CONTACT:Dr Hilary Powell
DESCRIPTION:How can the historian best attempt to identify the impact of s
 ubordinated groups (such as Spartan slaves) on their respective societies\
 , when their actions are often missing from the source record? This talk p
 resents a theory of reading the ‘hidden transcript’ of such groups\, b
 ased on James Scott’s theories of domination\, resistance\, and the ‘w
 eapons of the weak’. It argues that there are good reasons to think that
  Spartan slaves engaged in more active resistance than is normally thought
  to be the case
