0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Resisting Gendered Norms by Mona Lilja offers a compelling exploration of the subtle and everyday forms of resistance against gendered power structures in Cambodia. Moving beyond overt rebellion, the book delves into how representations like images and statements negotiate power amid gender-based violence. Rooted in James Scott's theory of the dynamic interplay between oppression and resistance, the work draws on in-depth interviews with civil society members, politicians, and legal stakeholders to reveal tensions between globalised narratives and local identities.

Departing from James Scott's idea that oppression and resistance are in constant change, Resisting Gendered Norms provides us with a compelling account on the nexus between gender, resistance and gender-based violence in Cambodia. To illustrate how resistance is often carried out in the tension between, on the one hand.

Description

Political scientists have, on occasion, missed subtle but powerful forms of 'everyday resistance' and have not been able to show how different representations (pictures, statements, images, practices) have different impacts when negotiating power. Instead, they have concentrated on open forms of resistance, organised rebellions, and collective actions.

Departing from James Scott's idea that oppression and resistance are in constant change, Resisting Gendered Norms provides us with a compelling account on the nexus between gender, resistance, and gender-based violence in Cambodia. To illustrate how resistance is often carried out in the tension between, on the one hand, universal/globalised representations and, on the other, local 'truths' and identity constructions, in-depth interviews with civil society representatives, politicians, as well as stakeholders within the legal/juridical system were conducted.

Praised for its nuanced inquiry, the book is described as a 'subtle and searching examination' that provokes reflection on themes including culture, identity, and memory within the context of social change. Scholars highlight its powerful case studies on gendered power and resistance, especially its analysis of post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia and issues such as forced marriages. The work is noted for illuminating how struggles over narratives constitute sites of biopolitical power and resistance.
