“…The success of a frame is measured by its resonance; in turn, resonance is primarily the interactive function of its credibility, empirical commensurability, and salience to audience experience (Benford and Snow, 2000a: 619-22). Resonance is essentially an ecological variable that situates framing processes within specific socio-historical contexts (Berbrier, 1998;Kubal, 1998;Mirola, 2003). Resonant framing means using contextually available cultural tools-relevant and salient metaphors, recognizable stereotypes, and familiar story templates-to render news stories immediately accessible and satisfying to audiences.…”

Cet article compare les portraits médiatiques de personnes qui travaillent dans l'industrie du sexe avec les représentations de soi de ces travailleurs, représentations qui incluent leurs origines personnelles et leurs expériences vécues au quotidien. Notre objectif est de jauger la distance empirique entre les descriptions médiatiques et la réalité vécue de ces travailleurs puis de comprendre comment les médias contribuent à cons‐truire, reproduire et approfondir les stigmates sociaux associés au travail dans l'industrie du sexe. Nous avangons que le fait de distinguer la variabilité historique et spatiale de ces stigmates ainsi que le fait d'expli‐quer leurs racines dans les activités de sens et de pratiques des auteurs et autorités médiatiques représentent une avancée cruciale pour la compréhension de leur construction sociale. This paper compares media portrayals of people who work in the sex industry with these workers' self‐reports of their personal backgrounds and experiences of what they do for a living. Our aim is to first, gauge the empirical distance between media depictions and workers' lived reality, and second, to understand how the media contributes to constructing, reproducing and deepening the social stigmas associated with working in the sex industry. We argue that pulling apart the historical and spatial variability of these stigmas and explicating their roots in the meaning‐making activities of media authors and authorities is a crucial step towards understanding their social construction.

“…A frame is considered successful if its audience accepts and engages with its interpretive framework (Benford 1997), and thus is conducive to achieving organizational aims (Haydu 1999). In the context of social movement organizations, success is often defined simply when a frame helps a movement realize its goals (Polletta 1998; Mirola 2003). By extension, state official frames are successful when they help a state realize its end goal: retaining legitimacy among the citizenry.…”

“…Importantly, while the failure of a frame is not a death knell per se, lack of frame resonance can jeopardize the realization of organizational goals (Hallgrímsdóttir 2006). Collective action frames are considered “failures” when competing frames become dominant and push the failed frames out of the movement's discourse (Mirola 2003; Hallgrímsdóttir 2006). In her examination of the frames utilized by same‐sex‐marriage advocates in Hawaii, Hull (2001) denoted frame failure with the passage of anti‐same‐sex‐marriage legislation.…”

Extant research on official frames centers on state campaigns, yet nonstate entities also utilize their own official frames. We extend the existing social movement literature by examining the unsuccessful framing efforts of a uranium mill in Cañon City, Colorado. Despite a history of environmental contamination and resultant health problems, the corporation deployed an official frame to reestablish the company's legitimacy and justify their actions following the controversy. Our data included newspaper coverage, archival documents, in‐depth interviews, and direct observation. Findings highlight critical factors that can undermine corporate official frames, and show that failed framing efforts can ultimately erode elite legitimacy.

“…The frames and attendant claims used by activists to define breast cancer as a public problem had a high degree of cultural resonance with their audiences, a condition necessary for the success of a social movement (Epstein 1997, Johnston et al 1994, Mirola 2003, Snow et al 1986). This analysis expands the range of movement activities to include the public speech actions (Johnston 1995) of activists by examining the public performance of breast cancer activist discourse.…”

Framing as a cultural resource in health social movements: funding activism and the breast cancer movement in the US 1990–1993

Disease-specific funding activism in the US has required health social movements (HSMs) to draw on both structural and cultural resources in order to persuade audiences and to redefine dominant conceptions of disease. Using a social constructionist analysis of Congressional testimony and media accounts of breast cancer funding activism between 1990-1993, this paper demonstrates that the use of culturally resonant frames served as an important cultural resource for breast cancer activists in the early 1990s. The breast cancer movement's use of three interconnected and culturally resonant frames aided the movement in redefining breast cancer as a problem of individual women to a major public health problem in need of governmental attention. This research contributes to both social movement and HSM scholarship by demonstrating that cultural resources, in the form of movement frames, are as central to social movement analysis as structural resources.
