“…The media, of course, play a key role in framing issues for a mass audience. Research has shown that exposure to an issue via the media can increase public concern about the issue (McCombs and Shaw, 1972;Page and Shapiro, 1989;Szasz, 1994) and that this shared concern can lead to political mobilization (McCarthy, Smith, and Zald, 1996;Klandermans and Goslinga, 1996). Accordingly, activists have used the media to amplify reports of supply-chain labor abuse, increasing the potential for mobilization and heightening consumer concern about the issue (Fransen 2012).…”

“…Diagnostic framing relates to the process of identifying and defining an issue as a problem, ascertaining its source, attributing blame or causality, and delineating collective identity boundaries between 'us' and 'them' (Benford and Snow, 2000). Prognostic framing aims towards establishing both solutions to problems and the means of realising those solutions (McCarthy et al, 1996;Snow and Benford, 1988). Importantly, this relates as much to broader societal solutions to identified problems, as it does to the internal practices of movements geared towards bringing about sought-after outcomes (Benford and Snow, 2000).…”

Relations programmes. His work focuses on the following areas interrelated areas: first, the constitution of modes of political subjectivity (in 'radical', liberal, neoliberal and conservative forms), and the relationship with dominant economic structures and forms of social identity, and second, the philosophical understanding of social movements (including anti-globalisation, anti-capitalism, Occupy, etc.) with specific reference to Marxist, post-Marxist, post-anarchist, and autonomist perspectives. Correspondence address:School AbstractThis paper situates the discourse of the Occupy movement within the context of radical political philosophy. Our analysis takes place on two levels. First, we conduct an empirical analysis of the 'official' publications of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and Occupy London (OL). Operationalising core concepts from the framing perspective within social movement theory, we provide a descriptive-comparative analysis of the 'collective action frames' of OWS and OL. Second, we consider the extent to which radical political philosophy speaks to the discourse of Occupy. Our empirical analysis reveals that both movements share diagnostic frames, but there were notable differences in terms of prognostic framing. The philosophical discussion suggests that there are alignments between anarchist, post-anarchist and post-Marxist ideologies at the level of both identity and strategy. Indeed, the absence of totalising anti-capitalist or anti-statist positions in Occupy suggests that -particularly with Occupy Londonalignments are perhaps not so distant from typically social democratic demands.

“…For several weeks and months following the bank crash, the unfolding economic crisis had the full attention of the Icelandic media as well as the public. If media attention is essential to mass mobilization (Andrews and Biggs 2006;Klandermans and Goslinga 1996;McCarthy, Smith, and Zald 1996), the Icelandic media paved the way for the protest movement by constantly delivering news and analyses about the alleged local causes of the crisis as well as the country's bleak economic future. The shared national focus on the financial collapse, along with the public's confusion, anxiety, and disappointment, gave public speakers who interpreted the events a tremendous amount of publicity in the media as well as widespread public attention and enthusiasm.…”
