Offered at De Montfort University Leicester, this course (MEDS3515) explores the re-emergence of global social/protest movement.

Assessments for MED3515

Assignment One (ESS 1): Produce a plan (500 – 800 words) for an in-depth report that demonstrates engagement with the visual, discursive and rhetorical representation of a major protest event (see Assignment Two). Indicate which textual material you have chosen, the conceptual approach you will make, and the methods that will be applied to the texts.

Assignment Two (REP2): Produce a report that demonstrates engagement with the visual, discursive and rhetorical representation of a major protest event, assembling material from a wide variety of media outlets, including that produced by mainstream news institutions (terrestrial and cable TV channels, newspapers, magazines, etc.). Sources can include publicity material created by protestors and online sites (including social media forms and ‘alternative’ news organisations) that promote, denigrate or analyse the event. Produce an informed analysis of the techniques used to create particular narratives relating to the occasion.

Course Description for MED3515

Global Dissent is a 15 Credit module devoted to the study of a highly visible (mediated) phenomenon – the re-emergence of global social/protest movements. The module will address the growth and impact of these eruptions (both within the context of economic ‘austerity’, and with reference to social, cultural and historical manifestations of dissent), paying particular attention to the use of traditional and social media forms to represent the goals of the protestors, and the process of individual and collective identification that accompanies this process.

The module will address the existence of both trans-national political movements and supposedly more ‘subjective’ forms of resistance, including campaign groups formed to fight all forms of discrimination (on the grounds of sexuality, disability, race/ethnicity, etc.), and those devoted to recovering the public memory of past injustices. Older formations share one outstanding feature with their counterparts in the ‘new’ protest movements: the fact that they articulate dissatisfaction with formal political systems, and with those individuals and institutional groups often described as ‘elite social actors’. Various methods of analysis will be used in order to interrogate the systems of oppression and the nuances of compliance and resistance that are supposed to characterise the relationship between dominant and subaltern social forces.

Questions addressed will include what methods of textual and ‘events-based’ analysis might best produce an informed reading of ‘mediated conflict’, the behaviour of institutional authority, and the social relationships accomplished in different kinds of communicative action. Critical attention will be given to the concept of ‘dominant’ ideology and key perspectives will be taken from theories of protest, ‘neo-liberal’ capitalism, and mediation.

Other issues to be addressed within the study will include:

  1. how protestors articulate their goals within the public spheres
  2. how forms of authority attempt to represent or control oppositional groups;
  3. what methods of critical analysis (semiotic, social semiotic, dialogic, CDA, discursive, multi-modal, comparative, thematic) might best produce an informed and intelligent reading of protest events and the textual material associated with them.

Course Structure for MEDS3515

This module is delivered within two components; the first is a lecture slot of anything up to two hours, the second is a seminar of an hour, meaning that each student ‘attends’ for three hours per week.

Lectures are delivered online, and seminars take place on Thursdays, at 10am and 12noon respectively.

This module introduces

  • the concepts of dissent, protest, resistance, capitalism, neoliberalism and theories of the state, together with
  • ideas about discourse, address, mediation, behaviour and the circulation of meaning

Critical perspectives will be taken from a number of traditions.

The course encourages students to apply the insights gained in the module to their own reading of texts and their own overview of events

Seminars will concentrate on guidance and interpretation, while students will supply their own examples of protest events

Concept/debates/issues

Dissent, Protest, Resistance (‘Reactive’, ‘Primacy of’), Intersectionality, the State (Neoliberal, Information, Secret, ‘Deep’, Security, ‘Insecurity’, Patriarchal, ‘Protective’, Insurgent, etc), Capitalism (Digital, Surveillance, Platform, Disaster, etc), Populism, Nationalism, Feminism, Socialism (‘International’, State, ‘Labourist’, Feminist), Liberalism, Communism (Council, Libertarian, Authoritarian), Anti-Fascism (Bourgeois, Radical) Patriarchy, Class, Neoliberalism, Address, Event, Authority, Hierarchy, Discourse, Ideology (‘Dominant’, Structural, Mediation, Managerialism, Truth-Claims, Coercion, Consent, Identity, Citizenship, Structure, Timeliness, Periodicity, Rhetoric, Climate Emergency, Identity, Security, Gender and Transgender, Trade Unionism, Industrial Unionism, Syndicalism.

