Description

Alberto Melucci famously defined movements in complex societies as “disenchanted prophets”: “Like the prophets, the movements 'speak before': “they announce what is taking shape even before its direction and content has become clear. [...] They announce the commencement of change; not, however, a change in the distant future but one that is already a presence”. The conference will provide a space to discuss how crises are politicized and which phenomena, at the margins of contemporary societies, anticipate what is coming next for collective action. To do so, it bridges social movements and political participation research to a wider range of related research areas such as, inter alia, the geographical dimension of crises, from urban-level dynamics to the global processes of location and mobility, the gender dimension of crises, from the contentious politics of sexualities to the challenge of tackling the intersectional nature of oppression, and explorations of the politicizing and depoliticizing effects of today’s emphasis on ‘crises’.
