■ Abstract The recent proliferation of scholarship on collective action frames and framing processes in relation to social movements indicates that framing processes have come to be regarded, alongside resource mobilization and political opportunity processes, as a central dynamic in understanding the character and course of social movements. This review examines the analytic utility of the framing literature for un- derstanding social movement dynamics. We first review how collective action frames have been conceptualized, including their characteristic and variable features. We then examine the literature related to framing dynamics and processes. Next we review the literature regarding various contextual factors that constrain and facilitate framing processes. We conclude with an elaboration of the consequences of framing processes for other movement processes and outcomes. We seek throughout to provide clarifi- cation of the linkages between framing concepts/processes and other conceptual and theoretical formulations relevant to social movements, such as schemas and ideology.

Challenging Codes: Collective Action in the Information Age@@@The Playing Self: Person and Meaning in the Planetary Society

A challenge facing cultural-frame institutionalism is to explain how existing institutional logics and role identities are replaced by new logics and role identities. This article depicts identity movements that strive to expand individual autonomy as motors of institutional change. It proposes that the sociopolitical legitimacy of activists, extent of theorization of new roles, prior defections by peers to the new logic, and gains to prior defectors act as identity-discrepant cues that induce actors to abandon traditional logics and role identities for new logics and role identities. A study of how the nouvelle cuisine movement in France led elite chefs to abandon classical cuisine during the period starting from 1970 and ending in 1997 provides wide-ranging support for these arguments. Implications for research on institutional change, social movements, and social identity are outlined

This article offers a critique of framing perspectives on collective action discourse and an alternative dialogic approach. The argument set forth is that the latter sees collective action discourse as a joint product of actors' agency and discourse dynamics, including its multivocal nature. Such discourse is a joint product of challengers' rational actions and the constraints of the discursive field. Challengers seek to appropriate and subvert the dominant discourses that legitimate power, creating discursive repertoires. To illustrate this, the contentious actions of English cotton spinners in the 1820s and 1830s are analyzed. The spinners produced a discursive repertoire drawing on mill owners' dominant discourses.

L'A. etudie l'influence du discours dans le domaine de l'action collective et plus particulierement des processus de mobilisation. Il examine de quelle maniere les cadres de l'action collective se construisent. Il analyse l'impact des ideologies en ce domaine. Il montre que le discours intervient dan les phenomenes de mobilisation aussi bien au niveau micro-sociologique que macro-sociologique. Il estime qu'un cadre d'action collective constitue une ressource culturelle a part entiere. Il decrit dans quelles conditions les cadres discursifs de l'action collective tendent a etre remplaces.

Fighting Words: Working-Class Formation, Collective Action, and Discourse in Early Nineteenth-Century England

This article critiques and extends Michael Burawoy’s perspective on the political apparatuses of production by arguing that he fails to take into account the embeddedness of labor control within legal institutions. Through a synthesis with new institutionalism and sociolegal studies the author argues that production regimes using unfree labor are favorable for capitalist labor subordination given their particular historical embeddedness in legal institutions, the other alternatives available for exploitation and capitalists’ social embeddedness in local institutions. This is demonstrated through an analysis of how capitalists in the Victorian English pottery industry used law as a foundation for the construction of a factory regime based in unfree labor.

Capitalist Development, the Labor Process, and the Law1

Drawing from work in dialogic theory and cultural studies, this paper provides a perspective on how popular music becomes a facet of social movements It critiques current work in the social movement literatures analyzing the role of pop in mobilization and collective action, and explores how dialogic analysis and selected work in cultural studies can expand extant perspectives on the role of framing, collective identity, emotions and narrative to include pop music The perspective is illustrated through an analysis of the use of rock music in episodes of student protest against the Milosevic regime in Serbia in 1996/97 and 2000
