"Play fool, to catch wise."-proverb of Jamaican slaves Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception-the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage-what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects. Scott describes the ideological resistance of subordinate groups-their gossip, folktales, songs, jokes, and theater-their use of anonymity and ambiguity. He also analyzes how ruling elites attempt to convey an impression of hegemony through such devices as parades, state ceremony, and rituals of subordination and apology. Finally, he identifies-with "ations that range from the recollections of American slaves to those of Russian citizens during the beginnings of Gorbachev's glasnost campaign-the political electricity generated among oppressed groups when, for the first time, the hidden transcript is spoken directly and publicly in the face of power. His landmark work will revise our understanding of subordination, resistance, hegemony, folk culture, and the ideas behind revolt.… (mehr)

Con base en un conocimiento profundo de la historia y la literatura, James C. Scott ofrece una propuesta original para el estudio de las relaciones de poder. Parte de un hecho incuestionable: que los actores de la vida social y la política no reducen sus intervenciones al escenario público. Por el contrario, los temas de mayor importancia se dirimen fuera del alcance del adversario, y los mecanismos con que los dominados ocultan o disimulan sus propósitos resultan vitales, aun en situaciones de relativa estabilidad. Esta obra ha suscitado el replanteamiento de las nociones de subordinación y resistencia, hegemonía, cultura popular y movimientos sociales. Está considerada como una de las mayores contribuciones teóricas al debate contemporáneo sobre las relaciones de poder.

In their conclusion to Michel Foucault: Beyond Structuralism and Hermeneutics, Dreyfus & Rabinow posed the question: 'Is there any way to resist the disciplinary society other than to understand how it works....? Is there a way to make resistance positive...?
This book offers insight into how that resistance has (and can still) manifest itself. ( )
