  Antiferromagnets can be used to store and manipulate spin information, but
the coupled dynamics of the staggered field and the magnetization are very
complex. We present a theory which is conceptually much simpler and which uses
collective coordinates to describe staggered field dynamics in
antiferromagnetic textures. The theory includes effects from dissipation,
external magnetic fields, as well as reactive and dissipative current-induced
torques. We conclude that, at low frequencies and amplitudes, currents induce
collective motion by means of dissipative rather than reactive torques. The
dynamics of a one-dimensional domain wall, pinned at 90$^{\circ}$ at its ends,
are described as a driven harmonic oscillator with a natural frequency
inversely proportional to the length of the texture.
