Les militants remplissent des demandes de permis de séjour, rédigent des réponses à des employeurs, contestent des augmentations de loyer… Ce militantisme de guichet a été peu étudié par la sociologie de l’action collective. Comment cette forme d’action s’articule-t-elle avec la défense d’une cause? En quoi transforme-t-elle les mouvements sociaux? Quel en est l’impact sur leur dimension contestataire? Cet ouvrage décline ce questionnement dans quatre domaines de l’action collective: le logement, l’aide aux personnes migrantes, le travail et les enjeux de genre, dans plusieurs pays (Suisse, France, Italie, Etats-Unis).

Esto sucede en paralelo a la radicalización de fundamentalistas religiosos con argumentarios y estrategias de acción seculares. El género y la sexualidad, su incesante producción y regulación, articulados con el racismo y el colonialismo, se sitúan en el centro de la batalla propiciando alianzas inéditas. El estudio crítico de estos entramados de radicalización de las nuevas derechas neoliberales y la politización religiosa ha conformado un campo emergente de investigación feminista donde los diálogos entre las Américas y Europa son aún incipientes.
Con este libro presentamos saberes críticos y feministas sobre lo que identificamos como la reacción patriarcal en este ecosistema autoritario donde Europa y las Américas no son compartimentos estancos. En esta misma geo- grafía, el feminismo opera como fuerza a contracorriente que suscita potencia analítica y pasión transformadora. Las reflexiones que atraviesan este libro nos proporcionan elementos para entender la actual ofensiva, tanto en sus aspectos prácticos como en sus dimensiones más teóricas. Esperamos que este análisis de las estrategias de la reacción fortalezca las alianzas y las luchas feministas.

The stress on comparison has tended to homogenize the two sides, thus understating their internal differences. This article extends beyond an analysis bounded by a movement―countermovement dichotomy. Based on ethnographic data and on the Italian case, it considers several questions that arise from revealing the intramovement divisions at various levels. First, there are tensions relating to the relationship between orthodoxy and institutionalized politics: how far, if at all, should there be doctrinal compromises in exchange for influence over public policy? Secondly, the conflicts over modes of action. In this respect, should protests be visible in public spaces, and if so how? These two issues govern the tense relationship between the Movimento per la Vita and more radical groups.

The article suggests, first, that understanding conservative movements necessitates linking their political claims to the social identities of their activists, as would be the case for any other social movement (e.g., feminism). These social identities are as complex and intersectional as any other: a white, upper-class pro-life activist is no less intersectional than a black feminist from a poor background. Concomitantly, there is no unique feminism, but rather a plurality of feminisms, a diversity that intersectionality facilitates the identification of. The same is true for pro-life movements, but scholars tend to use the singular form to talk about conservatism; in this article, I explore the use of the plural to show that pro-life women do not constitute a monolithic group. On the contrary, these women are diverse in terms of their reproductive stories, their working status, and their class, race, and sexual practices, and this diversity translates into different ways of being pro-life. Second, recognizing this complexity does not suggest a natural link between feminism and conservatism. Alternatively, I suggest that a better understanding of conservative women can only be reached if they are studied on their own terms.

The stress on comparison has tended to homogenize the two sides, thus understating their internal differences. This article extends beyond an analysis bounded by a movement―countermovement dichotomy. Based on ethnographic data and on the Italian case, it considers several questions that arise from revealing the intramovement divisions at various levels. First, there are tensions relating to the relationship between orthodoxy and institutionalized politics: how far, if at all, should there be doctrinal compromises in exchange for influence over public policy? Secondly, the conflicts over modes of action. In this respect, should protests be visible in public spaces, and if so how? These two issues govern the tense relationship between the Movimento per la Vita and more radical groups. Thirdly, the issue that divides the Movimento itself; the ongoing dialogue over the attitude to be taken towards contraception, and thus sexuality. At the heart of these intramove-ment struggles is the definition of what a 'real' pro-life movement is, and how a 'real' pro-life movement should mobilize. This article reveals a complex and highly fragmented image of the pro-life movement that, like every social movement of a certain size, is heterogeneous in its demographic composition, objectives and strategies. To show this complexity, the article adopts an emic approach that does not limit itself to a reading of conservative movements through the eyes of progressive movements. Issue This article is part of the issue " The Feminist Project under Threat in Europe " , edited by Mieke Verloo (Radboud University, The Netherlands) and David Paternotte (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium).

Starting in 2012-2013 in France against marriage equality, a wave of Catholic mobilizations rapidly spread all around Europe. Catholic organizations protested against the possible recognition (or the enforcement) of LGBT+ rights, and, later on, against the so-called ‘gender theory’. A few years later, this wave of mobilization is still in place and
gained new fuel from the electoral and political success of the extreme right, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2018, for example, Hungary banned gender studies at colleges: this testifies for a renewed public legitimacy of religious discourse in the public and political spheres. Furthermore, the development of transnational networks facilitated
the diffusion of mobilization resources and repertories of actions across countries. The 2019 World Congress of Families, organized by the International Organization for the Family to protect the ‘traditional’ family, will take place in Italy where the Minister of the family, a devoted Catholic, is openly anti-abortion.
This panel focuses on the Catholic mobilizations in Europe, to understand cross-country similarities and differences, internal organizations and claims between local actions and transnational networks, patterns of failures and successes, and alliances and opponents.
Conservative and reactionary mobilizations, very visible since 2012, tend to obscure progressive Catholics engaged, amongst others, in the Peace Movement or in the Refugees and Migrant solidarity movements but we would also like to include these groups to the analysis.
Theoretically grounded empirical papers are welcome on the following (but not exclusive) topics:
• Case studies and/or comparative analyses of Catholic mobilizations (conservative and progressive ones)
• Public and media discourse around Catholic mobilization
• Analysis of transnational networking
• Methodology papers on how to study these movements that pose specific
challenges
• Papers addressing social movements theory: what these mobilizations can bring to SM theory, which is built on non-religious mostly progressive case studies?
• How to integrate religion in Social Movement Studies? Is there a Catholic
specificity?
• Papers addressing the gendered agenda of these movements, but also their gendered organization.
