  • Historical Priorities and the Responses of Doctors' Associations
    Historical Priorities and the Responses of Doctors’ Associations to Abortion Reform Proposals in Britain and the United States, 1960–1973 DREW HALFMANN, University of California, Davis In the 1960s and early 1970s, policy-makers in Britain and the United States considered proposals to make abortions more readily available. The main doctors’ associations in each country responded differently to these proposals. Doctors’ associations in both countries initially sought to preserve clinical autonomy by ensuring that doctors could continue to “diagnose” the “medical necessity” of abortions. However, the American Medical Asso- ciation (AMA) eventually changed its position to allow abortion on request. The study explains this difference by way of an “historical priorities” approach to analyzing the construction of collective political demands. It argues that “policy legacies” provide contexts in which collective actors prioritize among their policy desires. The study nds that because of differing health care policy legacies British doctors’ associations viewed abortion clinical autonomy as a higher priority than did the AMA. Moreover, British doctors’ associations were most concerned about patient infringements on clinical autonomy, while the AMA was equally concerned about state infringe- ments on autonomy. In the 1960s and early 1970s, policy-makers in Britain and the United States considered, and eventually enacted, abortion reform proposals that sought to make abortions more readily available. The responses of major doctors’ associations to these proposals differed markedly. 1 Both the British Medical Association (BMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) initially sought to preserve their power to “diagnose” the “medical necessity” of abortions and, as a result, opposed both abortion on request and abortion for grounds of economic hardship.

  • War Pictures: the Grotesque As a Mobilizing Tactic*
    WAR PICTURES: THE GROTESQUE AS A MOBILIZING TACTIC* Drew Halfmann and Michael P. Young† This article examines the uses and effects of grotesque imagery in the antislavery and antiabortion movements and considers implications for theories of movement framing and mobilization. Grotesque images can produce strong emotions that may increase the resonance of movement frames and provide physiological “evidence” of immorality. Such images may also produce confusion and ambiguity that deeply engages readers or viewers and potentially breaks frames. But grotesque images can also be counterproductive for activists. They can cause readers or viewers to turn away in disgust, and their use can taint activists as prurient, irrational, uncivil, or manipulative. Finally, the effects of grotesque images are likely to vary across audiences, social contexts, and the skill of the activists that deploy them. The use of shocking and gruesome images has been a much remarked-upon feature of the antiabortion movement in the Untied States. But such images have been utilized by many other movements as well, including those against slavery, racial oppression, child labor, war, nuclear weapons, alcohol, drunk driving, tobacco, pornography, immigration, and the mistreatment of animals. In this article, we examine uses of such images in the antiabortion and antislavery movements and consider implications for theories of movement framing and mobilization. Utilizing the literary and artistic concept of “the grotesque”—images of distorted bodies and the border between human and inhuman—we argue that this aesthetic technique is available to most moral movements and discuss its tactical strengths and weaknesses. Over the last twenty years, scholars of social movements have made great strides in understanding the cultural frames that movements use to diagnose social problems, identify targets of action, and mobilize adherents (Benford and Snow 2000; Snow and Benford 1988; Snow, Rochford, Worden, and Benford 1986).

    All the Movements Fit to Print: Who, What, When, Where, and Why SMO Families Appeared in the New York Times in the Twentieth Century Edwin Amenta Neal Caren University of California-Irvine University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Sheera Joy Olasky James E. Stobaugh New York University University of California-Irvine Why did some social movement organization (SMO) families receive extensive media coverage? In this article, we elaborate and appraise four core arguments in the literature on movements and their consequences: disruption, resource mobilization, political partisanship, and whether a movement benefits from an enforced policy. Our fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analyses (fsQCA) draw on new, unique data from the New York Times across the twentieth century on more than 1,200 SMOs and 34 SMO families. At the SMO family level, coverage correlates highly with common measures of the size and disruptive activity of movements, with the labor and African American civil rights movements receiving the most coverage.

  • Assessing the Feminist Revolution: the Presence and Absence of Gender in Theory and Practice
    Assessing the feminist revolution: The presence and absence of gender in theory and practice. Myra Marx Ferree Shamus Khan Shauna A. Morimoto University of Wisconsin-Madison Forthcoming in Craig Calhoun (ed), 2006. History of Sociology in America: ASA Centennial Volume. University of Chicago Press Revised June 28, 2005 We offer our heart-felt thanks for the thought-proving input and useful comments provided by Chris Bose, Craig Calhoun, Paula England, Lowell Hargens, Jerry Jacobs, Judith Lorber, Patricia Yancey Martin, Joya Misra, Cameron Macdonald, Patricia Roos and Sylvia Walby. Abstract In 1972 a small group of sociologists sat-in at the all-male bar in the hotel hosting the ASA annual meeting, dramatically symbolizing their challenge to women’s marginalization by the discipline of sociology.. Since then, sociology has changed to include more women in its leading departments and core organizations as well as among graduate students and faculty. In addition, the study of gender has not only become more legitimate and visible, but has changed qualitatively. We assess the quantitative trends and critical turning points in this story of increasing inclusion. We also point to parts of the picture that raise doubts about how fully successful this mainstreaming process has been, especially in relation to entrenched practices that place women at the margins of the discipline. We look especially at the extent to which new approaches to gender have entered the journals and the degree to which the issue of gender is equated with women alone. Assessing the feminist revolution: the presence and absence of gender in theory and practice.

  • Democratic States and Social Movements: Theoretical Arguments and Hypotheses
    Democratic States and Social Movements: theoretical arguments and hypotheses. Edwin Amenta, Michael P. Young. Social Problems. May 1999 v46 i2 p153(1). Author's Abstract: In this paper we theorize the impact of democratic states on state-oriented challengers. We argue that aspects of states influence the overall mobilization of state-oriented challengers and the forms of their mobilization and collective action. We develop 12 hypotheses about the impact of state political institutions, democratic processes, bureaucracies, and policies on mobilization and provide illustrative evidence for each from studies of social movements. We also discuss the implications of the hypotheses for U.S. social movements. One key implication is that the U.S. state, comparatively speaking, has discouraged and continues to discourage social mobilization. Another is that the U.S. state has important systematic influences on forms of mobilization and collective action. Full Text: COPYRIGHT 1999 University of California Press Macro-social scholarship on social movements or challengers typically addresses questions about their mobilization for collective action or their impacts (McAdam, McCarthy and Zald 1988). To answer these questions, states have often been held to matter because challengers are often "state-oriented" (Amenta, Dunleavy and Bernstein 1994), in that they target the state and their goals can be achieved only by state action. Challengers that mainly target other societal actors often attempt to use states as leverage against their opponents, and even challengers that are mainly identity-oriented sometimes require state action to realize community-building goals. Perhaps for these reasons social movement scholars are focusing greater attention on states (Amenta and Zylan 1991; Goodwin 1995, Jenkins 1995; Kitschelt 1986; Kriesi 1995; Kriesi et al.
