Abstract

This article argues that the duties to protest and to listen to protest are central democratic obligations required for active citizenship. Section 1 sketches protest as communicative resistance. Section 2 argues that we always have a duty to listen to felicitous protests against injustice and that, under conditions of social uprising, we also have a duty to protest. Section 3 defends a view of protest participation that takes into account subjects’ positionality with respect to the injustice being protested, arguing for the special prerogatives of victims and the duties to defer and yield of non-victims within protest movements. Finally, Section 4 elucidates the notion of giving proper uptake to protest and what I call echoing a protest, that is, expressing communicative solidarity with that protest.

抗议和倾听抗议的义务

本文认为，抗议和倾听抗议的义务是积极公民身份所需的核心民主义务。第1节将抗议概括为交际阻力。第2节认为，我们总是有义务倾听反对不公正的适当抗议，在社会起义的条件下，我们也有义务抗议。第3节为抗议参与的观点辩护，该观点考虑到了主体对被抗议的不公正的立场，主张受害者的特殊特权以及在抗议运动中服从和屈服非受害者的义务。最后，第4节阐述了适当接受抗议的概念，以及我所说的呼应抗议，即表达对抗议的沟通声援。

期刊介绍： Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn. It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats. As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies: Why is democracy so prominent in the world today? What is the meaning of democracy? Will democracy continue to expand? Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world? Who leads in democracy? What types of non-Western democratic theories are there? Should democrats always defend democracy? Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?
