5th ISA Forum of Sociology (6-11 July 2025)

This is Part 1 of the Joint Session of the ISA Research Committees on Futures Research (RC07), Social Classes and Social Movements (RC47), and Social Movements, Collective Actions and Social Change (RC48). This Session presents papers that address questions such as: How do social movements navigate the turbulences of multipolar globalization, ecological crises, AI and rapidly changing media interfaces? How do they challenge the codes of the Anthropocene, engage with anticipatory modes of governance, and form new political subjectivities amidst neoliberal templates? How are visions, tactics, and strategies adapting to the new constellation? What roles do assumptions about the future play in struggles over hegemony, and how are these assumptions being shaped? How do social movements construct long-term visions, strategies, and the solidarities that nourish these? How do they reshape authority, agency, and resonance?
