Formulation and Use of the Concept of "Resistance" in the Context of Genocides

Stepanyan, Inesa · 2025

Traces the evolution of the concept of 'resistance' across the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide, spanning organized armed defense, nonviolent opposition, and spiritual, cultural and intellectual efforts to preserve identity. Stepanyan argues for a taxonomy that does not collapse all resistance into armed struggle. She treats the ongoing struggle against denial as a continuation of resistance beyond the temporal boundaries of the genocides themselves.
