An ethnographic study of anti-nuclear movement groups that both
challenges assumptions of traditional social movement studies of
strategic action and shows what can be gained through microanalysis
of talk in meetings, this book advances social movement studies
methodologically and theoretically through the application of a new
method of sequential analysis. Drawing on both conversation
analysis and objective hermeneutics, it builds on microanalysis to
scale up from sequences of talk to meetings, from meetings to
groups, and from groups to the anti-nuclear movement, thus
addressing a common criticism of analyses of face-to-face
interactions: that they fail to demonstrate how their findings are
relevant for questions beyond the interaction itself and thus for a
broader sociological audience. A demonstration of the ways in which
strategic deliberations by activists are subject to dynamics of
face-to-face interaction, Talking Collective Action shows how
groups adopt different styles of planning to engage with their
environment and affect the groups' development over time. As such,
it will appeal to social scientists with interests in social
movements, organizations and conversation analysis.