Aim

The module aims are to provide an in-depth study of dissent and its structural relationship to formal authority, in order to establish a firm understanding of the types of conflict that predominate within contemporary political culture.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the module, students will be able to:

  1. Identify the main attributes of global social movements as bodies committed to various forms of social, cultural, economic and political change;
  2. Gain a thorough understanding of the individual and collective forms of identification associated with membership of such groups;
  3. Critically analyse the mediation of protest events, considering the political frames which a range of social actors apply to public occasions;
  4. Apply the methodological and theoretical principles associated with critical analysis to specific case studies.

Assessments

Assignment One (ESS 1): Produce a plan (500 – 800 words) for an in-depth report that demonstrates engagement with the visual, discursive and rhetorical representation of a major protest event (see Assignment Two).Indicate which textual material you have chosen, the conceptual approach you will make, and the methods that will be applied to the texts.

Assignment Two (REP2): Produce a report that demonstrates engagement with the visual, discursive and rhetorical representation of a major protest event, assembling material from a wide variety of media outlets, including that produced by mainstream news institutions (terrestrial and cable TV channels, newspapers, magazines, etc.).

Lectures for MEDS3515

Week 15 – Cinematic Texts: Power, Class, Gender and Resistance

With reference to a number of recent science-fiction movies, this lecture examines popular conceptions of class oppression and resistance, in which the protagonist emerges from an extremely volatile working-class community, encountering or entering the world of a privileged elite responsible for keeping its subordinates in a state of abject poverty. Does this Dystopian vision of the future provide an accurate model of contemporary class relations, or does the emphasis on masculine endeavour (so noticeable in these films), perpetuate a retrogressive myth about gendered relations and identity? In the ‘neo-liberal’ social order, are people pushed back into protecting the individual self, and away from a collective sense of community? Texts will include Children of Men, In Time, and Elysium.

Key Concepts

  • power
  • class
  • resistance
  • individuality
  • gendered identity
  • patriarchy

Dissent Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield International Neocleous, M (2014) ‘Introduction’, in War Power, Police Power Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press

SEMINAR: This will include a detailed description of the assignments – the essay and the research report – which students are required to produce. For next week, students must identify a narrative that is based upon the theme of class conflict, taken from a news-based source.

Week 16 – Class, Culture and ‘Intersectional’ Resistance

This lecture examines expressions of cultural ‘resistance’ and class identity, expressed through the organisation of popular public events. To what extent does the creation of music events establish a sense of identity and community? Examples will be taken from a variety of events, both domestic and overseas.

Key Concepts

  • resistance
  • class
  • culture
  • community
  • identity
  • intersectionality

SEMINAR:

Students will identify their own examples of intersectional principles applied in protest movements, gleaned from news forms: students will also provide evidence of work produced for the Plan (Assignment One)

Week 17 -‘Collateral Benefits’ and the ‘International Community’: discursive realignment after the fall of Kabul

“Western society [sighs] … they showed us a beautiful, beautiful world … and suddenly they abandoned us … the West does certain things to the point it serves them … human rights, women’s rights, were a pretext for the invasion”. Shafiqa, poet and children’s author.

[BBC 15 August, 2021].

“I think people simply don’t understand – we weren’t in Afghanistan to do a favour for the people of Afghanistan. They eer got considerable collateral benefits from our presence”.

John Bolton, US National Security Advisor 2018-2019 [BBC 16 August, 2021].

“It may well be the case that [the Taleban] do want to cooperate with the international community … but they will only be legitimate if they are prepared to govern in an inclusive way, and to respect human rights, erm particularly the human rights of women, girls, and minorities”.

General Sir Nick Carter, Chief of the UK Defence staff [BBC 28 August, 2021].

This lecture addresses the shifting referential assumptions that – after the fall of Kabul – were grafted onto the concept ‘international community’. As Gross noted in 2009, “the predominant discourse on Afghanistan [had] focussed on military and political commitments among Western actors … rather than a concern with engaging ‘the international community’ ” (79).

SEMINAR:

Students will present work written for the Introduction to the first assignment.

Week 18 – UK Universities during Covid-19: catastrophic management, ‘business continuity’, and education workers

This lecture will analyse the 2020 sector-wide HE action against casualisation, excessive workloads and gender/pay inequality, and how this activity was with a particular focus on the demands made on university staff to conduct face to face teaching. Reference will be made to the 2011 student movement (against tuition fees), where a resurgence of the occupation tactic was evident. Historical reference will include the student protests of 1968 and 1977, in order to offer a critical comparison with the context of Higher Education in its contemporary ‘commodified’ form.

