“…The processes of transnational movement culture diffusion are much less immediate or Debunking spontaneity 9 spontaneous than many accounts would suggest. Research shows that new practices must be adapted to local and national cultural repertoires through processes of cultural translation (Doerr, 2009) and are by no means always successful (Wood, 2010).…”

“…Much has been made of the ability of Spanish 15-M activists to manage deliberative consensus-based assemblies of up to 5000 participants. Research on movement learning processes (Doerr, 2009;Polletta, 2002;Romanos, 2013) demonstrates that these abilities cannot be convincingly explained by commitment to principles or by transnational diffusion processes leading to the wholesale 'adoption' of practices (Wood, 2010). In fact, the effective management of large deliberative assemblies has been a key challenge of social movements in Spain over the past two decades, and the adoption of deliberative techniques has been slow and arduous, not least because of resistance from institutional left actors and the strong influence of institutional left actors on social movement cultural practices (Flesher Fominaya, 2005, 2007a.…”

“…This is based on a network of volunteers and is viewed as an essential element of the process of such meetings (Doerr 2009). FoEI meetings are much smaller -with usually only 60 or 70 people from national groups present, of whom only a small number do not have good English.…”

“…In this language of spaces of flows (Castells ) and cross‐contamination, factors that facilitate transnational networking and that transnational activists share are stressed, but with important exceptions (eg Chabot and Duyvendak ; Cumbers et al ; Doerr , ; Routledge ; Wood , ), less attention has been paid to barriers to transnationalism and to differences , particularly cultural differences between activists as important in hindering the dynamics of transnational networking (Doerr ). Such cultural factors are rarely studied empirically (Doerr ) and the role of the nation, and “place” in shaping movement subcultures is also understated (Baumgarten ).…”

“…Activists in movements such as the GJM embraced cosmopolitan narratives of inclusiveness, elasticity, porosity, and cross contamination, as well as network metaphors in which “people, actions and ideas spill from one network to another” (Cumbers et al :186), and scholars, with important exceptions (e.g. Baumgarten ; Chabot and Duyvendak ; Doerr , ; Flesher Fominaya , ; Tarrow ; Wood , ), rarely question the extent to which this is actually the case in practice.…”
