The confrontation between the powerless and the powerful is full of deception—the powerless pretending to be respectful and the powerful deliberately exaggerating their fame and control. If we accept these at face value, we will fail to grasp the contradictions, tensions, and possibilities inherent in power relations.
By examining examples from literature, history, and political culture around the world, renowned political scientist and anthropologist James C. Scott explores in depth the connections, differences, and relationships between the overt and latent scripts of dominant and subordinate groups. limit. For their own interests, the powerful and the powerless will tacitly cooperate and collude in public interactions, which makes public scripts often stylized and ritualized. In contrast, any subordinate group will create a specific hidden script in its suffering. These discourses, gestures and practices that occur in the background represent some kind of power criticism against the dominant ones. At the same time, the powerful also develop their hidden scripts, those measures and ideas that sustain their rule but cannot openly acknowledge.
Scott pointed out that where the overt scripts diverge from the latent scripts, discourse and power relations are most prominently revealed; the intersection between the two is an important area of ongoing struggle between the dominant and the subordinate. This landmark work will revise our understanding of the concepts behind subordination, resistance, hegemony, folk culture and rebellion, and provide a new approach to the study of power relations.
