La resistencia como germen de autonomía: una primera interpretación desde/hacia abajo

Abstract

This article discusses the possible bases of a philosophy that, looking down and from the base, can think resistance as the germ of autonomy; more specifically, of societies and autonomous subjectivities. As a first step, we will try to grasp what Zapatismo has exposed as the epistemological basis of this effort. Then, from the point of view of James C. Scott’s contributions, we will analyze the relationship between resistance and those “social abajos” in which resistance develops itself. Finally, we will try to understand in what resistance to a system of dominion founded upon fear may consist.
