The temporality of resistance is one of interregna. Resistance wins, loses, and draws, while old and new power relations continuously rise and fall, being entrenched and resurrected as they are contested and usurped. Just as power radiates from all over, from the state, law, other social institutions, and relationships, resistance is diffused across yet vested in individuals and groups, moving in solidarity through interconnected pasts, presents, and futures. “Interregna” thus resonates with contemporary theories about the multisited nature of power, but expands the scope of attention to temporal heterogeneity. It sees resistance as a great host crossing lands, seas, and times. Protests in this political moment are connected by their fury and determination to overcome injustice, as well as by histories and memories to struggles that came before. “Interregna” also keeps us alert to unknown wrongs that lie ahead, and the need to fight ceaselessly for progressive justice. Understanding resistance as interregna, we sharpen our appreciation for law and power, and the manner by which we study legal mobilization, legal consciousness, and social change.

Interregna：时间、法律和抵抗

抵抗的暂时性是interregna之一。抵抗的胜利、失败和平局，新旧权力关系不断上升和下降，在争夺和篡夺中盘踞和复活。正如权力从国家、法律、其他社会制度和关系中散发出来一样，阻力也分散在个人和团体中，在相互关联的过去、现在和未来中团结一致。因此，“Interregna”与当代关于权力多点本质的理论产生了共鸣，但扩大了对时间异质性的关注范围。它将抵抗视为跨越陆地、海洋和时代的伟大宿主。在这个政治时刻的抗议与他们克服不公正的愤怒和决心以及与之前的斗争的历史和记忆有关。“Interregna”也让我们警惕前方未知的错误，以及为进步正义而不断奋斗的必要性。将抵抗理解为interregna，我们加深了对法律和权力的欣赏，以及我们研究法律动员、法律意识和社会变革的方式。
