This panel explores how social movements strategically construct, adapt, and contest narratives in response to shifting political, social, and geopolitical contexts. As collective action increasingly unfolds within environments marked by repression, crisis, and rapidly evolving media ecosystems, framing becomes a critical tool through which movements define problems, mobilise support, and negotiate legitimacy. Drawing on diverse case studies from Latin America, Europe, and the post-Soviet space, the panel examines how movements innovate in their narrative strategies—whether by contesting dominant geopolitical framings, resisting protest criminalisation under states of emergency, leveraging media to challenge protest paradigms, or developing increasingly specialised discourses over time. Panellists analyse both macro and micro levels of framing processes, integrating theories of cognitive praxis, media framing, and strategic narrative construction. The panel brings together research on grassroots and transnational movements, environmental activism, anti-authoritarian resistance, and civil society responses to crisis, shedding light on how framing operates not only as a communicative tool, but also as a dynamic process of meaning-making under pressure. Together, the contributions illustrate how narrative shifts can reconfigure political opportunities, movement strategies, and collective identities.
