First discussion

How? Emerging organizational logics, modes of interaction and involvement with social media.

  • Collective action and digital media: People working on the area and interested: Mayo Fuster Morell, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Rob Faris, Zeynep Tufekci, Bruce Etling, Nagla Rizk, Colin Maclay, Pablo Rey (role that the mass media and social media play in these mobilizations.

  • The correct way to conceptualize online/offline mobilization and the relationships between the two as people navigate cyberspace and physical space during protests (Alicia Solow-Niederman).

Second discussion

Movement composition and visions/strategies of change: Actors involved, in terms (e.g.) of social groups mobilized vs those passive and those hostile, of different political and cultural traditions involved or not involved.

Commons strategy: E. Colin Ruggero

Third discussion

Is this really a global wave of protest? If so, Why // Explanatory factors and cases connections, and how the wave is diffused and translated among the several cases? Are there similar factors between them? Why did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once?.

  • Historical perspective: People working on the area and interested: Laurence Cox (Historical contextualization), Mayo Fuster Morell and Jeffrey Juris (Connections with previous waves of movilizations – Global Justice Movement); Alicia Solow-Niederman (how to understand the Occupy movement in the global context)

  • How the wave diffuse and translate among the several cases? People working on the area and interested: Maite Tapia (Diffusion of community organizing) Nicole Doerr (Translation and democracy) Cristina Flesher Fominaya (brief chronology and methodological issues); Maite Tapia (Is there potential for a shift of scale (e.g., to an international level)?); Ofer Sharone (comparing mobilization cross-nationally).
