size=4>In 2011, protests across the globe placed social movements at the heart
of media attention: from the Arab uprisings to the Occupy movements and the
Spanish <I>indignados</I> (the ‘outraged’), the world seemed caught on a wave of
rebellion. Protests against austerity policies and claims for democratic
participation have increased since the beginning of the financial crisis in
2008. Accordingly, academic interest in the study of social movements and
protests has grown, in particular with regards to the role of social and mobile
media, or the problem of violence and political repression. This one-day
conference will engage with the politics of protest from a methodological
perspective, focusing on the challenges, advantages and pitfalls of personal
testimony and oral history sources in research on social movements and
contentious politics at large. </FONT></SPAN></P><SPAN

size=4>The conference builds on an interdisciplinary seminar held at the
University of Warwick in February 2011, entitled ‘<I>Challenging dominant
discourses of the past</I><SPAN>: 1968 and the value of oral history’. The
proceedings of this seminar - recently published in the journal <I>Memory
Studies </I>(Vol. 6.1) - will be presented during the conference which, however,
extends the focus of research beyond the 1960s and 1970s. It also seeks to
explore case studies from different geographical areas, at a local, national and
global level, and representative of various forms and goals of collective
action. Hence it is not limited to anti-authoritarian and anti-austerity
politics alone. Its aim is to bring together</SPAN> researchers of both
historical and contemporary social movements coming from a variety of
disciplines (history, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, memory studies,
etc), on the one hand, and scholars of contentious politics and resistance more
generally. The topic may be approached from both a practical and a thematic
angle. </FONT></SPAN></P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,serif"><FONT
