Ideas of resistance have become common in media and political discourse in contemporary times where there is growing awareness of racial violence and xenophobia. Calls to “resist” and awakenings to public life prompt questions about the kind of citizenship being cultivated, the social meanings individuals reproduce and create through participation in “resistance,” and the changing sense of their positions and agency as they act in the world. Here I examine the citizen-subject that comes into being through “resistance” to racial injustice, drawing on the case of Faith in Action (formerly PICO) and its development of a theological organizing framework, the Theology of Resistance. This study analyzes the discourses and content of two public data sources—The Prophetic Resistance Podcast series and news media about prophetic resistance within the organizing network. These sources offer a means to examine the negotiated nature of political selves that are created through processes that socialize and subjugate as well as through processes wherein subjects produce and sometimes transform social positions. Findings show that centering a racial analytic and prioritizing racial justice outcomes, shifts that were made within FIA, results in the cultivation of a political subject that is reflexive about internal and external subjugating forces, relational as it discards the armor of racial hierarchy and exclusion, and constructive as it creates conditions or contexts for new political subjects through prophetic action. This study contributes to the conceptual development of organizing as a mechanism to generate social change; specifically, it offers the lens of political subjectivity as a meaningful analytic to enrich understandings of this mechanism.

以会众为基础的社区组织中的抵抗、种族和主观性

在当今人们越来越意识到种族暴力和仇外心理的时代,抵抗的想法在媒体和政治话语中变得普遍。“抵抗”的呼唤和公众生活的觉醒引发了关于正在培养的公民身份类型、个人通过参与“抵抗”而复制和创造的社会意义,以及他们在世界上行动时不断变化的地位和代理意识的问题。在这里,我研究了通过“抵抗”种族不公正而产生的公民主体,借鉴了信仰行动(以前的 PICO)的案例及其神学组织框架的发展,即抵抗神学。本研究分析了两个公共数据源的话语和内容——先知抵抗播客系列和关于组织网络内先知抵抗的新闻媒体。这些来源提供了一种方法来检查政治自我的协商性质,这些自我是通过社会化和征服的过程以及通过主体产生并有时改变社会地位的过程而创造的。调查结果表明,以种族分析为中心并优先考虑种族正义结果,国际汽联内部发生的变化会导致培养一个政治主体,该主体对内部和外部的征服力量具有反思性,因为它抛弃了种族等级和排斥的盔甲,因此具有相关性,具有建设性,因为它通过预言行动为新的政治主题创造条件或背景。这项研究有助于组织作为产生社会变革的机制的概念发展;具体而言,它提供了政治主体性的视角,作为一种有意义的分析,以丰富对这一机制的理解。
