Each historical era has distinctive dominant forms of popular contention.

Evidence

In Villeneuve’s conflict of May 1640, for example, we see a characteristic seventeenth-century interaction, a community’s collective attack on unwelcome representatives of royal power … As for the Paris of July 1789, historians have made it easy to recognize the crucial importance of that series of local assemblies, creations of militias, and dispatches of delegations to the city hall; it initiated one of the major forms of popular participation in what was soon to be a deep revolution. In the same city under German occupation, we observe a risky and loosely coordinated version of a routine French people had been using frequently for almost a century: a sort of demonstration. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 253

Categorization

• XREF: Frames the three incidents (1640 attack, 1789 assemblies/militias, 1940 demonstrations) Tilly will use to set up the whole repertoires argument — relevant to the reader testing whether different regimes channel contention differently. — connects to: Forms of popular struggle vary dramatically across place and time. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 252; Laws of contention vary by regime type and era. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 365; Contention’s regularities need historical, not just mechanistic, explanation.

• SEED: The layered demonstration genealogy — a form developed over nearly a century being re-deployed under occupation — is a good case of repertoire persistence worth an essay on how contention forms survive regime change.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 253
