The first part of the course covered by Dr Grzegorz Piotrowski is dedicated to social movements studies and to their several theoretical approach: Structural approaches, Historical Sociology, Sociological Intervention, Cultural approach, Historical and Contemporary Social Movements; Action Research, : Marxist theory; Collective behaviour and collective action theory; Relative deprivation theory; Value added theory; Resource Mobilization; Frame Analysis, Theory; New Social Movements; and Virtual movements, clicktivism and hacktivism.
The second part of the course covered by Pro. Massimiliano Andretta, will introduce the basic concepts, theories and research methods elaborated in the political participation literature, with a specific focus on protest and social movements. We will analyse the concepts and theories of political participation, by distinguishing between the different actors of the political participation: political parties, movements, interest groups and association. Particularly, attention will be paid to the relations between those actors in the context of contemporary democracies. Moreover, we will analyse in details pieces of empirical research on social movements and protest, by emphasising the methods used in this research.
