"Constituent Imagination:
Research + Resistance in the Global Justice Movement"
Over the past ten years the various tendrils of the global justice
movement have developed a multiplicity of new forms of social resistance.
From occupied factories and neighborhood assemblies in Argentina to
raucous UK street parties and Italian social centers, these new forms of
resistance and organizing have blurred, questioned, and broken down
notions of political action and organization. Far from the “end of
history” predicted in 1989, the circulation and spread of autonomous
struggles and politics worldwide has proclaimed loudly “we are
everywhere.” These forms of social protagonism are developing alternatives
to a neoliberal world in the organization of resistance, constructing new
possibilities through the constitutive power of lived imagination.

Praxis: Drama as Reflective Action for Social Transformation
Call for Contributions
Praxis has been defined as "the action and reflection of people upon their world in order to transform it" (Friere 1972) and "the act of reflectively constructing or reconstructing the social world" (Grundy 1987). Arendt (1958) described praxis as being reflective of a relationship between individuals and their wider community. What is fundamental to the concept of praxis is that it is the integration of reflection with action, or simply, it is action informed by theory, with a view to transformation of the larger social community. The nature of this interaction may be that theory transforms action, which may in turn reshape theory, and so on, in an holistic relationship. It is also essential to this concept that the individuals and/or community are empowered to decide on the changes best suited to their specific contexts, and are enabled to identify or develop the tools to effect such change.
