Dynamics of Dissent: Theorizing Movements For Inclusive Futures
Taking into account the present situation all around the globe when de-territorialisation is becoming a constant factor, this book explores the quality of dissent in the context of movements that aim at transformations which foster re-territorialisation and generate positive futures.
This book looks at a range of movements including the medieval Bhakti movement of India and the Beguine movement of 14th Century Europe, the feminist movements of New Zealand and Sweden, the Black Women's peace movement of the US, cultural resistance in 19th Century Bengal, Kabir Suman's 'songs of experience' and Japan's anti-nuclear movement. In addition, it focuses on the theoretical dimensions of resistance, the first with reference to Friedrich Nietzsche and Ren�e Girard's work on ressentiment and the second, by turning to an intimate theorisation in which the body itself acts as a powerful site for dissent.
