Culture and Ritual in the Montreal Women's Movement
|
| Abstract |
The authors focus on how culture and ritual in social movements can be forms of protest or conduits to contentious politics. Based on the Montreal cases of the Anglophone women's performance scene in the 1990s and the 2000 World March of Women campaign, the authors argue that the context in which culture is produced and consumed affects its political character and potential. They maintain that networks among activists and organizations in social movement communities affect the extent to which participants interpret and use cultural productions and rituals to support political change. The authors conclude that movement campaigns play an important role in giving political meaning to cultural rituals and providing opportunities for participants in cultural activities to become involved in contentious political action.
