Brazilian society has frequently been described as polarized during the country’s recent political and economic crisis. In 2018, a wave of opposition to the centre-left Workers’ Party culminated in the election of Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist who portrays the political left as a malevolent force in Brazilian society. In this paper I explore this ...

The article substantiates the phenomenon of media piarisation. The emphasis is on television and the Internet as multifunctional platforms for implementing PR technologies. There are two directions of media piarisation: political and ideological. It is emphasized, that two of these vectors do not exclude, but rather complement each other, having a number of common points ...

Rio Tinto had been developing a diamond mining project in Madhya
Pradesh for a decade when in 2017 it hastily abandoned the project.
We analyse this counterintuitive exit through an ethnographic approach
nested within a qualitative case study framework. We argue that the
exit was caused by multi-scalar politics. Local protests over livelihood
and labour issues –pre-emptively rearticulated by regional ...

Through this research, we seek to contribute to a broader theory of effective communicative structures of social movements. We use the data of roughly 12,000 individuals from 17 online groups representing ...

This article offers a comparative study of animal rights and animal welfare activism in Poland and Russia. It investigates how an East European democratic state, on the one hand, and a post-Soviet semiauthoritarian state, on the other hand, steer civic activism and how different state–society relationships affect the forms that activism takes. The analysis aims ...

We discuss the theoretical and applied aspects of coexistence, interaction and confrontation between "modern" and "traditional" forms of social cohesion. We demonstrate the adaptive potential of different types of cohesion in the context of socio-cultural transformations. Drawing on empirical material we analyse the mechanisms and factors of integration and fragmentation at different levels of the ...

Miscommunicating Social Change analyzes the discourses of three social movements and the alternative media associated with them, revealing that the Enlightenment narrative, though widely critiqued in academia, remains the dominant way of conceptualizing social change in the name of democratization in the post-Soviet terrain. The main argument of this book is that the “progressive” imaginary, which ...

В статье народная культура рассматривается как многозначный феномен, который становится полем властных отношений. Обсуждаются различные социокультурные и политические контексты, где происходит возрождение народной культуры, которая может использоваться в целях интеграции, а может выступать контраргументом социальной и политической идентификации. Анализируются специфические для каждого из контекстов ценностно-символические и структурные характеристики. С применением идей социологии профессий и интервью ...

Players and Arenas aims at promoting the strategic interaction perspective (SIP)—a theoretical effort to bridge the gap between the structural paradigm and cultural theories in political sociology and social movements studies. Structural approaches seek to establish causal links between relatively stable factors (features of the political and economic environment) and a movement’s emergence and success. ...

In the late 2000s, a number of analysts were optimistic about Brazil’s future. Their expectant analyses did not bear out, however, as a political and economic crisis developed just as Brazil was gearing up to host two mega-events, the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016. This paper has two aims. The ...

Although criticism of Enlightenment ideas has become widespread within academic circles, the basic Enlightenment narrative – an inexorable movement to a progressive condition – remains a dominant assumption within the discourses of modernization and democratization. This article analyzes how the ‘progressive’ imagination of Euromaidan protesters in Ukraine discursively produced the internal ‘other’ as a singular ...

Scholarship on social movements has yet to systematically analyze the topic of attributional
similarities and differences among participants as a dynamic process. This study evaluates existent
social movement literature on this subject and builds upon it using theories within the field of
social networks and segregation. The study at hand synthesizes theories of bridging and
homophily with undercurrents from ...

Struggles against eviction are key moments in the (re)production of informal housing in Brazilian cities, as they contest the uprooting and displacement of generally low-income families. While recent research has focused on displacement due to the World Cup and Olympic Games mega-events, this paper explores struggles against eviction that are less high profile, underscoring the ...

Interrelation of the Internet and social movements is one of the core problems for both research domains. This theme is growing more and more demanded and rapidly developing. However the research field is quite heterogeneous and its theoretical and methodological groundings might be not evident. The scholars use a diverse terminological range that hampers the ...

Current predictive models of collective action have devoted little attention to personal values, such as morals or ideology. The present research addresses this issue by incorporating a new axiological path in a novel predictive model of collective action, named AICAM. The axiological path is formed by two constructs: ideology and moral obligation. The model has ...

Brazil's Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto (MTST, Homeless Workers' Movement) has grown dramatically in recent years. This growth was partly provided for by the use of a large government housing programme, Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV, My House My Life), which allowed the MTST to construct housing for its members and swell its ranks with ...
