  • Women Activists of Occupy Wall Street Consciousness-Raising and Connective Action in Hybrid Social Movements Megan Boler and Christina Nitsou
    11 Women Activists of Occupy Wall Street Consciousness-Raising and Connective Action in Hybrid Social Movements Megan Boler and Christina Nitsou REDEFINING SOCIAL MOVEMENT “SUCCESS” On the Second Anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, September 17, 2013, political commentator Robert Reich dismissed the movement as having failed, in part due to its “lack of a clear leadership.” 1 Such judgments per- sistently accusing Occupy Wall Street (OWS) of having “no clear goals or aims”—widely held misrepresentations of OWS which began almost as soon as media began reporting—refl ect a fundamental misunderstanding and misrecognition of the particular commitments, aims, and visions of OWS as well as how contemporary “hybrid social movements” function, mobilized by a new generation of young, often fi rst-time activists. In par- ticular, the horizontal (nonhierarchical) organizational structure can appear to those unfamiliar with horizontalism as a lack of clear goals. Such accu- sations fail to recognize a key feature of contemporary social movements: the increasingly important commitment to a process of liberation as part and parcel of any end goals or singular aims. OWS is known as a leaderless movement for this reason, including features such as consensus-based deci- sions and radical inclusivity. Horizontalism creates a nonhierarchical space which invites women to thrive and fi nd spaces and places to assume “leadership.” A key participant from Occupy Santa Cruz tells us, . since we were in a horizontal structure, and in a vertical structure women are often put at the lower rung of the ladder, it was a way for women to be heard. So that did happen and .

    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

  • Austerity and Societal Response: the Double Movement in Post-Crisis Canada
    Austerity and Societal Response: The Double Movement in Post-Crisis Canada by Damira Grigorieva A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2014, Damira Grigorieva Abstract Through the application of Karl Polanyi's theory of the Double Movement and his concepts of embedded and disembedded economies, the thesis evaluates the contemporary situation in Canada post global financial crisis of 2008. Post-crisis policies and actions of the federal government in the form of financial support to financial institutions, stimulus packages and the ensuing austerity measures are evaluated alongside the societal response to these actions, which is observed through anti-austerity discourse, with special reference to the Occupy Movement across Canada and the Quebec Student Movement. As a result of the high level of neo-liberal entrenchment in Canada a strong move towards re-embedding the economy within the sphere of social influence has not been able to materialize. However, the presence of these sites of resistance represents the evidence of the Double Movement and may be the leading edge of a potential swing of the pendulum towards more socio-democratic control over the economy in the future. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Master’s thesis supervisor Prof. Allan Moscovitch for the continuous support of my study and research, for his patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. His guidance and support helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis.

  • Has Public Protest Gone to the Dogs? a Social Rights Approach to Social Protest Law in Canada* Graham Mayeda
    Has Public Protest Gone to the Dogs? A Social Rights Approach to Social Protest Law in Canada* Graham Mayeda A. Introduction How should the law react to social protest? Should it facilitate it? Should it limit it? This question is particularly poignant today, when protests such as the Occupy movement, the Québec student tuition protests and the Idle No More movement demonstrate the continued importance of protest as a form of social action. In this chapter, I argue that the social rights approach to resolving social conflict can be applied to develop a progressive legal framework for dealing with social protest. To determine the proper role of law in regard to social protest, I begin by examining what “legal rights” are. 1 The traditional approach to rights treats them as having determinate content – each right can be given a legal meaning. For instance, the right to privacy is the right to be free from unreasonable intrusion into personal life by the state. 2 Moreover, in the traditional approach, rights holders can come into conflict. When they do, the role of law is to resolve their competing rights claims. The essential paradigm of the law that animates the traditional view is one of conflict and confrontation. Two or more rights holders enter into conflict, and the conflict must be resolved through a theoretical confrontation between competing rights holders undertaken in the abstract by legal tribunals. In this paper, I compare this traditional approach to a social rights approach. The social rights movement, which expands the panoply of rights * This is a pre-publication draft of a chapter for the forthcoming book Social Rights in Canada (edited by Martha Jackman & Bruce Porter) to be published by Irwin Law.

An Abstract of “To Excite the Feelings of Noble Patriots:” Emotion, Public Gatherings, and Mackenzie’s American Rebellion, 1837-1842 by Joshua M. Steedman Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo August 2019 This dissertation is a cultural history of the American reaction to the Upper Canadian Rebellion and the Patriot War. This project is based on an analysis of newspaper articles published by William Lyon Mackenzie and his contemporaries, diplomatic cables between Washington D.C. and London, letters, and accounts of celebrations, toasts, and public meetings which occurred between 1837 and 1842. I argue Americans and Upper Canadians in the Great Lakes region made up a culture area. By re-engaging in a battle with the British, Upper Canadians, and their American supporters sought redemption. Reacting to geographic isolation from major metropolitan areas and a looming psychic crisis motivated many of these individuals to act.
