Abstract

ABSTRACT This research explores the 2018 revolution in Sudan to assess the extent to which the adoption of non-violence led to a more successful revolution and set Sudan on a path of democratic governance. It investigates the revolution’s main slogan, Silmiya, coming from the Arabic word Salam meaning ‘peace’. Thus, the nature and function of non-violence as well as what motivates people to resort to non-violence will be considered. The research acts as a point of departure from Fanon’s theory of violence arguing that violence is revolutionary and liberating. Ultimately, the research challenges normative frameworks on the necessity of violence for social movements to succeed as Fanon theorises, sheds light on the power of non-violence, and highlights the importance of re-examining characteristics historically associated with non-violence, such as passivity or weakness.
非暴力的力量:西尔米亚和苏丹革命
本研究探讨了2018年苏丹的革命,以评估非暴力的采用在多大程度上导致了一场更成功的革命,并使苏丹走上了民主治理的道路。它调查了革命的主要口号Silmiya,来自阿拉伯语Salam,意思是“和平”。因此,非暴力的性质和功能,以及什么促使人们诉诸非暴力将被考虑。这项研究是法农暴力理论的一个出发点,他认为暴力是革命性的和解放的。最后,正如法农所言,该研究挑战了社会运动成功需要暴力的规范框架,揭示了非暴力的力量,并强调了重新审视历史上与非暴力相关的特征(如被动或软弱)的重要性。