Key Concepts

  • The Foucauldian ‘Primacy of Resistance’ Thesis
    • Student/Worker solidarity
    • Recomposition of the Managerial ‘class’
    • Strikes

Week 19 – Cultures of Resistance

This lecture examines how the mainstream media in Brazil portrays favelas (unregulated low-income neighbourhoods) in a negative light. This has been the case since their emergence over a century ago. The lecture examines the contemporary representation of the favelas in the established media, discussing how this partial representation impacts issues of identity and social segregation, the legitimation of structural violence in those sites, and providing an account of the recent emergence of digital social networks as “counter-publics”.

Key Concepts

  • counter-publics
  • authority
  • order
  • disorder
  • representation
  • resistance

Recorded/Parallel – The Million Mask March: language, legitimacy, and dissent

This lecture examines emerging trends in protest management in the UK, looking predominantly at the 5th November 2015 demonstrations led by hacktivist collective Anonymous. This event can be considered unique on a number of fronts. First, the common terminology used by police to justify the use of undercover operatives and aggressive forms of crowd control was conspicuously absent from public discourse surrounding the event. Secondly, conventional media channels throughout the UK focused on the London campaign and all but failed to cover the wider national/international demonstrations – thus depicting London itself as an isolated incident. Thirdly, the Million Mask March was a significant moment in civil history, for behind the scenes much of the policing effort was taking place online, with covert agencies manipulating mainstream coverage of the event to discredit campaigners, disrupt a legitimate public protest, and deny participants their right to dissent..

SEMINAR: analysing online texts

This seminar will be devoted to final work on the first assignment.

Week 20 – Protests and Revolutions

The lecture, drawn from perspectives developed by Dr Jenifer Chao and Dr Gil Pasternak, considers the relationship between photography and various forms of large-scale public protests, ranging from labour strikes to political uprisings and revolutions.

Included in the discussion: May Day marches, May ’37 in Barcelona, the Women’s Suffrage Movement, Occupy, Occupy Hong Kong, the Arab Spring, and the revolutionary alliance between the Black Panthers and the Young Patriots. The lecture will identify the visual politics behind the representations of these activities.

Week 21 – Class, Race, Gender and the Postcolonial

This lecture will be devoted to the analysis of class and ethnicity within contemporary British society and culture, with reference to theories of post-coloniality and identity.

Week 23 – Insurrection! The Capitol Riot of January 2021: Material/Symbolic Political Activity

This illustrated paper interrogates the discursive framework within which the Capitol incursion of 6 January 2021 was presented. It argues that the predominant framing of the event by ‘mainstream’ liberal US/UK media – as an ‘insurrection’, an assault on ‘the seat of democracy’, and even as a form of ‘domestic terrorism’ – reinforced the notion that the democratic order and its supposed adherence to Truth, was somehow fragile and in need of reconstruction.

Key Concepts

insurrection democracy  category news  authority o protest

Week 24 – The Meaning of May ’37: class, war and revolution in Barcelona

This lecture analyses an event that goes to the heart of debates about democracy, ‘bourgeois’ culture, and revolution: the internecine conflict that erupted within the Spanish Republican camp, during the Civil War of 1936-1939. This collision, between (on the one hand), working-class organisations belonging to the CNT, Mujeres Libres, the POUM and the Friends of Durruti, and on the other the UGT, the Catalan nationalists, the Stalinist Communists, and the police forces of the Generalitat, is described in George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia and texts like Low and Brea’s Red Spanish Notebook.

Harvard Referencing System

This guide is intended to provide you with advice on how to use the Harvard (author-date) system where you supply the author’s name and the date of publication of the document referred to within the text. In order to find out more about the document a reader can simply look up the author’s name in the reference list.

Collecting and organising references

It is often not easy (or possible) to retrieve sources after you have written your text. For this reason it is best to keep a good record of everything you use. Reference management software, such as RefWorks, EndNote, Mendeley or Zotero, will help you organise your references according to different citation systems and to add the citations to your text.

Alternatively, you could store your references on index cards. For further information about reference management and help in using RefWorks, please see our reference management guide at: http://libguides.library.dmu.ac.uk/referencing.

