Description Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading.

Solidarity once described a strong affiliation with a (political) community. Originating in the worker’s movements, the term evolved around what came to be understood as a „collective identity“ that was strongly tied to a cause, often seen as unchanging and fixating political affiliations. As a result, in the industrial era, following a Marxist logic, social movements were believed to be centered in the working class. „New Social Movements“ describe the fluid and transnational participation of a diverse public in changing causes. How is solidarity articulated, if identities are increasingly diverse, multiple, and dispersed across location? How have movements like Fridays For Future, #metoo, Occupy and others harnessed collectivity across identities, time, space?
The seminar will discuss theories on solidarity in new social movements and apply them to examples such as the ones mentioned above.
