<p>Liebe Studierende, liebe Liste, <br>
</p>
<p>Methoden des WIderstandes und des Dissidententums sind leider
wieder aktuell geworden. Hier ein Vortrag, der diese Methoden in
eine historische Perspektive rückt: was kann man tun, was wird
getan? <br>
</p>

class="text"><a
href="https://www.zfl-berlin.org/the-dissident-library-en.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">The Dissident Library</a></span></span> will
focus on forms of protest in the USSR and Russia
and dissident protest in the context of other
forms of protest. Anthropologist Alexandra
Arkhipova (Laboratoire d’Anthropologie Sociale
EHESS, Paris) will talk about her and her
colleagues’ work on forms of direct and anonymous
resistance. She will compare forms of anonymous
resistance in Russia, for which she uses the
metaphor of “chips in the pocket,” with forms of
resistance as described by the American
anthropologist James Scott. Scott applies the
concept of “Weapons of the Weak” to forms of
resistance such as rumors, anecdotes, songs, and
carnival texts that are used in situations in
which people are unable to protest directly, when
they resort to ridiculing groups of “strong”
people to reduce the personal risk of persecution.
Drawing on the collection of documents <em>Kramola:
Dissent in the USSR under Khrushchev and
Brezhnev, 1953–1982</em>, compiled by Vladimir
Kozlov and Olga Edelman, Akhipova proposes to
discuss the possibility of applying James Scott’s
concept of “Weapons of the Weak” and Umberto Eco’s
“Semiotic Guerrillas” to forms of protest in the
USSR in the 1970s and 1980s. To get an impression
of forms of protest today, we suggest you visit

kinds of protest on 12 January. </div>
