geographies of resistance
Definition
- Geographers’ use of the term resistance refers to three different, but interrelated, arenas of research: (1) social movements, (2) social protest, and (3) everyday and psychic forms of resistance. Thus, while the word resistance is something of a catch-all term and carries considerable intellectual baggage, it has come to serve as a useful mechanism by which a variety of different approaches to the study of social conflict, opposition to domination, and the assertion of power can be understood.
