| dc.description.abstract | Increasingly implied within currents of so-called 'post-structural' or 'post-modern' theory is a particular conception of how to pursue social and political change based on seeking out and encouraging more flexible and heterogeneous epistemological categories and modes of action. This paper develops and explores this conception of change through bringing together theoretical threads, particularly the work of Alberto Melucci on Contemporary Social Movements, with empirical, specifically the political actions taken in response to the disappearances of women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. | en |
