Social Movement Studies: journal of social, cultural and political
protest
First Call for Papers
Social Movement Studies is an international and inter-disciplinary
journal
providing a forum for academic debate and analysis of
extra-parliamentary
political, cultural and social movements throughout the world. The
journal
will be launched in 2002 and we are now actively looking for
contributions.
Social Movement Studies has a broad, inter-disciplinary approach
designed to
accommodate papers engaging with any theoretical school and which study
the
origins, development, organisation, values, context and impact of
historical
and contemporary movements active in all parts of the world. We
understand
our inter-disciplinary approach to include both contributions that
engage
with particular schools of thought relevant to social movements and
popular
protest and contributions that extend across disciplinary boundaries.
Social
Movement Studies aims to publish soundly researched analyses and to
re-establish writing as intervention. From this broad and inclusive
perspective we will be interested in contributions dealing with social
movements, popular protests and networks that support protest. This
includes
contributions dealing with but not restricted to:
* movements of all types including gender, race, sexuality, indigenous
people's rights, disability, ecology, peace, youth, age, religion,
animal
rights and others,
* forms of communication, media and representation engaged with social
change, including the Internet and cybercultures,
* networks of support and broad 'ways of life' engaged with alternative
social systems,
* appraisals of popular reactionary movements or populist movements of
the
'right',
* subcultures and countercultures, including such things as the place of
dance, pleasure or music in resistance,
* identities and the construction of collective identities
* relations between protests and social structures, including situating
movements in local, regional, national, international and global
socio-economic and cultural contexts
* theoretical reflections on the significance of social movements and
protest.
If you work in these or related areas we would be very pleased to hear
from
you with a contribution. If you would like to discuss your potential
