“…Contemporary multicultural and transnational societies have become sites of multiple types of participation, not all of them linked to official parliamentary politics (Soysal, 1994). New social movements (Wieviorka, 2005) have led to new forms of political participation and mobilisation (Stott and Reicher, 2012), focusing for example on the domain of culture (Nash, 2001), religion (Modood, 2010) or gender (Phillips, 2009). These identity politics call for a new understanding of participation, one that is not limited to the official political sphere.…”

Social Representations and the Politics of Participation

Recent work has called for the integration of different perspectives into the field of political psychology (e.g., Haste, 2012). This chapter suggests that one possible direction that such efforts can take is studying the role that social representations theory can play in understanding political participation and social change. Social representations are systems of common-sense knowledge and social practice; they provide the lens through which to view and create social and political realities, mediate people's relations with these socio-political worlds and defend cultural and political identities. Social representations are therefore key for conceptualising participation as the activity that locates individuals and social groups in their socio-political world. Political participation is generally seen as conditional to membership of socio-political groups and therefore is often linked to citizenship. To be a citizen of a society or a member of any social group one has to participate as such. Often political participation is defined as the ability to communicate one's views to the political elite or to the political establishment (Uhlaner, 2001), or simply explicit involvement in politics and electoral processes (Milbrath, 1965). However, following scholars on ideology (Thompson, 1990;Eagleton, 1991) and social knowledge (Jovchelovitch, 2007), we extend our understanding of political participation to all social relations and also develop a more agentic model where individuals and groups construct, develop and resist their own views, ideas and beliefs. We This chapter is divided into four parts: the first lays out social representations theory (SRT); the second highlights the ways in which SRT offers a contextualised and dynamic approach to the politics of participation; the third part examines the role of recognition in shaping the participation of different social groups; the final part explores the possibilities for agency and resistance in contexts of contested participation. We conclude with a discussion of the benefits of incorporating social representations theory into Political Psychology.

“…Lorsque l'État était l'interlocuteur privilégié et souvent unique des mouvements de la société industrielle, l'organisation hiérarchique et de masse permettait de construire un rapport de force face à lui et de faire émerger des leaders forts aptes à négocier avec l'État. Les mouvements ont désormais une multiplicité de cibles (États, institutions internationales, entreprises...) qui se situent à différents paliers (Armstrong et Bernstein, 2008 ;Wieviorka, 2005). La structure en réseau leur permet d'adapter leur approche à chacune de ces instances qui sont souvent à la fois des adversaires, des partenaires et des objets de pressions de la part des réseaux altermondialistes.…”

Résumé Contrairement aux modèles classiques du développement des mouvements sociaux, l’altermondialisme n’a pas globalement évolué vers une institutionnalisation de ses associations et de ses événements. Sa structure organisationnelle reste largement basée sur des réseaux relativement autonomes. Cet article invite à considérer la réflexivité des acteurs et leurs cultures politiques comme l’un des facteurs explicatifs majeurs du maintien de structures réticulaires relativement souples au sein de l’altermondialisme. À partir d’études de cas, d’observations qualitatives, d’entretiens menés entre 1999 et 2008, cet article montre que le plébiscite apparent des organisations spécifiquement altermondialistes pour la forme réticulaire repose sur un malentendu opératoire. Les uns valorisent le réseau pour son efficacité, les autres parce qu’il favorise une organisation horizontale et participative. La forme du réseau renvoie ainsi pour les altermondialistes à deux ensembles de valeurs qui ne sont pas forcément compatibles.

This paper presents a New Social Movement approach to the studies of local food system development. It aims to identify whether local food initiatives coalesce into a movement in Lithuania, drawing on the characteristics derived from the New Social Movement theory. Discourse analysis and semi-structured interviews with representatives of local food organizations and initiatives are applied as main methods of the study. Results reveal that social processes around local food are characterized by much unified commitment of participants to a cause, moderately expressed opposition to the adversary of movement, and fainting networking among them. The evidence of all applied characteristics suggests that local food movement is present in Lithuania yet in the incoherent and insubstantial form.
