Joëlle Affolter, Amir Hamid, Tobias Weiss, all URPP Asia and Europe
Room WIE F-07, Wiesenstrasse 7/9, 8008 Zurich
This workshop is a pre-conference workshop to URPP’s annual conference “Travelling Norms and the Politics of Contention,” to be held October 25–26, 2013. It will deal with new social movements and non-movements (Asef Bayat) and new forms of political protest and their relationship to the use of digital media, in particular social network services, such as Twitter or Facebook. Presenters as well as the audience are expected to consist mostly of Ph.D. students, presenting and discussing their current research projects related to the subject of this workshop. The aim is to build a network of young researchers who are studying similar phenomena, but haven’t yet got the chance to get connected and exchange about questions of common theories, concepts and methodologies due to the relative recency and actuality of this research field. Hence, keynote speeches are planned to be given by rather young but specialized scholars in their fields, in order to keep the hierarchical structures of the event as flat as possible and foster fruitful discussions on an equal footing.
