In reaction to neo-liberal globalization policies that were spearheaded in the
1980s by Reagan-economics and Thatcherism, indignant movements ignited
globally in distinct places, spaces, and territories, using diverse resistance
strategies, both violent and nonviolent. Today, two years into the new social
media revolutions, with the “Arab Spring” (in Tunisia known as Sidi Bouzid
Revolt, in Libya as the Revolution of February 17th, and in Egypt as Revolution
of January 25th), the “indignado/a” movement in Spain, and “Occupy
Wall Street” in the United States, what does it mean to be “indignant”?Within
an interdisciplinary Peace Studies and Research context, how do we begin to
talk about and theorize this (inter)subjective move from being a “victim” to
being “indignant?” And, how do we do so in a way that captures the complex
and multi-layered dimensions of liberation struggles? We begin with a
theoretical overview in order to frame the discussion. We then specifically
examine the “Sahrawi Spring” in order to see theory in practice. As Africa’s
last colony,Western Sahara provides an interesting look into the aesthetics of
resistance. [-]
