Abstract
The social movement framing perspective focuses on how social movement activists and participants collectively interpret social problems and convince others to help them bring about social change. Grounded in social constructionist and symbolic interactionist principles and assumptions, the perspective examines how meanings are socially constructed, negotiated, and contested in the context of social movement mobilization processes. This entry introduces and illustrates the central concepts associated with social movement framing: collective action frames, core framing tasks, frame alignment processes, frame disputes, master frames, frame resonance, and identity and discursive fields. The entry concludes with a brief explanation of why framing matters.
