In this essay, you will reflect upon the different kinds of
violence and resistance.
We’ve spoken about the violence that is committed during the
building of the nation-state and also by the market and capitalism. We’ve also
spoken about different kinds of violence, including physical, ecological,
gender-based, racialized, epistemological, covert/overt, spiritual,
elimination, etc.
Similarly, we have explored different forms of resistance.
For instance, resistance to the practices of the nation-state, capitalism, and
empire-building. But we have also discussed forms of resistance that imagine
the world and social relationships differently.
