I want to define some of the terms used in the title and the article in order to ensure a better understanding of the material presented.
Resistance seems to be defined as a combination of both local resistances and transversal struggles.
The first is best conceived of as a launching of individual efforts against specific regimes, in order to bring about changes in power relations. Finally, a panopticon, from what I remember, is a tower that stood in the middle of a round prison, where the guards served their time. From this angle, they were constantly able to see what was going on with the prisoners, maintaining their authority. However, the prisoners were not able to see the guards, further promoting the power of the guards. The term is used both literally and figuratively throughout the article.
