＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

For the past few years， sporadic movements of protest with minimal organization have emerged yet grown rapidly thanks to social networks. In this way we have seen the Occupy movement， the so-called ‘Arab Spring，’ the revolt of youth， and the transformation of the Spanish protest movement into a more political organization.Is this a new form of civil society，or just the expression of revolts without durable effects?　
　
The aim of this course is to ask questions about these new types of mobilization – their forms， objectives， composition， etc – in relation to the demands addressed to governments， to corporations and to global society. Our hypothesis is that these movements， while having the form of civil disobedience， take the concept of democracy seriously and we can think that they will have reel effects on the relation of individuals to politics and the demand for more democracy.　

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

This course seeks to offer tools to think about these new types of movement by re-examining the limits of classical theories of civil society and the public sphere. It equally seeks to offer students the opportunity to form a proper academic conception of these phenomena via an historic and diachronic approach which resituates them in a global democratic context.
