Description
Summary:Social movement approaches start with assumptions that negate other forms of struggle undertaken by individual subjects in different areas of everyday life. Based on a notion of struggle taken from the work of John Holloway, we formulate a critique of two of these assumptions: the association of movements with social change, and the collective nature of the struggles that make such change possible. Two cases, one in Oaxaca and the other in Guerrero (Mexico), are used to illustrate the content of the analysis presented. We show how, in their concrete everyday lives, subjects deploy other forms of doing, ways of living that negate capitalist relations and aim to construct of other relations of a different type.
