Given the centrality of economics and communication in the Occupy
movement, Understanding Occupy from Wall Street to Portland uses
economic insights and contemporary theories of communication to
better understand the movement at this current juncture in history.
This collection is organized by complementary theoretical and
methodological perspectives: the global-critical cultural and
economic understandings of Occupy; the local-interpretive
ethnographic examinations of a local site-Occupy Portland, Oregon;
and mediated perspectives-analyses of the words of officials and
media. The contributors also examine social movement phenomena by
stepping outside of social movement theory to analyze the macro-
and microprocesses of the Occupy movement, demonstrating the
saliency of communication theory. Throughout the volume are
in-depth case studies that examine universal narratives about
Occupy. One of the challenges of studying Occupy is that members of
this movement are committed to not allowing any one person (or
entity) to define it. One way the editors acknowledge this and
attempt to honor the individualism and postmodern fragmentation of
this movement is to consider their findings in light of the three
interpretive lenses of the romantic, functional, and critical. This
informative and comprehensive text provides a critical lens on the
constantly evolving Occupy movement.
