The book fills a gap in the English language market on social
movements through using a historical lens to examine social
movements' outcomes in Brazil. Chapters offer various
methodological approaches and perspectives vital to understanding
social movement scholarship. This includes network analysis,
collective memory, trajectories, and quantitative techniques of
event-in-history analysis. Author research, case study analyses,
and interviews with key figures are deployed to provide new and
differing perspectives to the field. The book brings together a new
and diverse range of voices to the field of social movements.
For three months Biel, Switzerland, hosted a special kind of
sculpture. It was special not simply because it was by one of
Switzerland's most famous contemporary artists-Thomas
Hirschhorn-and dedicated to one of the most prominent authors in
the history of Swiss literature, Robert Walser. Beyond that, this
sculpture was a redefinition of sculpture itself, because what
takes on a plastic form here is not made of stone, steel, or
bronze. It is society itself that helped to develop this work of
art. In 2016 Thomas Hirschhorn and the curator Kathleen Buhler
began doing field research in Biel, the city of Robert Walser's
birth, connecting with residents, clubs, artists, literati, and
experts. This resulted in a multifaceted agenda. Every day the two
offered events such as readings, walking tours, lectures, and
children's activities. All of this ultimately comprised the Robert
Walser-Sculpture. Never before has an entire city been integrated
into a temporary work of art in this way.
