In a time of renewed interest in insurrectionary movements, urban
protest, and anti-austerity indignation, the idea of resistance is
regaining its relevance in social theory. De-Pathologizing
Resistance re-examines resistance as a concept that can aid social
analysis, highlighting the dangers of pathologising resistance as
illogical and abnormal, or exoticising it in romanticised but
patronising terms. Taking a de-pathologising and de-exoticising
perspective, this book brings together insights from older and
newer studies, the intellectual biographies of its contributing
authors, and case studies of resistance in diverse settings, such
as Egypt, Greece, Israel, and Mexico. From feminist studies to
plaza occupations and anti-systemic uprisings, there is an emerging
need to connect the analysis of contemporary protest movements
under a broader theoretical re-examination. The idea of
resistance-with all of its contradictions and its dynamism-provides
such a challenging opportunity. This book was originally published
as a special issue of History and Anthropology.
