The topic of resistance is very broad. It “has received increasing attention in disciplines such as anthropology, cultural studies, geography, political science, and women's studies”. (1) In their article “Conceptualizing Resistance” Hollander and Einwohner write that although there are many different phenomena that are described as resistance, “there is little consensus on the definition of resistance.” (2) When trying to outline its main characteristics, they conclude that at the center of these disagreements on definitions lay such categories as recognition and intent.
