Abstract

GONZALEZ MONTERO, Sebastián Alejandro. Social Flight Lines: Transformation and Social Change. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2014, n.45, pp.115-133. ISSN 0121-5167.

The main idea of the article is that the hypothesis of the flight lines simply orients within the general problem of the diffuse resistances. We maintain that the approach to the question of how societies change and transform depends on narrowing the research field beyond the rejection phenomena, non-conformity and collective divergence. From that point of view the article distinguishes among: i) the campaigns whose collective effort moves to the political claims; ii) the coalitions in the public meetings, rallies, manifestations, requests or declarations, solemn processions and watches ; iii) the social innovation phenomena. The idea is to show that one can consider the social movements in the context of decisive situations of radical transformation of the social experience, which allows us to get a rich definition that exceeds the problem of popular activism and the fight for the political transformation of the State. In the end, the article turns the philosophical hypothesis of the flight lines into a general a sociological orientation that should serve like work hypothesis in practical research.

Keywords : Social Flight Lines; Social Movements; Deviation Sociology.
