Rise Up : Resistance, Revolution, Abolition
A beautifully illustrated catalogue to a major exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, exploring enslavement, rebellion, revolution and Abolitionism through art, 1750–1850. Drawing on new research, Rise Up and the accompanying exhibition look at the period from 1750 to 1850 when Britain became the world’s first industrialised nation and one of history’s largest empires.At the same time, it played a central role in the Atlantic slave trade, trafficking more captive African people than any other European power.Millions were forcibly abducted and transported to work on British-owned plantations in the Caribbean and the Americas. In Britain, Black and white anti-slavery groups and individuals campaigned for abolition, with Cambridge playing a leading role in the 1780s.Despite opposition, laws were gradually enacted to abolish the slave trade in 1807, and enslavement in 1833.However, other exploitative systems, including apprenticeship and indentured labour, took their place.Financial compensation was awarded to former enslavers, while the formerly enslaved received nothing. This is the multifaceted story of the fight to end Atlantic slavery, of its aftermath and ongoing legacies.It is told through the stories of individuals and communities from across the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas, and through an interrogation of historic objects and artworks, in conversation with works by contemporary artists. Despite the passing of almost two centuries since Britain outlawed slavery, for peoples of the global majority, the struggles for autonomy, equality and social justice continue today.

Oppression and Resistance : Structure, Agency, Transformation
Oppression and resistance dialectically envelop everyday life, for both the privileged and the oppressed.The disenfranchised live under regimes in which repression ranges from brutal to institutionally subtle.The privileged socially reproduce their rule through ideology that justifies and policy that institutionalizes subjugation.However, rejecting depression, detachment, and disaffection that emerges from surviving ruling-class regimes, many previously dispirited, instead, choose defiance.They engage in subjectivity struggles by crafting critical consciousness, refusing to be dupes to ideology that represents them as inferior.They undertake social struggles demanding policy that dismantles institutional discrimination and that enhances opportunities for learning and achievement.The exploited, as best as they can in regimes of ruling class and white male supremacy, reconstruct their selves and, it is hoped, transform society.The qualitative studies that comprise this edited collection, present a structure-and-agency perspective, broadly defined, that constitutes the best sociological lens through which to understand oppression and resistance.Contributors interrogate various aspects of oppression and resistance, from the personal to the institutional, exploring situations in which the structure of oppression was insurmountable and illustrating cases in which agency was able to transform either individual or group identity.

Indie Porn : Revolution, Regulation, and Resistance
In Indie Porn, Zahra Stardust examines the motivations and interventions of independent porn producers as they navigate criminal laws, risk-averse platforms, discriminatory algorithms, and rampant piracy.Herself a porn performer and participant, Stardust takes readers behind the scenes, offering intimate insights into this sociopolitical movement.She finds politicians who watch porn in parliament, protesters leading face-sitting demonstrations, sex workers making COVID-safe pornography, and artists reverse-engineering porn detection software.Against the backdrop of a global gig economy, Stardust documents the promises of indie porn to democratize content, revolutionize production, and redistribute wealth while outlining the fantasies of regulators, whose illusions of what porn is and does foreclose possibilities for transformation.Inevitably, as these paradigms collide, porn producers engage in creative tactics to hustle for survival and visibility, from ethical certification to law reform, sometimes reproducing hierarchies of stigma themselves.By highlighting how porn stigma is bound up with intersecting oppressions, Stardust identifies these junctions as coalitional opportunities for changing social relationships to sex, work, and capitalism.

What is the difference between resistance and revolution?
Resistance typically involves opposing or challenging a specific issue or policy within an existing system, while revolution involves a more fundamental and transformative change to the entire system or structure. Resistance can be more localized and focused on specific grievances, while revolution aims to overhaul the entire system and create a new order. Resistance can be more incremental and gradual, while revolution is often more sudden and radical in nature.

Why does electrical resistance change with temperature?
Electrical resistance changes with temperature because as the temperature of a material increases, the atoms and electrons within the material vibrate more vigorously, causing more collisions between them. These collisions impede the flow of electrons, increasing the resistance. In metals, as temperature increases, the atoms vibrate more, disrupting the flow of electrons, which leads to an increase in resistance. In contrast, in semiconductors, as temperature increases, more electrons are excited into the conduction band, increasing the number of charge carriers and decreasing resistance.

Why does resistance change with increased temperature?
Resistance changes with increased temperature because as the temperature of a material increases, the atoms and molecules within the material vibrate more vigorously, which leads to more collisions between the charge carriers (electrons) and the vibrating atoms. These collisions impede the flow of electrons, increasing the resistance of the material. This phenomenon is known as the temperature coefficient of resistance, and it varies depending on the material. In general, most conductors have a positive temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance increases with temperature, while some semiconductors and insulators have a negative temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance decreases with temperature.

