SITAC Resistance as possibility

The first discussion panel focuses attention on those spheres in which resistance may be an underlying structure for discourse and actions It attempts to establish reasons for which resistance is necessary from political perspective - nderstood in the sense of social action- and from different cultural viewpoints as well. This first approach to the subject seeks to detect social dynamics of negotiation that serve as the basis for further discussion, while at the same time evaluating the ways and terms under which some dynamics of resistance of recent years have been integrated into institutional and media discourse. A highly important aspect of this first block is related to the need to understand resistance, no longer exclusively as a vertical dynamic -that is, ideological- but rather also as a series of practices that develop horizontally within concrete social spheres.
