URBINA CORTES, Gustavo Adolfo. Perceptions of protest: a partial approach to those who do not mobilize. Estud. sociol [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.107, pp.417-437. ISSN 2448-6442.  https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2018v36n107.1662.

This research advance addresses the subjective dimension of collective action between mobilized and immobilized individuals. Due to the importance of spectators as a potential “reserve army” to swell the protest, these notes focus on an exploratory comparative analysis between a group with mobilization antecedents and another without involvement. The main objective was to extract some hypotheses which could help to problematize in a partial way the link, not often studied in Mexico, between the perception of social protest, its moral dimensioning and its importance to summon a political involvement.

Keywords : protest; spectators; mobilization; efficacy; perception; collective action.
