dc.description.notesThis paper, referring to research conducted in Canada, explores the relationship between violence, language and oppression. Dominant constructions that define and constrain causes and effects of experiences generate disjunctures between how a person really feels and how she is supposed to feel and respond. Oppressors misrepresent their actions as well-intended through the language of effects. For instance, colonialist discourses mitigate and justify acts of domination and dispossession. Similarly, responses to oppression are designed to further oppress or shift responsibility. Statements such as ‘I am depressed’, ‘I am acting in a depressed way’ or ‘I am refusing to be content with the injustice of the situation’ are possible responses to the same event with completely different implications. Small acts of resistance proposed by Wade that might promote positive change are: get specific; re-engineer the discourse; assume competency; and contextualise.en
