Résumé
With a view to revisiting the concept of how “new social movements” and new cleavages subsequently emerge, this article looks at the relationships that political organisations and social movements develop and maintain with each other. From a localised perspective and using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), this article compares how activist communities in the 1968s were structured in the Swiss cities of Geneva and Zurich respectively. The events of 1968 and their wake brought a widespread increase in political involvement, including movements that condemned many forms of non-economic domination. But the two cities saw different activists and different organisations at work. This analysis reveals how the same doctrinal labels, though claimed by movements in both cities, did not necessarily correspond to identical or even similar militant objectives.
