INCLAN OSEGUERA, María de la Luz. In the Shadow of Sidney Tarrow: Concepts in the Study of Protest Movements.Traducido porIsabel Muñoz Gil. Polít. gob [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.1, pp.189-212. ISSN 1665-2037.
The purpose of this essay is to provide the reader with basic terms and conceptual ideas in the literature of protest mobilization, as protests are the more tangible expressions of a social movement. The essay opens with a discussion about cycles and waves of protests. After identifying the differences between these two, I explore more specific concepts like framing and diffusion of protests, their timing, scale shift, and repertoires of contention to finally end by proposing what can be considered as successes and failures of the protest movement. For each concept I provide a concise definition and an applied example. Most of the concepts’ illustrations come from the Zapatista cycle of protests. However, I also incorporate examples from more recent protest movements in order to show the reader that while the study of social movements tend to adapt itself constantly to the events that shape the subfield, some concepts survive as useful tools in the discipline.
