This article focuses on individual and group activist trajectories in Portugal during and after the 1974 revolution. Paying special attention to the role of places in the mobilization process, the goal is to bridge social movement and revolution literature. I will initially provide a synthesis of how places and activist trajectories are addressed in the study of contention. Then I introduce some examples connecting reflections on activist trajectories with the spatial dimension of places. Finally, the article, revisiting some findings of my own long-term research on activist trajectories across regimes, tries to point out some axes of dialogue between social movement and revolution theories, through the lens of activist trajectories across regimes and places.
