- W2901120591 abstract "This essay begins in anxiety. My own but also others’, or at least what I take to be their anxiety. I will come to mine by way of theirs which, inmy surmise, is about the potential of protest to bring about social disorderand change. Consider the nineteenth-century French social psychologist and sociologist Gustave Le Bon, for example. In his famous book The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (1895/1960), Le Bon revealshis deep concern about the growing power of “the masses” (p. 16).Influenced by his knowledge of the French Revolution and likely even moreby the social upheavals of his own day, Le Bon is convinced that the masses are determined “to destroy utterly society as it now exists” (p. 16).Although he notes that crowds can be virtuous and heroic (p. 19), hisoverriding concern was their negative qualities, especially with regard to one variant of the “crowd,” mass movements. Crowds, he asserts, “areonly powerful for destruction” (p. 18); they display “extreme mentalinferiority” as well as an “incapacity to reason, the absence of judgment and of the critical spirit,” and an “exaggeration of the sentiments”(pp. 4, 35-36). The crowd, Le Bon asserts, is “the slave of . . . impulses”and “guided almost exclusively by unconscious motives” and instincts: “itsacts are far more under the influence of the spinal cord than of the brain”(p. 36). He sounds anxious. I mention Le Bon because, as a sociologist whostudies social movements, my own intellectual lineage goes back to him,if mostly ashamedly, and indeed is still haunted by his psychological theoryof mass political action, which reduces contentious politics to the instinctdriven, unconscious, irrational, and destructive behavior of unruly mobs.2" @default.