A note about dates and page numbers

If no date can be established you can use n.d. e.g. Webb (n.d.) If the date can be established but only approximately you should use c. e.g. Webb (c.2012)

Electronic books read via an e-reader such as the Kindle do not have traditional page numbers. In this case, use the chapter numbers instead for indicating the location of a quoted section:

If you wish to cite a web resource that does not include page numbers, you can include any of the following in the text to cite the quotation:

e.g.   Jones (2011, chapter 6) states that

A paragraph number, if provided; alternatively, you could count paragraphs down from the beginning of the document:

An overarching heading plus a paragraph number within that section:

A short title in quotation marks, in cases in which the heading is too unwieldy to cite in full:

e.g.   British Medical Association (2012, para. 2) states that..e.g. NHS (2012, Migraines, para. 3) states that..e.g.

NHS (2012, Risks section, ‘Driving and mobile phones’) states that..

2. Citations in the text

All ideas taken from another source regardless of whether directly quoted or paraphrased must be referenced in the text of your assignment. To link the information you use in your text to its source (book, article, etc.), put the author’s name and the year of publication at the appropriate point in your text. If the author’s name does not naturally occur in your writing, put the author’s surname and date in brackets.

So if the author’s name is James Robert Jones, you would use the surname Jones and the date to cite in the text.

e.g.  There is some evidence (Jones, 2012) that these figures are incorrect. If the author’s name is part of the statement, put only the year in brackets:

e.g.  Jones (2012) has provided evidence that these figures are incorrect. If there are two or three authors, give all:

Note: if you are giving a direct quotation then you need to include the page number. If there are more than three authors, cite only the first followed by ‘et al.’ (which means ‘and others’):

If an author has published more documents in the same year, distinguish between them by adding lower-case letters:

Secondary referencing

When an author quotes or cites another author and you wish to cite the original author you should first try to trace the original item. However, if this is not possible, you must acknowledge both sources in the text, but only include the item you actually read in your reference list.

Then cite Jones in full in your reference list. Information found in more than one source

If you find information in more than one source, you may want to include all the references to strengthen your argument. In this case, cite all sources in the same brackets, placing them in order of publication date (earliest first). Separate the references using a semi-colon (;).

e.g.  It is claimed that government in the information age will “work better and cost less” (Bellamy and Taylor, 1998, 41).

e.g.  …adoptive parents were coping better with the physical demands of parenthood and found family life more enjoyable (Levy et al., 1991).

e.g.  In recent studies by Smith (2013a, 2013b, 2013c)..e.g.

If Jones discusses the work of Smith you could use: Smith (2012) as cited by Jones (2013) or Smith’s 2012 study (cited in Jones, 2013) shows that..e.g. Several writers (Jones, 2011; Biggs, 2012; Smith, 2013) argue …

Reference List/Bibliography

Full references of sources used should be listed as a reference list at the end of your work. This list of references is arranged alphabetically usually by author. You may also be required by your tutor to include a bibliography which should list not only all items used within the text but also any other sources you have read as part of your research. Examples of these can be found at the end of journal articles or books (but might not be in Harvard style).

Example of a Reference List

ASHTON, F. (1948) Cinderella. [Royal Opera House, London, 13th January 2004]. CHAN, T.M. (2011) Three problems about dynamic convex hulls. In: Proceedings of the 27th Annual

Symposium on Computational Geometry, Paris, June 2011. New York: ACM, pp. 27-37. MAIMON, D. and BROWNING, C.R. (2012) Adolescents’ violent victimization in the neighbourhood: situational and contextual determinants. British journal of criminology, 52 (4), pp. 808-833.

MALTZMAN, R. and SHIRLEY, D. (c.2011) Green project management. London: CRC Press. Whenever possible, elements of a bibliographical reference should be taken from the title page of the publication or from the library catalogue. Each reference should give the elements and punctuation as found below.

Authors should always be in capitals, followed by the date in brackets. In the following examples, the source (e.g. title) has been italicised; you can also emphasise the source by underlining or typing in bold. It does not usually matter which you use, so long as you are consistent throughout your reference list.

If the author is James Robert Jones this will become JONES, J.R. Abdul- Rahman Al-Haddad would be AL-HADDAD, A. If there is no author use ANONYMOUS.
