Resistance has often been connected with anti-social attitudes, destructiveness, reactionary or revolutionary ideologies, unusual and sudden explosions of violence and emotional outbursts. This book goes beyond these conventions. Exploring various key questions, ranging from concept definitions of affect and temporality, to complex entanglements of various social dimensions and ethical questions, this accessible guide provides a robust theoretical and methodological framework for researching of resistance and social change. By drawing connections between resistance and politics, between performance and everyday strategies, and between the juridical and its counter-strategies, this book provides students with a transdisciplinary understanding of contemporary debates in this emerging field.

"Lily Fetalsana-Apura uses contextual hermeneutics to offer an alternative interpretation of Joshua 1:1-9 that counters and resists historical-critical and theological readings legitimizing Western conquests and imperialism. After outlining exegetical and hermeneutical procedures for contextual interpretation, she reads the Former Prophets in the context of four hundred years of colonial victimization and a continuing struggle against neocolonialism by marginalized and exploited communities such as those in the Philippines. She argues that Joshua 1:1-9 exhorts strength and courage against exploitation and domination by empire. Her work identifies themes and concepts in the Deuteronomistic History that subvert imperial ideology and that can serve as a model for other work in contextual hermeneutics of biblical texts"--Back cover.

Offers a powerful and influential interpretation of Spinoza's conatusProvides a thorough overview of political theories, clarifying different philosophical traditions that are often obscured under the generic label of modernityDevelops an original analysis of Spinoza's philosophy, based on the concept of conatus, which has been largely neglected in Anglo-Saxon scholarshipBroadens access to the wealth of un-translated literature on SpinozaSpinozism must be understood as a dynamic ontology that necessarily unfolds on practical terrain. Laurent Bove analyses Spinoza's theory of affects as rooted in Habit, generating the constituent power of human beings, commonwealths, nations and multitudes. By interpreting sovereignty as a power that emerges through the active resistance of the always singular body of the multitude, Bove discovers in Spinoza a radically new approach to the State, to citizenship and to history.

"This edited volume brings together a range of perspectives on Educational Leadership, Management and Administration (ELMA) and various theories of resistance or compliance along with how policy and politics play out in school communities. The book makes a significant contribution to debates around theorising educational leadership and the implications of discourses on schooling and the politics of education. It brings together a broad array of international scholars to examine theories of resistance in ELMA and establish a resistance-oriented agenda for critical ELMA research that promotes change and diverse ideas about leadership. Using both empirical data and conceptual analysis, the chapters provide opportunities for theorising the work and working conditions of educational leaders alongside questions of compliance and resistance that further improve the understanding of these concepts in the field. Providing cutting-edge research and theorisation into this emerging area, the book will be highly relevant for researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of educational leadership, management and administration, and educational policy. It will also be of interest to school leaders"--

Nous n'aimons pas les obstacles. Au mieux, ils nous font perdre du temps ; au pire, la vie. Pourtant, les obstacles qui se trouvent devant nous ne sont pas que des défauts à éliminer – des erreurs ou des malédictions. Ils sont aussi l'une des composantes essentielles de nos mouvements et de notre existence. Dès qu'il est question de rester ou de passer quelque part, de trajet et de migration, de frontière ou de mur, mais aussi de corps à corps, de contact entre les chairs, il y a toujours quelque chose, ou quelqu'un, ou une foule, qui se tient là et qu'on ne peut effacer. Et si le monde était avant tout la somme de ces obstacles ? Et si, plutôt que de tenter de les contourner, de les surmonter ou de les ignorer, il s'agissait d'apprendre de ces obstacles pour en devenir un soi-même – une résistance opposée à un mouvement d'appropriation ou de destruction ? Et si, en somme, il n'y avait rien de plus politique qu'un obstacle ? Car penser l'obstacle, c'est aussi penser une manière nouvelle de repartir – malgré tout.
