在现代社会民主中，关于参与和抵抗的思想通常通过公民的行动来理解，与国家有关，个人机构被认为存在于参与和抵抗中。本文批评现代自由主义的概念化的机构和阻力的暴力，冲突和不稳定性，如在印度的Adivasi青年的理解是不够的。强调积极参与国家事务，使得与治理结构接触或脱离接触的行为难以理解。像代理和抵抗这样的术语需要解释在社区内外运作的多种权力配置，以及沉默和不参与等行为，这不仅仅意味着不满或冷漠。这些行动不能在公民参与国家工作的自由概念化中理解，需要新的理论框架和分析工具来使这些集体沉默变得清晰。
In modern social democracies, ideas about participation and resistance are generally understood through the actions of citizens, in relation to the state, with individual agency assumed to exist in both participation and resistance. This essay critiques modern liberal conceptualizations of agency and resistance as inadequate for understanding contexts of violence, conflict, and precarity, such as those of Adivasi youth in India. The emphasis on active participation in the state renders acts of (dis)engagement with governance structures unintelligible. Terms like agency and resistance need to account for the multiple configurations of power that operate in and beyond communities, as well as acts such as silence and nonparticipation, which do not simply mean disaffection or apathy. These actions cannot be understood within liberal conceptualizations of citizens participating in the workings of the state and require new theoretical frameworks and analytical tools to render these collective silences audible.
