Abstract

This essay examines how members of the political Right in the United States—including insurrectionists, antiabortion extremists, and adherents of the QAnon conspiracy—have mobilized theories of resistance from early modern Europe to justify their opposition to state and federal law. Rather than simply dismiss these right-wing appeals to resistance theory as unscholarly and anachronistic, the essay argues that we must take them seriously as an uncomfortable part of this theory’s legacy.

谁的抵抗理论?

本文考察了美国的政治右翼成员——包括叛乱分子、反堕胎极端分子和QAnon阴谋的追随者——是如何动员近代早期欧洲的抵抗理论来为他们反对州和联邦法律辩护的。这篇文章认为，我们必须认真对待这些右翼对抵抗理论的呼吁，而不是简单地将其视为不学术和不合时宜的，这是该理论遗产中令人不安的一部分。

期刊介绍： MLQ focuses on change, both in literary practice and within the profession of literature itself. The journal is open to essays on literary change from the Middle Ages to the present and welcomes theoretical reflections on the relationship of literary change or historicism to feminism, ethnic studies, cultural materialism, discourse analysis, and all other forms of representation and cultural critique. Seeing texts as the depictions, agents, and vehicles of change, MLQ targets literature as a commanding and vital force.
