9320149 COMAROFF, John COMAROFF, Jean This project will examine the various forms of resistance that arose among black South Africans, and especially the Southern Tswana peoples, in response to colonial overrule, 1830-1920; it will also explore how these forms of resistance laid a basis for present-day struggles toward democracy. The study, which will have a strongly comparative focus, conceives of "resistance" as an ensemble of strategies, a continuum ranging from everyday acts of refusal through dramas of alterity, carnivals of terror, rebellions and social movements, to formal political organizations. In exploring the conditions under which black South Africans have defied those who rule them, and in describing the means by which they have done so, the study seeks to answer a number of questions about the nature of resistance. In what circumstances do disempowered peoples seek remedy and redress in the law? When and why do they resort to other means, means either illegal or alegal? Do some forms of insubordination encourage or preclude others? What is the role of consciousness and intention in the motivation of protest--and in determining its historical significance? Is it possible to move beyond a purely reactive view of defiance to grasp the active cultural construction of its means and ends? How do we understand the roles of social class, ethnicity, race, gender, and generation in resistance? The investigation will involve the analysis of documentary sources, supplemented by interviews, in Southern Africa and Britain. The product will be a book, the third in a large-scale study of the social and political effects of colonialism.

9320149 COMAROFF, John COMAROFF, Jean 该项目将研究南非黑人，特别是南茨瓦纳人民为应对 1830-1920 年殖民统治而发生的各种形式的抵抗；它还将探讨这些形式的抵抗如何为当今的民主斗争奠定了基础。 这项研究将具有强烈的比较重点，将“抵抗”视为策略的整体，是从日常拒绝行为到异样戏剧、恐怖狂欢、叛乱和社会运动，再到正式政治组织的连续体。 通过探索南非黑人反抗统治者的条件，并描述他们反抗的手段，该研究试图回答一些有关反抗性质的问题。 被剥夺权力的人民在什么情况下寻求法律补救和补救？ 他们何时以及为什么诉诸其他手段，无论是非法还是合法？ 某些形式的不服从行为会鼓励还是阻碍其他形式的不服从？ 意识和意图在抗议动机以及决定其历史意义方面发挥什么作用？ 是否有可能超越纯粹反应性的反抗观点，去把握积极的文化建构的手段和目的？ 我们如何理解社会阶层、民族、种族、性别和代际在抵抗中的作用？ 调查将包括对南部非洲和英国的文献资料进行分析，并辅以访谈。 该产品将是一本书，是大规模研究殖民主义社会和政治影响的第三本书。
