There they hung a banner declaring “Weapon of Mass Destruction Here”, as well as painting slogans such as “Stop Nuclear Terrorism Here” and hammering and pouring blood on the buried missile silo’s massive reinforced concrete cover. Their action on June 20, 2006 was the latest in the U.S. in the 26-year tradition of the Plowshares nuclear disarmament movement. In that time, hundreds of nonviolent resisters around the world have given flesh to the biblical prophecy of Isaiah and Micah, and begun the work of beating swords into plowshares. Many, if not most, have spent time in prison or jail as a consequence. The “Weapon of Mass Destruction Here” Plowshares defendants were sentenced November 16 in federal court in Bismarck, North Dakota, for destruction of government property. Fr. Carl Kabat OMI was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison, Greg Boertje-Obed was sentenced to 12 months, and Michael Walli received an eight month prison term.

  • Feminism for the 99 Percent
    - ESTO ;:.iii POLITICS / FEMINISM ",,::: $12.95/ £7.99/ $17.50CAN THIS IS Feminism for AMANIFESTO the 99 Percent FOR THE 99 PERCENT Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inad­ equate healthcare, border policing, climate change-these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of fem­ inist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start-or stop-with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anticapitalist, eco-socialist and anti racist.

  • View, Even As Power Restricts and Censors, It Has Generative Effects
    Producing Pacification: The Disciplinary Technologies of Smart Bombs and National Anti-War Organizing Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Curtis Culp Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Eugene W. Holland, Advisor Philip Armstrong Mathew Coleman Copyright by Andrew Curtis Culp 2009 Abstract The disciplinary technology of pacification works as a tool, embedded within the logistical assemblage of liberalism, which works to maintain lines of force necessary for reproducing liberalism’s conditions for existence. Chapter One develops this conceptual framework, situating my approach in relation to Foucaultian scholarship on biopolitics and war. The proceeding chapters are an exploration of two different cases that demonstrate radically different contexts in which the pacification-assemblage-force assemblage is mobilized. In Chapter Two, I consider smart bombs as a disciplinary technology of pacification within the assemblage of ‘virtuous war’, tracing effects of the affective force of the bombs. And Chapter Three is a criticism of the current national anti-war strategy and concludes with a brief suggestion on a new paradigm – affectivism – that recenters a politics of resistance on deploying minor knowledge to produce new potentialities. Each one of the three elements of the triad, the disciplinary technology of pacification, the form of the concrete assemblage, and schematically mapping the topography of lines of force, are crucial components to the political analytics. ii Dedication For Tristan iii Acknowledgements The idea for the thesis began while preparing for the National Debate Tournament in 2006.

  • Political Process, Activism, and Health Dissertation
    POLITICAL PROCESS, ACTIVISM, AND HEALTH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Anne E. Haas, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Vincent Roscigno, Advisor Professor Timothy Curry ________________________ Professor Steven Lopez Sociology Graduate Program ABSTRACT Conventional women are saturated with mass media images depicting very thin, attractive women. These images impose ideals that are impossible for most women to meet in a healthy way. This study examines the substantive issue of women's body appearance, aging, and related health outcomes, including eating disorders, and how these might be mediated and improved by activist political process. Concepts from social movements and social-psychological perspectives are integrated into what I call the political process model—a model that delineates how activists become socialized and immersed in alternative political networks that influence subsequent activities, ideas, and identities. I use this model to test the ability of activists to sustain commitment to their causes, including those that relate to women’s bodies, over time. The process that connects the concepts in this model (i.e., pivotal events, collective identity, pivotal departures, empowerment, and health) provides the conceptual framework to which my analytic strategy derives. I address four research expectations using triangulated quantitative and qualitative methods, and draw original data sources. Original survey data on female activists and non-activists are used to test whether the two groups differ in their politics, daily routines, and several dimensions of health (e.g., use of conventional versus non-conventional medical care, eating habits, etc.).

  • Coalition Dissolution, Mobilization, and Network Dynamics in the U.S
    COALITION DISSOLUTION, MOBILIZATION, AND NETWORK DYNAMICS IN THE U.S. ANTIWAR MOVEMENT Michael T. Heaney and Fabio Rojas ABSTRACT Coalition formation and dissolution are integral parts of social movement politics. This article addresses two questions about the effect of coalition politics on organizational processes within social movements. First, how does coalition leadership influence who attends mass demonstrations? Second, how does the dissolution of a coalition affect the locations of organizations in activist networks? The case of schism between United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) in the contemporary American antiwar movement (2001–2007) is examined. Survey results demonstrate that variations in coalition leadership do not significantly affect protest demographics, though they do attract supporters with different political attitudes, levels of commitment, and organizational affiliations. Further, network analysis establishes that coalition dissolution weakens the ties between previous coalition partners and creates opportunities for actors uninvolved in the split to reaffirm and improve brokerage opportunities. The end result is that preexisting network structures serve to mitigate the effects of coalition dissolution on social movements.

HEANEY AND FABIO ROJAS When public approval of President George W. Bush’s handling of the Iraq War stood at an unprecedented low in September 2005, the American antiwar movement seized the opportunity to get out its message.1 The nation’s two leading grassroots antiwar coalitions – United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) – formed a grand coalition to sponsor a march in Washington, DC, on September 24, 2005.

  • Martha Rosler
    MARTHA ROSLER 1. A good number of artists and students I know have in one way or another opposed the present war. Before it began, in the summer of 2002, the art, litera- ture, and activist communities came together by the hundreds, if not thousands, and spurred the formation of the activist coalition group United for Peace and Justice. A group calling itself Not in Our Name issued a statement in opposition to the war both online and in print (including full-page ads in newspapers such as the New York Times, with an impressive number of signatories from the arts and lit- erature). Numerous public meetings were held by those in the visual arts, as well as poets, writers, and theater people. Literary groups organized antiwar readings and performances with celebrity headliners, including events at Lincoln Center and other public halls in New York. The activist group Artists Against the War (of which I am a founding member) formed in this context. Many young artists, art students, and others interested in symbolic actions and interventions took part in antiwar activities, from writing graffiti and postering to street theater and perfor- mance, as well as joining marches and vigils and engaging in civil disobedience. Many were also involved politically during the election season of 2004, especially during the huge demonstrations protesting the Republican National Convention in New York, when people in the institutional categories you mention are most likely to have joined in. The most effective action, to my mind, is always the street demonstration and march—especially if it is very large or neighborhood-based and frequent.
