Question.588 - D 7: Civil Disobedience 4242 unread replies.6161 replies. Remember the word "Kafkaesque," coined after the 20th century writer Franz Kafka? It means "having a nightmarishly complex, bizarre, or illogical quality (Links to an external site.)", and often refers to bureaucracies and other vast social structures that are oppressive to the individual. One way to respond to a Kafkaesque situation is with civil disobedience, a term coined in an 1849 essay (Links to an external site.) by the 19th-century American Transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Civil disobedience is ancient -- see the first chapter of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible, where the midwives disobey the pharaoh, refusing to kill the Hebrew male children, and then dissemble about their disobedience. (See Exodus 1:15-19 (Links to an external site.)) Civil disobedience is still with us today, as suggested in the short BBC video below that traces the idea from Henry David Thoreau, through Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr., up to climate change protesters and the "occupy" movement. A recent and widely-publicized reincarnation of civil disobedience is perhaps in the "cancel culture" movement that is currently a fault-line in the fracture of American politics.
