Abstract:
Working from a narrative criminological framework, this article distinguishes and describes the ‘narrative of rebellion’ as a generic form that can be encountered widely in situations of asymmetrical struggle. Rebellion stories typically (a) subsume individuals within collective avatars that are represented as existing somehow ‘outside of life’ – often through legendary martyrdom, (b) advance plots that draw causal connections between failure/death and regenerative proliferation ‘from below,’ and (c) promulgate of a sense of solidarity with many as-yet unseen fellow travellers. These features offer protective resources for rebels engaging in criminal resistance, while also providing a framework for sense-making that, rather than obfuscating danger (a prominent feature of existing theories of rebellious participation), offers interpretive resources for contending with the likelihood of a perilous fate.
