The Anti/alternative-globalization Movement: A Case Study On TurkeyErgul-yilmaz, Mujgan 01 December 2006 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis explores the framing processes within the Anti/Alternative-Globalization Movement through a case study on Turkey. The purpose of the study is to supply a descriptive analysis of the diagnostic and prognostic framing processes within the movement which identify the targets, goals and the strategies of action for the movement. This is an exploratory research based on a purposive sample achieved through snowball sampling and qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews.
The movement in Turkey has not been able to propose a concrete goal for the movement. The participating organizations or activists have different visualizations of the &ldquo / alternative futures&rdquo / they are fighting for / there is no consensus on the strategies of action to be followed, but there is a belief in an evolutionary &ldquo / becoming&rdquo / process which eventually will provide a totally new alternative. There are many frame contestations besides power claims existing within the movement / however, there are two major consensus points supplying the basis of solidarity within the movement: According to the movement the cause of the current discontent within the world&rsquo / s societies is globalization, which is mostly equated to neoliberalism or capitalism, and secondly the movement is seen as being able to shape a better future. It is possible to conclude that the movement has a potential tobring about concrete social changes, and therefore the new organizational forms and strategies of action -developed within the movement- which do not fit to the existing conceptions of the social movement literature should be evaluated with different theoretical perspectives.

Od autonomie k post-autonomii? Případ Autonomního sociálního centra Klinika / From Autonomy to Post-autonomy? Case of Autonomous Social Center KlinikaBöhmová, Ludmila January 2018 (has links)
The focus of my thesis is on the process of transformation of the leftist movement from autonomous to post-autonomous. Specifically, I am interested in the transformation of the Czech squatting movement and the case of the Autonomous Social Centre Klinika. I ask whether it is possible to consider the case of Klinika an example of post-autonomy in Czech context, and which dimensions of the transformation can we identify there. In the theoretical part I define the concept of autonomy and how the autonomous movements understand it. By defining the characteristics of the autonomous movements alongside with theoretical literature, I then identify five dimensions of the transformation from autonomy to post-autonomy. Because the transformation is influenced by both internal and external facts, it is important to me, to firstly understand the neoliberal mode of thinking, its difficulties and other facts, which can determine the transformation. Crucial for research are the data I collect from the semi-structured interviews with respondents, who have been selected based on their experiences with squatting in Czech context.
