Abstract
This paper reflects on the implications of the contemporary diversity of intellectual approaches to the
study of social movements. Sketching some of the key dimensions of difference in the field, it explores
the normative intellectual questions raised by /acknowledging this diversity as well as the intellectual
history questions involved in explaining it. In a global perspective, the question of what a “social
movement studies of the global South” might mean exemplifies the challenge involved. The paper
draws on Aristotle’s typology of knowledge to suggest some ways of handling this situation, before
concluding with some open questions.
