  • Grassroots Protest Movements and Political Indeterminacy in an Evolving Burma
    Dear PPW, Although this paper is about social movements, I write it from another discipline (anthropology) and its theoretical groundings (ling-anth semiotics) are not, I think (but am not sure), in much conversation with social movements theory. I want to see how a paper written through these former lenses reads to scholars who look at these kinds of phenomena (social movements, that is) all the time. I am curious whether this kind of argument (essentially: ‘everyone, including the activists themselves, think that activists know substantively what they want and what they believe in, but as their tactics end up in some nutty places [because of escalation and such], and in their fight to change the material conditions imposed on them [such as having their stolen land given back], praxis itself changes the conditions so much as to change the conditions of possibility for those substantive views’) seems (a) to be what I’m actually saying and (b) if so, is it at all novel, or if, on the other hand, you read this and say, “oh yeah, that’s old hat, an argument adumbrated by John Doe 1996” or (c) you read this and say, “well, that’s just boring. Who cares what they believe at some given moment? of course, ideas are always changing in praxis” that would be helpful for me as well. Thanks, Elliott Grassroots Protest Movements and Political Indeterminacy in an Evolving Burma Elliott Prasse-Freeman1 Introduction Since Burma began its lauded transition a number of years ago from its half-century long military rule to quasi-democracy, two central themes have emerged in both popular and analytical discourses: the significance of macro-economic and macro- 1 Research for this article was supported by, respectively, the Wenner-Gren and National Science Foundations.

U Sein Than is a prisoner of conscience who must be immediately and unconditionally released. On 19 and 20 August U Sein Than was sentenced to eight months in prison for protesting without permission, under Article 18 of the Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession Law in Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city. The charges stem from a series of peaceful protests in 2014 by the community that lived in Michaungkan village, Thingangyun Township, Yangon until the early 1990s when the Myanmar Army allegedly confiscated their land. The community has been protesting for the return of their land and compensation for their losses in recent years. U Sein Than was arrested on 27 July, which according to reliable sources was just one day after he met the new UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar about the case of the Michaungkan community. In March 2014 around 100 community members began a peaceful sit-in protest next to Maha Bandoola Garden, close to Yangon’s City Hall, in response to continued failures by the Myanmar authorities to resolve their case. On 19 May U Sein Than learned that an arrest warrant had been issued against him under the Yangon Municipal Act and that he was due to stand trial before the Latha Township Court, Yangon because the sit-in protest obstructs the sidewalk.
