61. Alternatives : Social Movements In India

Westerners find spirituality through Capeoira POLITICAL DIVERSITY, COMMON PURPOSE At the risk of sounding repetitive, one needs to reassert that the methodological problem of identifying and defining a social movement is fairly difficult. The problem becomes particularly complex when we focus on the Asian region. Given its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-political reality, the bewildering multiplicity and diversity of social movements in the region should not come as a great surprise. After all, social movements necessarily must, and firmly are embedded in the social, cultural and political realities of a nation. Where as a description of the movements is a matter of information collection and a systematic presentation of such information, an analysis of the embedded ness and linkages of the movements with wider socio-political processes is a very difficult and long-term task, particularly for the Asian region. Apart from being complex, the region is also so vast that to capture its variety in a single article is quite impossible. Accordingly this paper shall try to convey an essence of such complexities by focussing on social movements in India, assuming of course that much of the general aspects of the analysis are extendable to other areas of the Asian region too.

    Extractions: CMST224RHETORIC OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Short Cuts to: OBJECTIVES Our class discussions will utilize rhetorical documents from the 1960s in order to provide an understanding of how social movements have function historically. However, I will ask you to work through documents of contemporary social movements (ones that you feel an interest or connection to) in some class discussions and in your essays. The idea is that by focusing on the 1960s, (1) we are able to look at a period with a great deal of social movement discourse to work with; (2) the discourse will be "alien" enough from us that we will be able to look at it with some degree of distance; (3) to the degree that present discourses are an effect of their historical usage, it will provide you with a better sense of how "we" became what we are now and how powerful discourse is. The class is structured into three segments: (1) during the first several weeks of the semester, we will discuss theories of social movements and ways of thinking about their influence and the powerful of social institutions to control them; (2) we will spend the bulk of the semester on social movements discourse from the 1960s and tie those to the present; (3) finally, each of you (in pairs or alone) will present an analysis of a contemporary social movements.

    Click to enlarge The MAP Model for Organizing social movements by Bill Moyer with JoAnn McAllister, Mary Lou Finley and Steven Soifer contributions by Nancy  
    http://store.globalexchange.org/doing.html
    
    Extractions: Citizen activism has achieved many positive results. But the road to success for social movements is often complex, usually lasting many years, with few guides for evaluating the precise stage of a movement's evolution to determine the best way forward. One week the news will be alive with stories of thousands of people in the streets; the next week, the thousands are gone. But has the movement withered and died – or has it just changed shape? Beginning with an overview of social movement theory and the MAP (Movement Action Plan) model, Doing Democracy outlines the eight typical stages of social movements, the four roles of activists, and case studies from the civil rights, anti-nuclear energy, Central America, gay/lesbian, women's health (breast cancer), and globalization movements. Doing Democracy will appeal to social movement activists and organizations working on all issues, as well as to academics in a variety of disciplines ranging from political science, sociology, and peace studies, through women studies and the various courses in social work schools. Accessibly written, it will also be of interest to all those interested in better understanding the social movements they hear about in the daily media. (227 pages, 2001)

    Extractions: Latin America is undergoing a new phase of social reactivation whose agenda includes global issues and social actors who seek to break out of the isolation of their specific struggles. Under this tonic, networks and coordinating bodies have proliferated (among peasants, indigenous people, women, African descendents, popular urban communities, among others), that are appropriating the Internet to intercommunicate, coordinate and disseminate their actions and proposals. This involves endeavours to deepen their understanding of the logic behind it, so as to reap fuller benefits. The first part of this book explores the debate regarding the Internet, seeking to locate more precisely what is at stake in this environment, as a prerequisite to thinking of strategies. The second part presents a survey of how the organizations involved in the Web Community of Social Movements are incorporating the Internet into their practice, looking at utilization and benefits, motivations and perceptions, social-organizational and communicational implications.

    Extractions: Today almost everyone is feeling the problem of stress. Every social class demands sufficient value for its services and labour so that the basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing are fulfilled. Added to this are the basic rights like education for their wards, amenities like water and sanitation, and some 'luxuries' like means of communication and entertainment. To cope up with such increasing demands, society devices many means like modernization and diversification of industries. Call of 'Free Market Economy and Globalization' fill the air. However, all this only adds to competition and rat race. Moreover, although such innovation in technology may help solve social problems to some extent, they are not of much value at tackling stress at individual level.

76. Bad Subjects: Emergent Publics: An Essay On Social Movements And Democracy
    BAD REVIEWS *, Emergent Publics An Essay on social movements and Democracy. Ian Angus. Scott Schaffer Monday, September 22 2003, 1100 PM.  
    http://eserver.org/bs/reviews/2003-9-22-11.00PM.html
    
    Extractions: Emergent Publics: An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy Scott Schaffer It’s a rare thing when a significant social theorist steps out of the jargon-filled clouds and writes a book that is intended to be accessible to just about anyone. It’s even more rare that a book like that is genuinely successful. Yet Ian Angus has written precisely that book in his recent (2001) book, Emergent Publics: An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy A remarkably breezy and efficient book – the main text comes in at 86 pages, with another 15 pages of “further reading” suggestions with commentary – Emergent Publics takes on the notion that is often played out in American politics, namely the notion that all citizens are entitled to do in a democratic society is vote for candidates for office. Starting with the notion that a radical and direct democracy is a beneficial thing, and that the kinds of social movements at work in the early 21st century are gearing us up for that, Angus has constructed a text that easily and clearly lays out the relationship between social movements and democracy. Angus opens the book simply, and humbly, enough; he wants readers to find enough in his work to “argue with me and to form their own conclusions.” And there is enough in this book to give readers just that. Angus provides a very simple and orderly examination of the nature of democracy, the place of social movements within that, and what he thinks the goals of those movements really have in common, namely the development of a participatory democracy, one in which the content of the participation matters more than the institutional arrangements of the process.

    Extractions: The sixth meeting in the series "Socialism and Sexuality" will be held on October 8-9, 2004, hosted by the Department of Philosophy, Sofia University, Bulgaria. It will focus on the sexual ideologies and programs of the new social movements in Western Europe, the United States, and after 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe. Cultural changes in the 1970s and 1980s have led to a proliferation of new social movements in Europe and the United States concerning ecology, peace, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity. Although they are called "new social movements" some of them have existed since the late 19th century. Extension of participatory democracy has been one of the most notable features of these new social movements. Most of them have been closely allied with socialist parties, and share some of the goals of the traditional and the new left ideologies (with the exception of the right wing ecology movement). Sexuality and sexual reform occupied a significant place in the new social movements of the West. The demise of communism in 1989 triggered a new wave of social movements in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet States. Unlike their predecessors in the West, the pro-democracy movements of CEE countries are essentially conservative and anti-socialist. One important cluster of the new social movements in Central and Eastern Europe that is clearly missing is the movement for sexual reform. Despite promising legal changes and expansion of the freedoms for the individuals in all countries of the region, sexual relationships are considered only in the case of couple: adult, monogamous and heterosexual. Sexual reform, gay and lesbian and the transgender movements have usually been excluded from the public discourse on social tolerance and development of social capital.
