Framing in social movements
Framing in Social Movements
Worker's rights movements around the world employ diverse framing strategies to advance their objectives and challenge unjust labor practices. By examining these framing processes and their outcomes, we gain insights into the dynamics of labor activism and the complexities of addressing systemic inequalities in the workplace.
Framing in Social Movements
Frames are interpretative schemata that organize experience and guide action, influencing how issues are perceived, understood, and acted upon.
Activists employ different framings to shape narratives, mobilize support, and challenge power structures.
Different types of Framing
MotivationalFraming
PrognosticFraming
DiagnosticFraming

- Motivational framing aims to inspire collective action by appealing to emotions, values, and identities. This framing strategy fosters solidarity and commitment among supporters.
- Appeals to justice, equity, and human rights often feature prominently in motivational framing.
- Prognostic framing outlines solutions and strategies for addressing the identified problem. It provides a vision for change and articulates desired outcomes. Activists may propose policy reforms, institutional changes, or alternative practices aligned with their goals.
- Activists use diagnostic framing to define a problem, identify its causes, and assign responsibility. This framing strategy helps mobilize support by creating a shared understanding of the issue's urgency and significance.
Frame alignment processes
- Frame alignment processes involve the alignment of individual beliefs, values, and identities with those promoted by a social movement. Activists engage in framing contests to persuade and recruit allies, while opponents may attempt to discredit or undermine movement frames.
- Successful frame alignment fosters cohesion within the movement and broadens its base of support. Strategies may include narrative framing, symbolic action, and coalition building.
Counter-Framing
- Opponents of social movements often engage in counter-framing to challenge movement narratives and delegitimize their claims. Co-optation occurs when dominant institutions adopt and neutralize movement frames, thereby diluting their transformative potential. Understanding these dynamics is essential for activists to anticipate and respond effectively to resistance.

Economic disadvantage
It's been calculated that same-sex couples could lose $500,000 over a lifetime because they can’t marry & can’t get employers’ spousal health insurance, among other disadvantages. These injustices derive from an unjust cultural-valuational structure.

Pervasive devaluation & disparagement of things coded as ‘feminine’, in relation to which women appear lesser or deviant & which works to disadvantage them,
A range of harms suffered by women: - sexual exploitation & domestic violence- trivializing objectifying & demeaning depictions in the media- exclusion or marginalization in public spheres & deliberative bodies;These harms are injustices of recognition.

THE DILEMMA
Gender & Racial injustice rooted in economic & social structures
Remedies include redistribution + recognition
What is the problem? Women & racialized minorities need to silmultanesouly emphasize and de-emphasize gender/race as a social category

Redistribution, Recognition & Representation
Name some redistributive policies
microfinance, taxes, increase in minimum wage
Redistribution
To put an end to exploitation (having the fruits of one’s labour appropriated for the benefit of others), economic marginalisation (being confined to undesirable or poorly paid work or being denied access to income-generating labour altogether), and deprivation (being denied an adequate material standard of living).
Name some policies for recognition
anti-discrimination legislation, affirmative programs
Recognition
A person or a group of people can suffer real damage, real distortion, if the people or society around them mirror back to them a confining or demeaning or contemptible picture of themselves. Nonrecognition or misrecognition can inflict harm, can be a form of oppression, imprisoning one in a false, distorted, and reduced mode of being.”
Name some policies for representation
quota systems in elections
Representation
Political representation occurs when political actors speak, advocate, symbolize, and act on the behalf of others in the political arena.
