Spin and surrender: Letting go as a mode of resistance

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

During spin class, the author of this paper thinks into her resistance to letting go of her marriage. She finds herself thinking about a politics of surrender that is not necessarily the opposite of resistance but rather a necessary precondition to a particular quality of resistance that has the potential to lead to a more expansive and inclusive activism. As she looks around the class, and falls into rhythm with those around her, she realized that this inclusive activism could lead perhaps to a more intimate solidarity
