“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”

power and resistance

“Michel Foucault says: “Where there is power, there is resistance, and […] this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power” (History of Sexuality I, The Will to Knowledge, 1976, p. 95)”

“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
