Resistance : Subjects, Representations, Contexts

All around the world and throughout history, resistance has played an important role - and it still does.

Some strive to raise it to cause change. Some dare not to speak of it. Some try to smother it to keep a status quo. The contributions to this volume explore phenomena of resistance in a range of historical and contemporary environments.

In so doing, they not only contribute to shaping a comparative view on subjects, representations, and contexts of resistance, but also open up a theoretical dialogue on terms and concepts of resistance both in and across different disciplines.

With contributions by Micha Brumlik, Peter McLaren, and others.
