SOCI 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Microsociology, New Social Movements, Anti-Capitalism
Document Summary
The transformation of social institutions --> social dislocation, con ict, and/or protest. Different forms of social change cause different forms of social change. A long term and global view: waves of protest and unrest. Period of time when there are moments of protests. The "world revolution" of 1848: wave of global protest movements around 1848, but took multiple decades. Mobilization around (male) labor/ worker-based protest in industrializing countries. Nationally-oriented and nationalist movements making demands on the state. Ignored, or worsened, other forms of social inequality, exclusion or exploitation. Diverse, but organized around broader identities: gender, feminism, and sexual identity. How to classify movements that respond to capitalist but are not anti-capitalist. Each of these protests represent against various features of capitalism, this does not suggest that all movements conceptualized their protests in that way: often they did not - robbins and dowty.
