Popular street politics and political modernization. From a linear to a layered perspective on regimes and repertoires: Antwerp (Belgium), ca. 1880-1940.

This research project examines how street politics changed or persisted in times of political modernization. By enabling a micropolitical approach in a long-term study, the traditional linear perspective on modernization can be challenged. Instead, this project aspires to study the diverse ways (repertoires) in which different social groups in the city did politics (regimes) through a layered street perspective.
