“…Therefore, the radical nature of the mobilization in the summer of 2003 (with the cancelation of many festivals) can be explained by the state abandoning its traditional support to the mobilized groups and its desire to validate the agreement (protocol of 26 June 2003). The political leanings of the government led by Jean-Pierre Raffarin and the need to get the support of another union-the CFDT-in changing the pension system explain, among other elements, this strategic reversal which encouraged the mobilized groups, deprived of the usual support of the state and taking advantage of the tactical error made by the directors of the UNEDIC (changing the system before the festival season), to generalize a hitherto almost nonexistent form of action (Proust 2006b), systematically disrupting and paralyzing most festivals the very day of the signature, and practically spontaneously, groups intervened in a street theater festival on the outskirts of Rouen.…”

For the last 20 years, many mobilizations related to the contract work system that is subsidized by the general unemployment insurance system have occurred in various French artistic fields, mainly in the performing arts. They are characterized by an intense politicization which can be explained by the role of the state in these fields. On the one hand, state intervention suspends the rules of the market economy. On the other hand, the state is one of the main users of the unemployment insurance system which externalizes labor costs. Politicization is also based on the limited resources of the mobilized groups. Thus, these groups promote permanent media coverage of their fights in order to force the political leaders to speak out in their support. Politicization has also led these groups to try to destroy the political capital of some Ministers of Culture. In conclusion, the present work emphasizes that the artists' demand for the state, which relies on the will to increase aesthetic autonomy, may eventually lead to the opposite situation, the artists becoming dependent on political constraints they do not master.Since the beginning of the 1980s, one of the main factors which have contributed to the development of cultural policies and the provision of culture in France has been the contract work system as defined by appendixes VIII and X of the general unemployment insurance system (UNEDIC). The professionals concerned fall within a special legal system that escapes from the Int J Polit Cult Soc (2010) 23:113-126

“…Failures play the same role, as they also give information about the context (especially about the balance of power against the antagonist, that is often but not always the state) and offer examples that must not be followed. Proust (2006) showed that the determination of the French entertainment workers (intermittents du spectacle) in 2003 was a product of the recent teachers' movement, whose failure was attributed to insufficient fighting spirit. It can be noted that this comprehensive and situational approach joins some of the criticisms that have been addressed to the concept of political opportunity structure (e.g.…”

The article defines the concept of space of social movements, that describes the relatively autonomous microcosm of practice and meaning in which contentious mobilizations are linked by various relations of interdependence (e.g. inspiration, alliance, competition and conflict). By socially locating protest activities, the concept helps to understand the internal dynamics of the relationships between multiple movements and the relations the space of social movements maintains with other microcosms, such as the political and trade union fields. It also helps to analyze the practical aspects of contentious activities, as acting in the space of social movements requires from its members the control of some knowledge and skills that are acquired during a specific socialization process. The presentation of the concept is based on the analysis of French social movements from 1968 to 2010, and introduces a discussion of some of the main concepts of sociology of collective protest and of social differentiation, and especially Bourdieu's field theory.

“…La réussite n'est de ce point de vue pas seule à exercer une influence : les échecs donnent eux aussi des indications sur l'état du contexte (et notamment sur l'état du rapport de force qui oppose aux autorités) et fournissent sur le plan tactique des sortes d'« exemples à ne pas suivre ». Serge Proust a ainsi montré combien la « radicalité » du mouvement des intermittents du spectacle de l'été 2003 est un produit du précédent du mouvement contre la réforme des retraites, dont l'échec a été attribué à une insuffisante combativité 16 . On notera au passage que cette approche situationnelle et compréhensive rejoint les récentes révisions de la théorie des opportunités politiques.…”
