Resistance in Epistemic, Communicative, and Political Practices (Paperback)

Paperback. In recent years, the concept of resistance has come to play a significant role in public discourse. This is reflected in the rise of progressive social movements seeking to challenge the dominant order by fighting race- and gender-based injustice, dismantling structures of epistemic and educational hegemony, and holding powerful political and corporate actors to account.At the same time, new research in philosophy and neighboring disciplineshas moved beyond cataloguing and characterising forms of oppression to highlighting the practices of resistance that marginalized and oppressed groups engage in. This volume propels that work forward byarticulating a philosophical vocabulary and grammar of resistance. It uses case studies to frame a bottom-up, activist-centered, and multidisciplinary approach to resistance. In doing so, the essays in this volume create new frameworks to explore and engage with the ways that resistance can play a crucial role in our social lives and political futures.
