Week 8 Working with Resistance
Channel: criticalpraxis
Date: 2012-10-01

Week 8 (10/1-10/5): Topic set by Jared Bishop in discussion with Benny. Please talk about resistance in the classroom. Specifically, how does power play itself out through bodies and discourses as a means of ensuring its own central position? For instance, the privileged body that refuses to mark their privilege by refusal to engage and/or affective responses that keep their body at the center of the discussion (e.g. crying because of guilt, etc.). How does this manifest in everyday performances as a person leading a critical life? Take the topic how'd you like to.
