Language: English

The effects of cultural fields upon the mobilization, trajectory and outcomes of social movements remains largely unexplored theoretical terrain. The concept of cultural field provides the conceptual space in which to think about the extent to which a common cultural logic permeates a given society and affects behavior, processes and events. Here we apply this line of inquiry to the study of social movements
