Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper argues that because of their reliance on a state-centered structuralism, political process and contentious politics models cannot account for sexuality and gender movements that are often not oriented toward the state and are concerned with challenging existing systems of cultural classification. We draw on institutional and feminist theories to develop a multi-institutional politics (MP) approach to social movements based on an alternative theory of institutionalized power. The MP approach also re-conceptualizes the relationship between the material and symbolic realms. We draw on examples from the LGBT movement and illustrate the generalizability of the MP approach.