How does electrical resistance change with increasing temperature?
As temperature increases, the electrical resistance of a material also increases. This is because as the temperature rises, the atoms in the material vibrate more vigorously, causing more collisions with the moving electrons, which hinders the flow of electricity. This increase in resistance with temperature is a characteristic of most materials, although some materials, like superconductors, exhibit the opposite behavior.

Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change
Youth resistance has become a pressing global phenomenon, to which many educators and researchers have looked for inspiration and/or with chagrin.Although the topic of much discussion and debate, it remains dramatically under-theorized, particularly in terms of theories of change.Resistance has been a prominent concern of educational research for several decades, yet understandings of youth resistance frequently lack complexity, often seize upon convenient examples to confirm entrenched ideas about social change, and overly regulate what "counts" as progress.As this comprehensive volume illustrates, understanding and researching youth resistance requires much more than a one-dimensional theory.Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change provides readers with new ways to see and engage youth resistance to educational injustices.This volume features interviews with prominent theorists, including Signithia Fordham, James C.Scott, Michelle Fine, Robin D.G. Kelley, Gerald Vizenor, and Pedro Noguera, reflecting on their own work in light of contemporary uprisings, neoliberal crises, and the impact of new technologies globally.Chapters presenting new studies in youth resistance exemplify approaches which move beyond calcified theories of resistance.Essays on needed interventions to youth resistance research provide guidance for further study.As a whole, this rich volume challenges current thinking on resistance, and extends new trajectories for research, collaboration, and justice.

Rebuilding European Democracy : Resistance and Renewal in an Illiberal Age
In recent years serious concerns emerged over the state of European democracy.Many democracy indices are reporting a year-on-year drift towards less liberal politics in the countries of the European Union.Polls regularly suggest that the voters are coming to question democratic norms more seriously than for many decades.Here, Richard Youngs assesses these risks as many analysts, journalists and politicians stressed the danger of Europe descending into an era of conflict, driven by xenophobic nationalism and nativist authoritarians slowly dismantling liberal democratic rights.In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has intensified these fears.There is another side of the democratic equation, however.Youngs argues that governments, EU institutions, political parties, citizens and civil society organisations have gradually begun to push back in defence of democracy.With each chapter, Youngs shows how many governmental, political and social actors have developed responses to Europe’s democratic malaise at multiple levels.Europe’s democracy problems have been grave and far-reaching.Yet, a spirit of democratic resistance has slowly taken shape. This book argues that the pro-democratic fightback may be belated, but it is real and has assumed significant traction with various types of democratic reform underway, including citizen initiatives, political-party changes, digital activism and EU-level responses.

Cairo's Ultras : Resistance and Revolution in Egypt’s Football Culture
The history of Cairo’s football fans is one of the most poignant narratives of the 25 January 2011 Egyptian uprising.The Ultras Al-Ahly and the Ultras White Knights fans, belonging to the two main teams, Al-Ahly F.C. and Zamalek F.C respectively, became embroiled in the street protests that brought down the Mubarak regime.In the violent turmoil since, the Ultras have been locked in a bitter conflict with the Egyptian security state.Tracing these social movements to explore their role in the uprising and the political dimension of soccer in Egypt, Ronnie Close provides a vivid, intimate sense of the Ultras’ unique subculture. Cairo’s Ultras: Resistance and Revolution in Egypt’s Football Culture explores how football communities offer ways of belonging and instill meaning in everyday life.Close asks us to rethink the labels ‘fans’ or ‘hooligans’ and what such terms might really mean.He argues that the role of the body is essential to understanding the cultural practices of the Cairo Ultras, and that the physicality of the stadium rituals and acerbic chants were key expressions that resonated with many Egyptians.Along the way, the book skewers media clichés and retraces revolutionary politics and social networks to consider the capacity of sport to emancipate through performances on the football terraces.

How does resistance change when voltage is increased?
When voltage is increased, resistance typically remains constant in a fixed resistor. According to Ohm's Law, resistance is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to current. Therefore, if voltage is increased, current will also increase proportionally, resulting in a higher power dissipation in the resistor. In some cases, the increase in voltage may cause the resistor to exceed its power rating, leading to a change in resistance due to the resistor heating up and potentially changing its properties.

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.
-
How do resistance and current change with increasing temperature?
As temperature increases, the resistance of a material typically increases as well. This is because higher temperatures cause the atoms in the material to vibrate more, which increases the collisions between electrons and atoms, hindering the flow of current. On the other hand, the current in a material generally increases with temperature due to the higher thermal energy, which can provide electrons with more kinetic energy to move through the material more easily.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.
