Abstract
The interest and discussions that our first issue of the Journal of Resistance Studies created motivate a further clarification of our conceptual and theoretical standpoints. Several people – among them authors – have asked what is included within “resistance studies,” and what is not. We as editors have also struggled to explain why we are not happy with article submissions that only refer to others within the (established) field of social movement studies, and do not mention “resistance.”
