ABSTRACT
Taking his concept of power and his definition of liberty as a starting point, Michel Foucault’s philosophy always assumes that there is also a possibility for resistance; for him the subject always remains at the center of actions for change: “Freedom can be practiced in resistance, insubordination, counter-conduct, as well as ethical subjectivation”. Foucault’s concept of resistance is embedded in his theory of power and must be considered from this perspective. The possibility of resistance by means of the concept of freedom is logically anchored in the concept of power, since where there is power there is also resistance by virtue of the fact that power presupposes confrontation with opposing power. Every individual can be both the starting point for power as well as for resistance. Homi K. Bhabha presents an examination of various forms of resistance in terms of his cultural theory of the third space, itself based on the historical and analysis of colonial and postcolonial situations.
