“…conceive it as a new global movement phenomenon (Castells, 2012;Gerbaudo, 2012;Mason, 2013), classified as 'occupy social movements' (Tejerina et al, 2013) or 'new new social movements' (Langman, 2013). The question that arises is how different these types of recent movements really are from previous mobilisations.…”

The apparent ubiquity of protest in recent years and the rise of Occupy movements across the world have fuelled claims that a new style of mobilisation is emerging which is markedly different from previous social movements. Analysing a series of original survey data, this article engages with this debate by providing a panoramic account of how the anti-austerity movement evolved in Greece, comparing the drivers of protest in three distinct protest waves. Contrary to expectations, the rise of the Greek version of the Indignados during 2011 did not decisively transform the anti-austerity movement that emerged in 2010, which mainly displayed characteristics typically associated with 'old' social movements. However, elements of the 'new social movements' approach featured more prominently in the third wave of protest, beginning in mid-2012 and culminating in January 2015 with victory for SYRIZA, the party which channelled the anti-austerity movement into the political scene. The model developed to study protest in non-electoral arenas also performs well to explain the success of SYRIZA in the electoral arena, highlighting the reciprocal but understudied relationship between mobilisation and electoral politics.

“…A prática coletiva de ocupar e subverter os usos do espaço, interrompendo, por vários dias ou semanas consecutivas, as rotinas e disposições habituais, é uma constante destes movimentos, em que o direito à cidade se torna num pressuposto básico do direito a formas alternativas de fazer política (Tejerina et al, 2013), no sentido definido por H. Lefebvre (2012Lefebvre ( [1968). Deste modo se produziram novas espacialidades, reconvertendo as funções e usos habituais de maneira a transformar sítios de passagem e de circulação em locais de fixação.…”

O objetivo central deste artigo é desenvolver uma interpretação e uma compreensão do fenómeno político-social da austeridade nas suas relações com a instauração de um regime social de existência precária que se abateu, a partir de 2008, sobre Portugal e alguns países da Europa. Deste propósito resultam outros dois objetivos parcelares: por um lado, pretendese caracterizar este processo como um regime social da precariedade nas suas condições existenciais mais estruturais, designadamente nas suas estruturas espaciotemporais; por outro, identificar os meios político-económicos pelos quais essas condições foram sendo instauradas, a partir de uma modificação profunda da vida social das populações. Analisar-se-ão as formas de desinstitucionalização decorrentes da implementação dos programas de austeridade e o seu impacto num conjunto de esferas sociais: na depreciação e desvalorização da atividade do trabalho, na incerteza da vivência espaciotemporal, no exercício da racionalidade no contexto da ação humana. Por fim, mostra-se como posicionamentos políticos de oposição à austeridade tendem a fundar a sua ação política subvertendo as condições espaciotemporais que a austeridade procura impor.Palavras-chave: austeridade, ideologia política, teoria social, trabalho Teoría social de la austeridad: para una crítica del proceso de precarización El objetivo central de este artículo es desarrollar una interpretación y una comprensión del fenómeno político-social de la austeridad en sus relaciones con la instauración de un régimen social de existencia precaria, que se cernió a partir de 2008 sobre Portugal y algunos países de Europa.

“…This cosmopolitan feminist activism is currently mobilizing feminists around the world to transform the paradoxical situation of women: Although they have mobilized in every corner of the globe and their influence is visible everywhere to some degree, numerous inequalities have not disappeared and some have even increased, because since September 2001, neoliberalism, militarism, terror and fundamentalism have increased in the world [78]. Creating solidarity within differences and for some organizations, adopting the intersectionality approach as a normative framework and guideline for action [79,80], feminists have organized to safeguard the 1990s' achievements in promoting feminist agendas at the global level.…”

This study questions the "clash of civilizations" thesis. Referring to the cosmopolitanization process as defined by Beck and Sznaider (2010), I analyze the cosmopolitanization of feminism, that is, the gradual recognition of "the others' others", the women, through the evolution of their political rights-the right to elect and be elected-at a global level. In this context, the descriptive representation of women, their substantive representation, and their voices within civil society in the North and the South highlight the fact that feminism is undergoing a process of cosmopolitanization, albeit in a slow and sporadic way. I present this argument from a postcolonial feminist perspective and base my research on NGOs' data and on data provided by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN-Women. First, I analyze the cosmpolitanization process as applied to feminism. Then, following Beck and Sznaider (2010), I describe how this process is articulated 'from above' (top-down cosmopolitanization), referring to electoral data from around the world and to international law. Further, I relate to the cosmopolitanization of feminism 'from below', referring to feminist theories, cyberfeminism and the global civil/feminist society. In conclusion, I discuss the common future of feminism and cosmopolitanism.
