From Hong Kong to Santiago, from Beirut to Algiers, from the Tahrir <br>Square to the Gezi Park, from the indignados in Spain to the yellow vests in <br>France, massive demonstrations have shaken state apparatuses, provoking <br>democratic reforms or passive resistance, prompting the fall of governments or <br>brutal repressions. In parallel, from gay rights to ecofeminism, from <br>humanitarianism to veganism, from #BlackLivesMatter to #MeToo, from No Borders <br>to Extinction Rebellion, numerous initiatives have raised awareness regarding <br>issues related to various expressions of injustice and domination, and have <br>sometimes generated major cultural transformations of contemporary societies. <br>Whereas these progressive mobilizations and movements have received much <br>attention, there has also been a resurgence of reactionary, conservative and <br>antidemocratic responses grounded in traditionalist, fundamentalist, <br>nationalist, xenophobic, racist, sexist and anti-feminist ideologies, which <br>have been less studied and deserve more scrutiny. In light of this remarkable <br>diversity, from the far left to the far right, we would like to revisit two <br>related classical themes of the social sciences: contentious politics and <br>collective action. <br> <br>How are these manifestations of discontent about the current state of affairs <br>to be apprehended? What do they signal about present moral, political and <br>social crises? What do they reveal about people’s capacity to rise up even <br>under authoritarian regimes? Are novel modes of organization being tested? Are <br>new repertoires of action being invented? Which place does violence or, <br>conversely, civil disobedience occupy? Under which conditions can they succeed <br>or, on the contrary, be crushed? What are the role and responsibility of <br>academia with regard to these protests? Which possible articulations can there <br>be between critical theory and such mobilizations and movements? These are <br>some of the questions we would like to address via a conversation across the <br>disciplines of the social sciences and the humanities, in particular <br>anthropology, sociology, history, law, philosophy, economics, political <br>science, and literary studies. All approaches are welcome, but we are <br>especially interested in research seeking to connect empirical investigations, <br>be they archival, ethnographic, statistical, etc., and theoretical analysis, <br>and we will be attentive to the presence of studies from all continents. <br>The theme will be led by Didier Fassin, James D. Wolfensohn Professor at the <br>Institute for Advanced Study, and Wendy Brown, Class of 1936 First Chair at <br>the University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with Alondra Nelson, <br>Harold F. Linder Professor at the Institute. <br> <br>[ <br>http://us13.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&id=00ae <br>42d863&e=3563433e11 ] [ <br>http://us13.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&id=00ae <br>42d863&e=3563433e11 | Forward this email to a friend. ] Copyright © 2020 <br>Institute for Advanced Study, All rights reserved. <br>You are receiving this email because of your affiliation with IAS. <br> <br>Our mailing address is: <br>Institute for Advanced Study <br>1 Einstein Dr <br>Princeton , NJ 08540-4952 <br> <br>[ <br>https://ias.us13.list-manage.com/vcard?u=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&id=26e5df7 <br>877 | Add us to your address book ] <br> <br> <br>Want to change how you receive these emails? <br>You can [ <br>https://ias.us13.list-manage.com/profile?u=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&id=26e5d <br>f7877&e=3563433e11 | update your preferences ] or [ <br>https://ias.us13.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&id=2 <br>6e5df7877&e=3563433e11&c=00ae42d863 | unsubscribe from this list ] . <br> <br>[ <br>http://www.mailchimp.com/email-referral/?utm_source=freemium_newsletter&utm_m <br>edium=email&utm_campaign=referral_marketing&aid=fb0e62a61622f2e67d7e578a1&afl <br>=1 ] <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
