Abstract:

Existing studies of collective identity transformation, particularly those focusing on the national level, describe little about the diffusion of changes between national and local levels of a movement, beyond suggestions that changes in local organizations may filter up to national organization. However, this paper will focus on cases in which there were no precipitating incidents at the local level to explain the timing of collective identity disputes. This presentation suggests that transformations in these larger movements are diffused between national-level and local level organizations via the media and inter-movement organizing, and this transformation is uneven and highly disputed. This presentation will illustrate this process through the example of diffusion of transgender inclusion in the lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) identity movement of the early nineties.

Collective Identity Transformation From National Movements to Local Organizations: Transgender Inclusion in the LGB Movement 1990-1994 Amy Stone University of Michigan Introduction: Scholars have long acknowledged that social movement activists are constantly transforming collective identity (Polletta and Jasper 2001; Whittier 1995). These changes in collective identities can be subtle contested and uneven particularly as they impact large social movements. Existing studies of collective identity transformation particularly those focusing on the national level describe little about the diffusion of changes
