Abstract
In Politics of Dissent the framework for analysing politics of dissent is outlined.
The outlined framework problematizes the conventional understandings of
dissent as something characterising individual historical figures. The chapter
provides both a theoretical underpinning of dissent as well as an approach to
investigate the current contestations taking place on a global level. Politics of
dissent entails the questioning of consensus. It conceptualises dissent as a
collective process taking place on everyday level. It conceptualises moments of
dissent. Finally it investigates the emergent institutions of dissent. That is the
creation of new institutions or the renewal of the existing ones.
