E N D
Class Relation • Social Structure • Different tune with the rich, another tune with the poor • Different tune with the poor, another tune with the rich
Hegemony • Power • Resistance & Domination • Subordination • Ideology
Power Discourse • Sharply display in ‘Public Transcript’ & ‘Hidden Transcript’ • Hidden Transcript emerge as form of Resistance or Domination • But, self interest reinforce hegemonic appearances/domination
Structural Similarity • Dominated will bear resemblance to one another (slavery, caste, serfdom, colonial) • Institutional arrangement, no political/civil rights • Ascribed Status, Social Mobility is precluded • Recognized Inferior & Superior • Abundance scope of Arbitrary treatment
Power Relation/Public Transcript • Tactics/misguided opinion • Dominant discount Authenticity • Deceitful/Stereotype • Disguise/mask and surveillance • Dialectic – explain cultural pattern of domination and subordination
How Dominant Dominates • Not controlled the stage, but their wish prevail • ‘Public Transcript’ perform in close with their plan • Subordinate endorse their subordination • ‘Transcripts’ are for same purpose but to diff. audience • Domination gets legitimized • Weak has its own compulsion • Elites within subordinates act as middle player
Resistance • Struggle waged by poor was guarded • Instead of open, adopted safer course (anonymous) corruption, character asstn. • Avoid act of Public Defiance • Disguise, Deception • Offstage, highly callous political culture
Hegemonic Culture • Gratifying self-image of elite • Contain certain paternalist/protective and flourish ideas • Rhetorical space to accommodate subordinate’s interests • Politics of disguise/anonymity-conceal the elite identity
Infrapolitics of Subordinates • Low profile Resistance • Helps Hegemonic Incorporation • Not ‘Essentialist’ but almost • Striving the same privilege (not alternative)
Reln of Domination & Resistance • Sustaining Domination is not easy • Needs Reinforcement, Maintenance & Adjustment • Affirmation, Concealment, Stigmatization & Unanimity • Civil Ritual • Euphemizing Coercive Action • Reality Hidden until Contradiction become Public
