Title: Movement of Movements: Culture Moves in the Long Civil Rights Struggle.
Authors: Isaac, Larry
Source: Social Forces. Sep2008, Vol. 87 Issue 1, p33-63. 31p.
Subjects: Civil rights movements, Cultural production, United States social conditions, Social change, Collective memory, Social movements, Twentieth century
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: In what way do movements move? What do we mean by the movement of movements? While still a rather unconventional stance, I advance the argument that social movements are, at root, culture production agents. Regardless of whatever else they may accomplish, movements produce new cultural forms in the course of struggle; they often change and augment cultural stock in the process, and sometimes live on for generations in collective memory. My answer to the query follows a movement-centered production and circulation of culture template organized around several major moments of culture moves: moving across space, moving emotions, moving social-cultural conditions and moving through memory. I illustrate culture moves in these four moments using sociological and historical studies of the long civil rights movement, suggesting a variety of research agendas along the way.
