SUMMARY:Mass Mobilisations between the Return of Students Protests and New Forms of Digital Protest - Positioning Southeast Asia in Social Movement Studies (1)
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:In recent years, Southeast Asia has witnessed a renewed cycle o
 f social mobilisation. While some developments echo earlier waves of activi
 sm—most notably student-led democracy movements in Thailand and Myanmar—oth
 ers point to qualitatively new forms of collective action. Phenomena such a
 s the Milk Tea Alliance, the mobilisation of K-pop fandoms, and influencer-
 driven activism highlight modes of mobilisation that are deeply embedded in
  digital platforms and shaped by their economic, technical, and algorithmic
  logics.\nThese mobilisations challenge established understandings of socia
 l movements. They employ platform-specific organisational forms and protest
  repertoires that draw heavily on commercial pop culture and often exhibit 
 fluid or ambiguous political positioning. At the same time, they coexist an
 d intersect with more “traditional” movements, raising questions about cont
 inuity, hybridity, and transformation in contemporary activism.\nThis panel
  explores how insights from Southeast Asian social movements can contribute
  to broader debates in social movement studies and advance efforts to decen
 tre and globalise the field. Two guiding questions structure the discussion
 : how can social movements in Southeast Asia be integrated into broader fra
 meworks of social movement knowledge, and how can context-sensitive concept
 s and theoretical insights be developed from Southeast Asian cases?\nGiven 
 that dominant theories of social movements remain largely grounded in Euro-
 American experiences, Southeast Asia offers rich empirical and analytical p
 otential. The region’s diverse histories of mobilisation—from anti-colonial
  and pro-democracy struggles to labour, environmental, women’s, LGBTIQ+, fa
 r-right, and digitally mediated movements—invite a critical reassessment of
  claims to universality.\nBy foregrounding Southeast Asian experiences, thi
 s panel aims to identify alternative pathways of mobilisation and to refine
  or challenge established theoretical frameworks. In doing so, it seeks to 
 contribute to a more inclusive, plural, and genuinely global social movemen
 t studies.
