In 'Domination and the Arts of Resistance', James C. Scott explores the public and hidden transcripts of power interactions between dominant and subordinate groups.

Scott examines various forms of resistance, including folk tales, jokes, and public performances, highlighting the strategic agency of subordinate groups.
