Full paper submissions deadline: December 1st 2015.
Questioning the relationship between activism with - and without - organisation throws up some interesting and important inter-disciplinary questions that this Special Issue would particularly like to address. At the most fundamental level it gives us cause to interrogate the very idea of activism:
o where does activism begin and end?
o Who gets to be an activist?
o how do informal experiences of activism encourage engagement with more organised forms (and vice versa)?
o How are organisational forms of activism dictated to by specific social and spatial temporalities, particularly at a time of crisis?
o how can a more informed complex understanding of the organisational natures of activism allow us to better recognise, value, strengthen and link up different types of patterns of activism and resistance?
The editors welcome papers focused on organisation of activism and protest, past and present, situated in any part of the world and at any scale.
