Abstract

While social network analysis (SNA) has traditionally been used to study actor networks, it can also reveal "meaning structures" (Mohr 1998), the relationships connecting cultural elements such as ideas and practices. We argue that the repertoire of contention represents a meaning structure, analyzable using SNA of tactical co-deployments at protests. We use data from over 7,000 protest events in New York State from 1960 to 1995. Our analyses suggest that co-deployed tactics are not chosen independently or combined randomly but rather cluster into sets with distinct roles. These roles reveal cultural affinities among the tactics and are largely stable over time, although some variation related to the protest cycle and tactical form can be detected. We also examine the position of a specific theoretical category of tactics, radical tactics, within the larger tactical repertoire.

文化约束的争用:映射争用曲目的意义结构

虽然社会网络分析(SNA)传统上被用于研究行动者网络，但它也可以揭示“意义结构”(Mohr 1998)，即连接文化元素(如思想和实践)的关系。我们认为，争论的曲目代表了一种意义结构，可以使用抗议中战术共同部署的SNA进行分析。我们使用了纽约州从1960年到1995年的7000多起抗议事件的数据。我们的分析表明，共同部署的战术不是独立选择或随机组合的，而是聚集成具有不同角色的集合。这些角色揭示了战术之间的文化亲和力，并且随着时间的推移在很大程度上是稳定的，尽管可以检测到与抗议周期和战术形式相关的一些变化。我们还考察了战术的一个具体的理论范畴，激进战术，在更大的战术剧目中的地位。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
