스콧이 그려낸 지배와 저항의 이중주*

Abstract

James Scott has been constantly paying attention to the lives of the powerless and has studied power relations between the ruler and the ruled. In this book ‘Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts’, he asked the question, ‘how to study power relations?’, and paid attention to the words in the context of power relations. He deepened the concept “everyday forms of resistance”, which he posed in the past, insisting that the power relationship cannot be grasped only by the public transcript. In order to catch what is happening behind the quiet surface, and to see the contradictions and possibilities of change, one should pay attention to the hidden transcript. Scott’s theory of power presented in this book is significant in that it makes us aware of the problems of Lukes’ theory of three-dimensional power and Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, and presents a new question and concept.
