  • 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.
