we were having a (drunken) chat last night about political/state existentialism and how the response of states to resistance movements can be a dependant variable for analysing socio-cultural-historical mechanics of the state.
the starting point was that most resistance movements originate as a response to collective state action. i.e. the IRA only existed because of British occupation of Ireland and organisations like Hamas/Hezbollah only exist because of Israeli occupations. (in fact Israel supported Hamas initially because they weren't keen on Arafat) - and the violent response to collective state action can lead to crisis of confidence/existence.....
Mapping how different states respond to the resistance movements by analysing those responses through a state-existentialist framework would be interesting.
there is a PhD in there for someone....
- What rubbish. And your incomprehensible language doesn't help much. Are you still drunk?Cactus
- do you need me to translate?lowimpakt
- Yeah please, sans deconstructionist jargon.Cactus
- can you compare state responses to resistance movements that come about because of their own actions.lowimpakt
- and what are the characteristics on which you make the comparison.lowimpakt
- It most certainly depends on how you define resistance and it's eventual goal:. A nation-state or a pan nationalist struggle.Cactus
