The study of resistance has exploded during recent years and the field has broadened in order to accommodate more issues. The broadened scope of resistance studies is fruitful, yet the embracing of resistance’s complex character has led to a situation where the current research on resistance does not offer the appropriate tools to analyze the multiple and often overlapping forms of resistance. It is in this scholarly context that this paper form a bridge between fields in its endeavor to illuminate the richness of ‘resistance’, while still providing tools – for example, definitions, paths and forms of resistance – for analyzing it.
