“…The Greek case reaffirms the principle that the international arena can add to, yet rarely supplants, local and national actors and messages embroiled in instances of contentious political engagement such as riots (Auyero 2001;Tarrow 2005). Whilst not predominant over 'home-grown' aspects of social disorder, international factors proved to be interwoven in important ways at each stage of the lifecycle of the Greek unrest of 2008, helping to shape its emergence, conduct and consequences.…”

This article examines the unrest that emanated in Athens and rolled out across Greek cities in December 2008 as a case through which to advance understanding of how local, national and international arenas may together shape localized episodes of disorder. We begin by addressing the proximate and structural causes of the unrest, before turning to explore the multifarious character of protest actions, including novel and derivative forms of contestation deployed by protestors, and public debate about the appropriate apportioning of blame amongst the variety of actors involved. Finally, we look at the diverse outcomes of the unrest and their impact upon extant socio-political tensions. For each stage of the life-cycle of the unrest, we evaluate the relevance of international actors, practices and discourses. Our analysis of the Greek unrest of 2008 suggests, first, that the array of intersections between global, national and local dimensions of unrest is more diverse than has heretofore been recognized by pertinent scholarship, and, second, that international or transnational factors may play a significant role in the emergence, conduct and consequences of disorder even in instances where national and local dynamics remain predominant.

“…Several researchers identify the sources of public protest to originate in the middle class barrios led by public employees, teachers, police, and small shop owners (Auyero 2001;Villalón 2007;Köhler and Wissen 2003;Garay 2007;Almeida 2007). The severe economic crisis in Argentina (1998Argentina ( -2002 gave rise to numerous alternative and innovative expressions of dissent and contentious protests, yet most of these public forms of protest are associated with the middle and working class (Blackwell 2002;Foweraker and Landman 1997;Villalón 2007;Auyero 2001). In fact, regarding the heterogeneity of one protest in Buenos Aires, a researcher commented that the protest included "shanty town dwellers with missing teeth, people who did not even know what to do" (Blackwell 2002).…”

Micropolitics of Urban Slums: Variations in How the Urban Poor Organize Politically

What social factors influence political participation among the urban poor in Latin America? This paper engages conventional theories of political action pertaining to the urban poor characterized by analytical cleavages that have traditionally accounted for the majority of variation in political behavior. Using primary survey data from La Carpio slum of San José, Costa Rica, multivariate regression analyses show that differing social factors influence political participation in dissimilar ways.Because La Carpio slum respondents moderately participate in community-based organizations and civil protest, nor are they manipulated by clientism, a theory of "quiet encroachment" may serve as an alternative framework for understanding the political behavior of respondents who seek to ameliorate harsh urban realities which have not improved in spite of a move to the center-left by transitional political movements in Latin America.

“…Ainsi, au début des années 1990, on voit apparaître les grandes marches « indiennes » et les barrages routiers en Équateur et en Bolivie. Ces actions vont rapidement « voyager » vers l'Argentine, où des chômeurs et des employés de l'État « sans solde » depuis des mois vont s'approprier ce « répertoire d'action » (Tilly, 1986) (Auyero, 2001 ;.…”

“…Sans reprendre la méthode utilisée par Javier Auyero (2001 ; 25 , la démarche utilisée ici s'en approche en plusieurs points, notamment en ce qui a trait à l'usage de récits d'actions pour interpréter l'ensemble du phénomène dans ses relations à la structure « globale ». Cette approche 25.…”

Récits et subjectivations politiques intersectionnelles transversales

Cet article s’intéresse à la construction contingente de subjectivations politiques situées à l’intersection de diverses formes de domination ainsi que de diverses pratiques sociales émancipatrices. Cherchant à dépasser une aporie constitutive du champ de l’intersectionnalité oscillant entre sujet et structure, le texte cherche à aborder des positions de sujet généralement « invisibilisées », sans les « déduire » directement des structures de la domination, mais aussi sans les individualiser ou les diluer dans un cumul désordonné de particularismes. En se basant sur un corpus de récits d’actions directes spontanées ayant eu lieu en Amérique latine au cours des deux dernières décennies, l’article cherche à montrer comment ces actions contestataires transgressives sont porteuses de subjectivations politiques intersectionnelles transversales permettant la convergence stratégique de positions divergentes ainsi que l’expression publique de positions invisibles et inaudibles jusqu’alors. L’analyse de ces positions permet non seulement de mieux comprendre les actions collectives et les motivations de leurs participants, mais également d’entreprendre, à partir de cette perspective épistémologique de la marge, une analyse intersectionnelle des structures de la domination.
