Creating a Theory of Dissent: Perspectives from China, Brazil, and Beyond

Dissent has been turned into a general label encompassing distinct phenomena and concepts. The usage of the word overlooks nuances and differences between various strands of behavior and expression. The talk will address questions such as: What constitutes manifestations of dissent? When should democracies not endure dissent? What is about dissent that makes it valuable? Who are dissenters and what to do with them? Views and examples from Brazil, China, and beyond will support the argument in favor of a theory of dissent and demonstrate how that can help to solve controversies in polarized societies.
