“…This approach defines frames as the schemata used by social movements to interpret the world out there and boost mobilisation by fulfilling three main tasks: diagnosis to establish the undesirable situation; prognosis to describe the desirable future and the means for advancing towards it; motivational to offer the motives that work as prods for action (Snow and Benford, 1988). Concurrently, other approaches have developed alternative or complementary perspectives of discourse analysis, for example from a Foucauldian perspective (Sandberg, 2006;Baumgarten and Ullrich, 2016).…”

This thesis is concerned with the social mobilisation in Spain provoked by the financial crisis which started in 2008. Specifically, the thesis analyses the intersections of the housing movement with some political coalitions that won many municipalities in 2015. It does so to explain the dynamics that lead to the creation of a "space of activism" capable of opposing the capitalist organisation of space.

European societies have been confronted with rapid social and cultural transformation, which took on a new magnitude with the "long summer of migration" in 2015.In general, the perceptions and experiences of change never go uncontested; change gives rise to conflicts and struggles over collective identities, policy, and legal responses. International migration flows and related issues such as asylum and the deportation of non-citizens have grown into one of Europe's most controversial and politicized topics. Political parties campaign on these issues, but there is also political protest articulated by movements, activists, grassroots organizations and ordinary citizens. These acts of resistance are gaining in qualitative and quantitative importance. They include voices for more liberal and open stances towards migration on the one hand, and voices calling for greater deterrents and coercive policy approaches on the other (Daphi 2016; Simsa 2017).However, although it has recently intensified, this contestation from below is by no means new. As early as the 1980s, migrants, citizens, and advocacy groups were siding with migrants and asylum seekers, promoting inclusion and legal and social rights. The same is true for the right-wing groups acting collectively against immigrants and asylum seekers, marching in cities, attacking accommodation centers, and petitioning for stricter asylum regulations towards newcomers. In short, there is a history of political protest around migration, which has intervened in political processes, challenged representative authorities, and affected public debate and policymaking (Kriesi 2011;Caiani and Borri 2016;Cinalli 2016).Research on political protest and contestation in areas like migration, asylum, and deportation constitutes a growing academic field. More recently, anti-deportation campaigns as well as migrant struggles and refugee activism have received a great deal of scholarly attention
