>Recent years have seen an upsurge of scholarly interest in the activities
>and significance of the activist groups and resistance movements which have
>come to be associated with 'anti-globalisation' politics. Whilst analyses
>of the diverse assemblages, solidarity movements and activist networks
>involved in resisting neoliberal globalisation and promoting alternatives
>are an important addition to literatures on globalisation and global
>politics, there has been a tendency in some of this work to romanticise the
>activities and transformative capacities of these groups and networks.
>What is often missing from the analysis is consideration of the formal and
>informal forms of discipline that operate towards, within and through
>resistance movements - be it through coercive repression, through
>interventions to co-opt social movements, or through the production of
>particular resisting subjects.
>
>We are organising an interdisciplinary workshop at the University of
>Bristol on 18-19 September 2009 that will explore the different forms of
>discipline and power that operate towards, within and through contemporary
>resistance movements. The workshop builds on a panel session at the
>British International Studies Association Annual Conference in Exeter in
>December 2008 and a collaborative workshop held at the International
>Studies Association Annual Convention in New York in February 2009 that
>explored these themes. It will bring together scholars from diverse
>disciplinary backgrounds who share an interest in the ways in which
>contemporary forms of political dissent, such as those represented by
>'anti'- or 'alter-globalisation movement(s)', are both disciplined and
>disciplining.
>
>Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a special issue of
>the journal Globalizations, which will be dedicated to the theme of
>Disciplining Dissent.
>
>The workshop fee is £30 (with a discounted rate of £20 for research
>students/low incomes) and includes lunch and refreshments on both days.
>
>For more details, and to download a registration form, please go to
