2th update National audience La disobedience Civile, unlike armed struggle, is part of the ordinary life of individuals, who use it to signal their opposition to the force of law. In the 20th century, Gandhi and Martin Luther King made it a privileged instrument of non-violent protest. At the outset, disobedient attitudes took on a more political dimension, inspired by religious or philosophical beliefs. Will they remain the protest mode of minorities or become a new form of civic expression? In a context where feminists, anti-marriage gay, anti-tax movement, indignate, ecologists and alterglobalists, among many other movements, are practising civilian disobedience, this book shows history, ways of action and ambiguous relations with violence, law and the media.
