Introduction
Who resists? With whom and against whom do they do so? These questions, long thought to be exclusively human, are increasingly proving more than human in the conflicts of the Anthropocene. To keep up with such messy constellations, we suggest, in this special issue, the reintroduction of the concept of resistance by reworking it as more-than-human resistance. This captures confrontations from below, in which humans and other-than-humans forge all…
Kiltra resistance
During the 2019 uprising in Chile, free-roaming dogs, so-called kiltros , confronting police were turned into symbols of resistance and gained significant attention in studying kiltro politics . While this analytical focus is stimulating for scholars, it is also troubling. It may narrow down such politics to rioting during mass protests and lead to the iconisation of kiltros. Therefore, we expand the focus by scrutinising less spectacular forms o…
Towards an Anthropology of More-Than-Human Resistance
In light of the Plantationocene, a term recently elaborated to capture the magnitude of power of plantation systems from European Colonialism and plantation slavery to industrial animal farming and plant monocultures in the present climate crisis, political anthropology faces new challenges in noticing resistance. While plantation struggles have been crucial for conceptual innovations since the late 1960s as well as new arts of noticing, the rela…
Rethinking radical activism
Using empirical material relating to political squatting in Prague, the objective of this article is to problematize, complement, and extend the radical-activist type within the political-activism typology for postsocialist countries developed by Ondřej Císař. The text analyzes 3 crucial political squats that emerged after 1989: Ladronka, Milada, and Klinika. It aims to document that the radical activism presented by Císař is not homogeneous but …
Dimensions of Politicisation in Research on Youth Music Subcultures
This review article elucidates and systematises existing research and theories of the de/politicisation of youth music subcultures. It examines the political dimension within the interdisciplinary field of subcultural studies in two main steps. First, it identifies and discusses five key dimensions of researching politicisation: politicisation through style and how style is read and through repressive power, the politicisation of everyday life an…
