Resistances: Between Theories and the Field


Add your own review!

Overview

Our world today is experimenting a time of great power but also of tremendous resistances. Everywhere, people are brought together by similar burdens and frustration and creatively think about how to counter the forms of domination they are ascribed to. In academia as well there is an awakening among scholars to further investigate these multiple forms of resistance and equip the field with useful and empowering knowledge. This book aims at presenting some of these findings and reflecting upon the implications, social relevance, and ethical challenges of the growing field of Resistance Studies.

Reviews

From France's gilets jaunes to the native pipeline blockades in North Dakota - numerous societies confronted with the impact and the decline of a certain political and economic order, see forms of protest and resistance that cannot be embedded in nor really connected to 'classical' political actors and civil society. This is why a comparative work on resistances like this one is timely.--Bruno De Cordier, Associate Professor, Conflict Research Group, Ghent University, Belgium


Resistances is a rich illustration of the interdisciplinary range, empirical scope and theoretical depths of contemporary resistance studies. It articulates a new wave by scholar-activists combining theoretical analysis with activist concerns. It brings the field forward by critically discussing earlier work and suggesting new approaches. Importantly, it argues for our engagement with the resistance-violence nexus and domination within the academia.--Stellan Vinthagen, Professor of Sociology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst This work is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the complex issue of resistance in its different forms and shapes. It is a brilliant introduction to the new trends in resistances studies based on fruitful empirical research. Each chapter integrates a case study which highlights an ongoing debate commented by scholar-activists engaged in the movements they study.--Firouzeh Nahavandi, Professor, Free University of Brussels From France's gilets jaunes to the native pipeline blockades in North Dakota - numerous societies confronted with the impact and the decline of a certain political and economic order, see forms of protest and resistance that cannot be embedded in nor really connected to 'classical' political actors and civil society.
