What drives people to take to the streets in protest? What is their
connection to other activists and how does that change over time?
How do seemingly spontaneous activist movements emerge, endure, and
evolve, especially when they lack a leader and concrete agenda? How
does one analyze a changing political movement immersed in
contingency? Impulse to Act addresses these questions incisively,
examining a wide range of activist movements from the December 2008
protests in Greece to the recent chto delat in Russia. Contributors
in the first section of this volume highlight the affective
dimensions of political movements, charting the various ways in
which participants coalesce around and belong to collectives of
resistance. The potent agency of movements is highlighted in the
second section, where scholars show how the emerging actions and
critiques of protesters help disrupt authoritative political
structures. Responding to the demands of the field today, the novel
approaches to protest movements in Impulse to Act offer new ways to
reengage with the traditional cornerstones of political
anthropology.
