Abstract

Contrary to an ontology of defeatism that permeates scholarship on resistance, this paper suggests a perspective through which resistance can lead to hope and the unlikely victory of the powerless against the powerful. We offer an example where resisters develop specific activities that substantially modify a power relationship, thus showing the persistence of a recognition modality of impactful resistance on today's workplaces. The paper engages with recent accounts of postrecognition politics that largely deny the willingness of workers to struggle about issues related to work.
