Four Types of Social Movements
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Aberle's four movement types cross two axes: locus of change (individual vs. supra-individual) and amount of change (partial vs. total) — alternative, redemptive, reformative, transformative.
Show
Losing weight through diet is alternative; a religious conversion is redemptive; one new policy is reformative; remaking society is transformative.
Watch for
A movement's aim can shift over its lifespan; reformative goals can radicalize into transformative demands.
