Political Generations, Micro-Cohorts, and the Transformation of Social Movements
提出一个关于社会运动延续与变迁的世代模型,基于政治世代和队列更替理论,通过1969-1992年俄亥俄州哥伦布市妇女运动的案例,说明积极分子队列的集体认同如何随时间保持稳定、如何因进入时的背景不同而构建不同认同,以及队列更替如何推动运动变化。
In this paper the author proposes a generational model of continuity and change in social movements. Building on political generation and cohort replacement theories, he offers three propositions about generational processes in social movements : (1) the collective identity of an activist cohort remains consistent over time, contributing to movement continuity; (2) cohorts construct different collective identities based on the external contexts and internal conditions of the movement at the time they enter; (3) cohort replacement contributes to change in social movements. These three generational processes interact with organizational factors and political opportunity structures to shape movement continuity and change. He illustrates these propositions by drawing on an in-depth case study of the women's movement from 1969 to 1992 in Columbus, Ohio, and he suggests key questions about generational processes in other cases
