Protests galvanize collective action and shared identities but are also fraught with tensions that can undermine the social movements involved. In such contexts, social groups and their leaderships present themselves, or else are represented as cohesive, as if they were the expression of pre-constituted harmonics entities, but this cannot be taken at face value. Shared goals and unity of action sometimes result from painstaking negotiations—even plain threat and enforcement—to overcome disagreements and tensions that can ultimately lead to ruptures and exclusions.
The aim of Conflicts in conflict is to problematise the building of collective action in contexts of social and political conflict by delving into the tensions and cleavages experienced by people engaging in protest through history. The idea is not to highlight factional struggles but rather to better understand the conditions in which shared aims and strategies were constructed and the processes that led to it.
