much the same way that Gunnar Myrdahl, in his influential study from 1944— The American Dilemma— po…

May Day Demonstrations in Five European Countries
In this article, we argue that there is an element of rituality in all political demonstrations. This rituality can be either primarily oriented toward the past and designed to consolidate the configuration of political power—hence official—or oriented towards the future and focused on challenging existing power structures—hence oppositional. We apply this conceptual framework in a comparison of May Day demonstrations in Belgium, Switzerland, Spa…
Wounds That Never Heal
The West German student movements, the student generation of Anselm Kiefer, were a part of the West German awakening as to their collective guilt for the atrocities committed in the Second World War - the Germans-as-perpetrators debate. They entered this debate with a proclamation of innocence, which Anselm Kiefer did not share. In this article I use the empirical lens of biography and the artistic performances of moral self-incrimination in orde…
The ‘Long Winding Road’ to Adulthood
This article follows up the life stories of 15 young people from a previous study, all who grew up in a neighbourhood we called Clover Valley. Researchers have emphasized the risks encountered by young people growing up in depressed neighbourhoods such as Clover Valley. Most of the young people in our study have managed to more or less successfully negotiate different paths towards adulthood and for others (particularly among the boys) the paths …
Stater möter aktivister - om den polisära hanteringen av politiska protester vid EU-toppmötena i Göteborg och Köpenhamn
As the representatives of political authority the police are often the targets for protesters’ interventions and their very presence can in turn ‘trigger’ political disorder. In this article I analyze two radically different approaches to the policing of protest: protest policing in conjunction with the EU Summit meetings in Göteborg 2001 and Copenhagen 2002. In what ways are spaces for democratic protest protected, alternatively threatened, by p…
Between the State and the Market
This article brings together two research traditions: social movement theory and theories of corporate social responsibility. The study is an attempt to widen the perspective on the relationship between a business/business sector and its external stakeholders in order to include social movements. We depart from a three-part model of political opportunity structures, including state, cultural and economic opportunity structures. In order to illust…

The Gender-Sex Dimension in Swedish Politics
A material analysis of Swedish politics based upon a three-dimensional model of political cleavages is proposed. It is argued that different positions in the societal division of labor generate different (and often opposing) political interests. The model includes the left-right dimension, the urban-rural dimension and the gender-sex dimension representing the opposition expressed in the political arena between men and the interests of production…

The Revolutionary Potential of the 'Private
The debate over the political role of the nuclear family has recently expanded ' to include a position that regards the family as a revolutionary force in that the family is regarded as the counterweight to the welfare state This position is criticized and found inadequate. Instead it is submitted that in locating the revolutionary potential of everyday life, a political theory that focuses upon the new social movements provides a more feasible a…

Makt och auktoritet i feministisk teori och praktik
Den uppfattning av makt som dominerat på ett samhällsteoretiskt plan överensstämmer inte med feminismens praktik, menar Ab by Peterson. Först genom att utveckla ett nytt maktbegrepp kan vi se den verkliga radikalitet som ryms i den moderna kvinnorörelsens handlingsmönster. Samtidigt föder detta kritiska frågor till olika delar av dess ideologi

Fotografen måste väcka lusten till större kunskap
Tuija Lindström anser att fotografin måste få näring utifrån. Den måste vara utåtriktad och undersökande så att den kan öka medvetenheten hos både fotografen och betraktaren. Fotografen "forskar" i sig själv och därmed också i sin omgivning genom att välja ett ämne utifrån sina egna förutsättningar och vända ut och in på alla invanda föreställningar
