    This document summarizes an academic article that critiques James Scott's theory of everyday forms of resistance. The article argues that Scott's theory overlooks the ritualistic aspects of peasant resistance and proposes an alternative framework that recognizes resistance as performative rituals rather than merely prudent actions. It acknowledges Scott's contribution to understanding peasant politics but suggests resistance takes more symbolic and dramaturgical forms than his theory allows.
